Synthesis and Properties of Phosphorescent Polymers with Aggregation-induced Emission
A series of phosphorescent polymers with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature were synthesized by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki polycondensation of tetraphenylethene (TPE)
iridium complex and 9
9-dioctylfluorene. All the obtained polymers are soluble in common organic solvents
such as chloroform
dichloromethane and tetrahydrofuran (THF)
at room temperature
but insoluble in water. Their thermal and photophysical properties
as well as AIE performance of the resulting phosphorescent polymers are investigated with different feed ratios of iridium complex varing from 0.5% to 4%. These polymers display good thermal properties with a high thermal degradation temperature (
>
300 °C) and glass transition temperature (≈ 100 °C). Polymer PFTPE displays the maximum photoluminescent (PL) emission at 440 nm. Relative to PFTPE
all the phosphorescent polymers prepared with iridium complex feed ratios in the range of 0.5% − 4% emit green light with an emission peak at about 505 nm. AIE performances of these phosphorescent polymers are examined by studying the PL emission behaviour of their diluted mixture in THF/water under different water fractions (
f
w
). The aggregates are prepared by adding different fractions (
f
w
= 0% to 90%) of ultra-pure water into THF solution. Both PL intensity and quantum yield (
Ф
PL
) of PFTPE-Fir0.5 and PFTPE-Fir1 exhibit an upward trend with the increasing
f
w
from 0% to 80%. However
when
f
w
further increases from 80% to 90%
PL intensity and
Ф
PL
show downward trend. The maximum values of
Ф
PL
are 37.3% for PFTPE-FIr0.5 and 38.6% for PFTPE-FIr1
respectively. Similarly
PL intensity and
Ф
PL
of PFTPE-FIr2 and PFTPE-FIr4 display the same behaviour as PFTPE-FIr0.5 and PFTPE-FIr1. And PFTPE-FIr2 and PFTPE-FIr4 reach the maximum
Ф
PL
value of 37.2% and 39.9%
respectively
at
f
w
of 30%. This indicates that these phosphorescent polymers have AIE feature
suggesting that they are potential materials for fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes and fluorescent sensors.
