Abstract
AbstractWe synthesized two fluorene‐based copolymers poly[(2,5‐bis(4‐hexylthiophen‐2‐yl)thiazolo[5,4‐day]thiazole‐5,5′‐diyl)‐alt‐(9,9′‐dioctylfluorene‐2,7‐diyl)] (PF‐TTZT), and poly[(5,5′‐bis(4‐hexylthiophen‐2‐yl)‐2,2′‐bithiazole‐5,5′‐diyl)‐alt‐(9,9′‐dioctylfluorene‐2,7‐diyl)] (PF‐TBTT), which contain the electron‐withdrawing moieties, thiazolothiazole, and bithiazole, respectively. Through electrochemical studies, we found that these two polymers exhibit stable reversible oxidation and reduction behaviors. Moreover, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels of PF‐TBTT are lower than those of PF‐TTZT, and the bandgap of PF‐TBTT is smaller than that of PF‐TTZT. Thus the bithiazole moiety in PF‐TBTT is more electron‐withdrawing than the thiazolothiazole moiety in PF‐TTZT. Light‐emitting devices with indium tin oxide (ITO)/poly(3,4‐ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate)(PEDOT)/polymer/bis(2‐methyl‐8‐quinolinato)‐4‐phenylphenolate aluminum (BAlq)/LiF/Al configurations were fabricated. The performance of the PF‐TBTT device was found to be almost three times better than that of the PF‐TTZT device, which is because electron injection from the cathode to PF‐TBTT is much easier than for PF‐TTZT. We also investigated the planarity and frontier orbitals of the electron donor‐acceptor (D‐A) moieties with computational calculations using ab initio Hartree–Fock with the split‐valence 6‐31G* basis set. These calculations show that TBTT has a more nonplanar structure than TTZT and that the bithiazole moiety is more electron‐withdrawing than thiazolothiazole. These calculations are in good agreement with the experimental results. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 7148–7161, 2008
