Abstract

A new class of conjugated polymers have been synthesized based on the bithiazole moiety. The photoluminescence (PL) of these polymers ranges throughout the visible, from blue-green to red. These materials also show high stability, both thermal and oxidative. Therefore, it appears that this class of polymers are good candidates for polymer-based light emitting diodes.
