Abstract: Two series of silafluorene based copolymers containing a small molar fraction(1%—3%) of thiophene derivatives moieties were synthesized with Yamamoto coupling reaction: poly{9,9-dihexyl-3,6-silafluorene-co-[2,5-di(phenylene-4-yl)-thiophene]}(PSiF-DPT) and poly{9,9-dihexyl-3,6-silafluorene-co-[2,5-di-((2-methylphenylene)-4-yl)-thiophene]}(PSiF-DMPT). These copolymers were characterized via UV-Vis absorption spectra and photoluminescence spectra. Polymer light-emitting diodes(PLED) were fabricated to investigate these electroluminescent properties. It was found that the thiophene derivatives moieties became the efficient blue emitter via efficient energy transfer from the polysilafluorene segments. With the decrease of the coplanarity of thiophene derivatives or its feed ratio, the PL and EL spectra can be blue shifted. The color purity can be adjusted to CIE(0.19,0.16) with a EL quantum efficiency of 0.46%.
