Electroluminescence electrochemistry

J.H. Kim and H. Lee, Synthesis, electrochemistry, and electroluminescence of novel red-emitting poly(p-phenylene vinylene) derivative with 2-pyran-4-ylidene-malononitrile obtained by the Heck reaction, Chem. Mater., 14 2270-2275, 2002. 

DNA is said to be the molecular memory of living things. DNA is expected as electro-conductive [2] and ion conductive [3] materials, base materials for electroluminescence [4], and so on. There is wide number of trials of DNA reported in electrochemistry. We have been trying to solubihze DNAs in several organic solvents including ELs [5]. J. Davis and coworkers have also pursued this subject, and both groups have determined some ELs to be good solvents for DNA [6]. 

Various combined measurements, often combinations of spectroscopy and electrochemistry, yield information on special processes, for example, in photoelectrochemistry or electroluminescence.
