Abstract

This review is an overview of our previous work on the synthesis and propertiesof poly(p-phenylenevinylene)s (PPVs) selectively fluorinated in different positions of theconjugated backbone. Both the synthetic challenges and the effects of functionalization withfluorine atoms on the optical behavior are discussed, highlighting the peculiarities and theinterest of this class of conjugated polymers. A general polymerization protocol for PPVs,that is based on the Pd-catalyzed Stille cross-coupling reaction of bis-stannylated vinylenemonomers with aromatic bis-halides, has been successfully extended to the synthesis ofselectively fluorinated poly(p-phenylenevinylene)s. The properties of a series of these PPVsdiffering in the number and positions of the fluorine atoms on the conjugated backbone havebeen studied, even in comparison with the non-fluorinated counterparts. The intriguingoptical features of the resulting materials are discussed considering not only the role of theelectronic and steric effects induced by the fluorine substituents, but also the impact of thefluorination on the solid state organization and intermolecular interactions.
