Four new soluble polymers containing a 2,7-carbazole unit and a 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole unit in the main chain were synthesized by Suzuki polycondensation. Variation of the substituent groups (R) at 5-position of 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole unit resulted in different color emission of the copolymers. Thus, when R was -CH3 (or -H), the polymer showed yellow-green (or red) emission; whereas the polymers showed the emission from green to yellow-green, when R was -CH2(CH2)(5)CH3 or -CH2OCH(CH3)(2). To investigate the nature of the color change, a Gaussian 03 program was used for estimation of the dihedral angles between a 5-R-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole unit and a 2,7-carbazole unit. The results showed that the different substituents at 5-position of 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole brought about different the dihedral angles, which gave the different conjugation levels to the polymers. Hence, the tunablity of emission color may be attributed to the different conjugation levels between 2,7-carbazole units and 5-R-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole units induced by simply changing substituent groups at 5-position of benzothiadiazole unit. Electrochemically, the copolymers exhibited a higher oxidation potential as well as the reversible reduction behavior bearing from 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole unit. To investigate the electroluminescent properties of the polymers, the nonoptimized devices were fabricated and the results showed that the electroluminescent emission wavelength was basically similar to that of the photoluminescent. All polymers showed good thermal stability with 5 wt % loss temperature of more than 296 degrees C. (C) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
