Light-emitting polymers [46,48] are a more recent development and may eventually prove superior to small-molecule OLED. Typical polymers are the green poly(para-phenylene vinylene) (PPV 53), the orange-red dialkoxy derivatives (54), and the blue polyfluorene (55) [48],... 

Phenylene-based polymers are one of the most important classes of conjugated polymers, and have been the subject of extensive research, in particular as the active materials in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) [1,2] and polymer lasers [3]. These materials have been of particular interest as potential blue emitters in such devices [4], The discovery of stable blue-light emitting materials is a major goal of research into luminescent polymers [5]. Poly(para-phenylene) (PPP, Scheme 1, 1) is a blue emitter [6], but it is insoluble and so films of PPP have to be prepared via precursor routes [7]. Substitution with long alkyl...
