A Study of Excimer Emission in Solutions of Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) Using Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report electrochemical studies and the observation of excimer emission from the conjugated polymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PDOF) in benzene-MeCN solutions during electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL). The ECL emission spectrum resulting from the annihilation reaction between PDOF radical ions is characterized by two bands, one at 438 nm and a broad band centered at 610 nm. The ECL emission at shorter wavelengths is assigned to intrapolymer emission of PDOF, while the emission at longer wavelengths arises from the excited-state complex of the polymer formed in the radical annihilation reaction. The relative excimer emission from PDOF (the ratio of excimer ECL emission to intrapolymer emission) depends on polymer concentration.

Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence. 76. Excited Singlet State Emission vs Excimer Emission in Ter(9,9-diarylfluorene)s
The electrochemistry and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of two ter(9,9-diarylfluorene)s, TDAFs, were investigated. The ECL from these new blue emitters produced by ion annihilation showed spectra with significant emission at longer wavelengths and was different from their fluorescence spectra. This was ascribed to the formation of excimers. Excimer emission was not observed in ECL dur...

We recently reported the discovery of soliton-like electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) waves from pure conjugated polymer films and gold-nanoparticles-doped polymer films. In addition to a more detailed study of these polymer systems by changing the film thickness and the distribution of local leaks, we also apply the ECL wave phenomenon to polymer blends of conjugated and nonconjugated po...

The electrochemistry and radical ion annihilation electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of 9,9'-spirobifluorene-bridged bipolar systems containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole-conjugated oligoaryl and triarylamine substituents were investigated. The stability of the oxidized spirobifluorenes was improved by functionalization with triarylamine centers. These donor-acceptor (DA) compounds exhibited a good...
