Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>The preparation of dialkyl‐substituted poly(2, 5‐didecyl‐1, 4‐phenylene vinylene) (<bold>PDDPV</bold>) by the Horner‐Emmons polycondensation is described. Its performance in an organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) device architecture is compared with devices prepared from the analogous dialkoxy‐substituted poly(2, 5‐didecyloxy‐1, 4‐phenylene vinylene) (<bold>PDOPV</bold>) and the corresponding alkyl‐alkoxy‐substituted alternating copolymer. Additionally, the structure, stability, electrochemical, and optical properties of the PPVs were characterized by gel permeation chromatography, thermogravimetric analysis, NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, UV‐Visible spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
