A series
of AA/BB-type supramolecular polymers (SP1–3) based
on pillar[5]arene host–guest interactions was developed and
their photoelectric properties were further evaluated. The formation
of SP1 was confirmed by multiple measurements via nuclear magnetic
resonance and specific viscosity studies. The electroluminescence
properties of SP1–3 were also investigated. As a result of
the efficient energy transfer caused by the exciton trapping on narrow
band gap guest G2, by applying a doping strategy, the light-emitting
color of the resulting polymers could be easily turned from blue to
green. Meanwhile, photoluminescent efficiencies up to 81.6% were obtained.
All the supramolecular polymers prepared in this work were utilized
as the emissive layers (EMLs) in light-emitting devices and a maximum
luminance efficiency (LE) of nearly 5 cd A–1 was
achieved.
