Abstract

Novel hyperbranched co-polymers HP1–HP4 with twisted acene units and truxene groups have been synthesised through Suzuki coupling reaction and characterised. Single crystal analyses showed that the model compounds 3 and 5 had twisted structures with torsion angles of 40.73° and 28.65°, respectively. The polymers show blue light emission in organic solvents and thin films, as well as high stability, which might be utilised as potential candidates for organic electronic materials.
