Facile Synthesis of Pyrene/Pyrrole Copolymer with Strong Green Fluorescence

Article Preview

Abstract:

The pyrene/pyrrole copolymer (Pn/Py copolymer) has been sucessfully synthesized by the facile chemically oxidative copolymerization. UV-vis and FT-IR spectra are used to investigate the molecular structure of the copolymer. The results show that pyrene and pyrrole units in the copolymer chain are interconnected via α, α-coupling to form a linear structure. At the same concentration, the copolymer solution exhibits the strongest green fluorescence with a maximum emission at 503 nm and a large stokes shift of about 113 nm by fluorescence spectrometer. The excellent fluorescence of Pn/Py copolymer may be due to its better planar molecular structure and higher large π-conjugation, that is confirmed by UV-vis spectra and molecular simulation.
