Soluble green light-emitting poly（9,9-dihexylfluorene- co-fluorenone） was synthesized by solvent-free oxidative coupling polymerization of 9,9-dihexylfluorene in a facile one-step reaction. The polymers were characterized by FT-IR, ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The region-regular structure of the polymer linking at 2, 7＇-position on the fluorene moieties was obtained. The FT-IR spectra of the polymers showed fluorenone vibration. The fluorescence spectra of the solid thin film of the polymers displayed green light-emitting, which was emitted from fluorenone moieties produced in the polymerization process.
Dihexylfluorene and N-butylcarbazole were copolymerized by solid-state oxidative coupling polymerization in the presence of anhydrous FeCl3 at room temperature. The solid-state films of the copolymers emitted blue light after beating at 150 ℃ in air for 24 h, no red-shifted emission was observed by fluorescence spectroscopy.
