Presentation of poly(phenylene-vinylene) derivatives via soluble precursor polymers

摘要

A method of preparing a lass of PPV derivatives includes preparing a soluble precursor of a PPV derivative and converting the soluble precursor to a PPV derivative. The converting includes performing either a thermal treatment in a range of temperatures from approximately 25 DEG C. to 400 DEG C. at a reduced pressure or an acid-catalyzed ultraviolet radiation treatment.
