ABSTRACTNovel poly(p-phenylene ethynylene) polymers, ANT-OPPE and COU-OPPE, have been prepared, in which anthracene and coumarin sensitizer molecules are covalently attached to the conjugated polymer backbone via a flexible spacer. These polymers show efficient energy transfer from the pendent sensitizer molecule to the PPE backbone, both in dilute solution as well as in an oriented polyethylene matrix. In case of ANT-OPPE, we found that the PPE backbone adapts the orientation of the matrix and is efficiently oriented, while the anthracene moiety remains essentially isotropic, resulting in a state-of-the-art polarizing energy transfer for this system.

AbstractPoly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) shows highly efficient blue emission with photo excitation occurring between 340–400 nm. Here we show that PFO can in dilute solution emit at a wavelength well below that at which it is being exited. This, we propose is related to an energy transfer from conjugated parts of the polymer chain into more localised states which then emit at a lower wavelength. These localised states can be considered as defects in the conjugation of the polymer or as chain ends. These may produce quasi monomer or quasi dimer species within the chain, which will have a HOMO-LUMO gap of higher energy than the conjugated polymer. These then fluoresce at the lower wavelength; essentially causing, by energy transfer, a process of energy up-conversion.

The effect of laser dye (Fluorol 7GA) content on the optoelectronic properties of Poly ( 9,9'-di-n-octylfluorenyl-2.7-diyl) conjugated polymer (PFO) based OLEDs has been investigated. The PFO/Fluorol 7GA hybrids with weight ratios between 0.1 and 5 wt. % were prepared using the solution blending method. The blends were deposited on ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) substrate using spin-coating technique. Thin layer of aluminum was deposited on top of the films to act as electrode. Absorption and photoluminescence techniques were used to investigate the energy transfer in the blend. The device performance was investigated in terms of electroluminescence, luminance, luminance efficiency and color measurements. The Förster energy transfer occurred in the blends as evidence from optical spectroscopy and average distance between donor and acceptor molecules. The optimum ratio was 0.5 wt. % where highest enhancement in OLEDs performance was observed. These were attributed to the synchronize effect of efficient energy transfer from PFO to Fluorol 7GA and carrier trapping processes.

ABSTRACTEffect of host polymers on energy transfer in phosphorescent dye doped polymer light emitting devices has been investigated. Poly (N-vinylcarbazol) [PVK] and poly (9,9'-di-n-hexyl-2,7-fluorene-alt-1,4(2,5dinhexyloxy) phenylene) [PFHP] were examined as the host materials for the phosphorescent dyes fac tris(2-phenypyridine) irdium(III) [Ir(ppy)3] and 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethyl-21H,23H-porphyrin platinum(II) [PtOEP]. The host and guest materials have the large spectrum overlap between the emission of the hosts and absorption of the guests. When the guests were doped in PVK, the singlet-singlet and triplet-triplet energy transfer took place efficiently. On the contrary, the energy transfer did not take place from φ-conjugated polymer PFHP to the guests, even though common requirements for Förster and Dexter energy transfer were fulfilled. Host aggregation in PFHP based phosphorescent dye doped light emitting devices can play an undesired role obstructing efficient energy transfer.

A π-conjugated polymer containing spiropyrans (SPs), which could be almost completely converted to protonated merocyanines (MCH+) and back to the SP form by adding an acid and a base, respectively, was developed. The insulation of the π-conjugated polymer, referred to as insulated spiropyran-containing poly(p-phenylene ethynylene) (ins-SP-PPE), using permethylated α-cyclodextrins (PM α-CD) suppressed the π-π interaction between the polymer chains containing MCH+, and the installation of PM α-CD improved the switching ability of SPs. The polymer exhibited repeatable acidochromism with almost complete conversion between the SP and MCH+ forms. Photoluminescence measurements were conducted and the acid-induced luminescence quenching of the polymer in the solution was observed, which stemmed from energy transfer from the PPE to MCH+ moieties. In the solid state, the quantum yield of ins-SP-PPE was more than twice that of the uninsulated polymer, which derived from the insulation effects. The acid-induced luminescence quenching was also observed in the solid state.

Europium doped silver tungstates α-Ag2−3xEuxWO4 (x = 0, 0.0025, 0.005, 0.0075 and 0.01 mol) were synthesized by the coprecipitation method at 90 °C for 30 minutes. PL spectra showed a broad band related to the [WO6] group and characteristic narrow peaks due to the f–f transitions of Eu3+ as a result of efficient energy transfer from the matrix.
