Synthesis and characterization of poly(2,6-quinoline vinylene)

A synthetic route for a new conjugated polymer, poly(2,6-quinoline vinylene) (PQV) is presented. The UV-Vis absorption spectrum of polymer showed λmax at 430 nm and the fluorescence maximum was observed at 515 nm by using 430 nm excitation wavelength. Polymer light-emitting diodes (LEDs), constructed with ITO/PQV/A1 configuration, showed broad emission with λmax at 530 nm.
