Efficient poly(p-phenylenevinylene) derivative with 1,2-diphenyl-2′-cyanoethene for single layer light-emitting diodes

A novel luminescent polymer, poly(2-methoxy-5-[6′-{1-cyano-1′-phenyl-2-(4-phenoxy)-ethene}]-hexyloxy-1,4-phenylenevinylene-alt-2,5-bis-(dodecyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (MCN-PPV), was synthesized by the Heck coupling reaction. Electron withdrawing penda
