Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>A novel conjugated polymer <bold>P‐1</bold> incorporating Ru(II) bis(acetylide) complex and borondipyrromethene (BODIPY) moieties in the main chain was synthesized by Pd‐catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reaction of diethynyl substituted BODIPY derivative (<bold>M‐1</bold>) and Ru(II) bis(acetylide) complex (<bold>M‐2</bold>), and the reference polymer <bold>P‐2</bold> was obtained from the same method as preparation of <bold>P‐1</bold>. Compared with <bold>P‐2</bold>, Ru(II)‐containing polymer <bold>P‐1</bold> shows low‐bandgap as 0.87 eV from cyclic voltammetry, and obvious redshifts in both UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectra. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
