Abstract
An electroluminescent polymer in which the chromophoric pendant groups are attached to a nonconjugated main chain, poly(stilbenyl-p-methoxystyrene), has been synthesized by a Williamson condensation of poly(p-acetoxystyrene) and p-(chloromethyl)stilbene. Characterization was carried out by NMR, FTIR, DSC, and elemental analysis. When used as the active layer of a light-emitting diode, emission was observed with a spectral maximum at 450 nm.
