The aim of the study was to present the influence of various styrylquinoline (StQ) substituents on the luminescence, structural, and optical properties of StQ-containing copolymers. StQ-containing copolymers were synthesized by free-radical thermoinitiated polymerization. The calculations of the copolymerization ratios for the obtained copolymers were based on the basis of the integrated peak areas of the 1 H NMR spectra in CDCl 3 . The luminescence measurements show that the change in the nature of the electron-donating and electron-withdrawing of the substituent shifts the emission band to longer wavelengths and causes a transition from blue fluorescence to green or yellow and orange (or even white), regardless of the electronic nature of the introduced substituent group. The structural properties were measured by Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies. For all of the compounds, we observed similarities in the bands in FTIR and Raman measurements. The optical parameters were obtained from the absorbance measurements. Additionally, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to study the surface topography of the thin layers on the glass substrate. The SEM images confirm that we obtained smoother layers for two copolymers. The computational Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis fully supports the beneficial features of the analyzed systems for their applications in optoelectronic devices. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that all of the studied styrylquinolines are promising materials for applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, COP1 with an OCH 3 donor substituent possess a wider luminescence band, and its layer is smoother and more transparent. |
