Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A polymer containing an optionally substituted repeat unit of formula (I) wherein each R is the same or different and represents H or an electron withdrawing group, and each R 1 is the same or different and represents a substituent.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition comprising: a polymer comprising an optionally substituted first repeat unit of formula (VII): wherein each R 2 is the same or different and represents a substituent; the R 2 groups may be linked to form a ring; bond (a) is bound to the 3-position of the repeat unit of formula (VII); and bond (b) is bound to the 6-position of the repeat unit of formula (VII); and, a phosphorescent dopant. 2. A composition according to claim 1 , wherein at least one R 2 is a solubilizing group. 3. A composition according to claim 1 , wherein each R 2 is the same or different and is selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted C 1-20 alkyl, optionally substituted C 1-20 alkoxy, optionally substituted aryl, and optionally substituted heteroaryl. 4. A composition according to claim 3 , wherein each R 2 is a C 4 -C 10 alkyl. 5. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the polymer comprises an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl second repeat unit. 6. An optionally substituted monomer of formula (VIII): wherein each R 2 is the same or different and represents a substituent; each X independently represents a polymerizable group; bond (a) is bound to the 3-position of the repeat unit of formula (VII); and bond (b) is bound to the 6-position of the repeat unit of formula (VII). 7. A monomer according to claim 6 , wherein each R 2 is the same or different and is selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted C 1-20 alkyl, optionally substituted C 1-20 alkoxy, optionally substituted aryl, and optionally substituted heteroaryl. 8. A monomer according to claim 6 , wherein each R 2 is a C 4 -C 10 alkyl. 9. An electroluminescent device comprising an anode, a cathode and an electroluminescent layer located between the anode and cathode wherein the electroluminescent layer comprises a polymeric host material comprising an optionally substituted first repeat unit of formula (VII) and a phosphorescent dopant: wherein each R 2 is the same or different and represents a substituent; the R 2 groups may be linked to form a ring; bond (a) is bound to the 3-position of the repeat unit of formula (VII); and bond (b) is bound to the 6-position of the repeat unit of formula (VII).
