Description

A novel dendritic polyfluorene derivative containing triphenylamine, poly((9,9-dibutyl-2,7-diiodo-9H-fluorene)trisphenylamine) (PDFA) was synthesized by the Ni(0)-catalysed reaction of 9,9-dibutyl-2,7-diiodo-9H-fluorene and tris-(4-iodo-phenyl)-amine. PDFA has many advantages compared with polyfluorene (PF). It enhances the hole-injecting and transporting capabilities and the dendritic structure significantly, reduces aggregation and enhances the thermal stability. Single- and double-layer LED devices using PDFA showed a maximum luminescence intensity and quantum efficiency that was almost twice that of the device based on PF (poly(9,9-dibutyl)fluorene) and the emission colour was closer to standard blue. The experimental results indicated that the incorporation of the hole-transporting triphenylamine group into PF may provide a means of improving the thermal and electroluminescence characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes
