We have reported oligo(p‐phenylene)s (OPPs) with an OH group located at one end, namely,OPP(n)‐OHs(wherenis the number of benzene rings). The OPPs exhibited significant solvatochromism; the deprotonation of the OH groups ofOPP(n)‐OHs, when treated with NaH, caused a bathochromic shift of absorption maxima (λmax) that increased with the donor numbers (DNs) of the solvents. We assumed that the solvatochromism exhibited byOPP(n)‐ONawas attributed to an intramolecular charge shift from the sodium phenoxy group(s) to the adjacent rings. In this study, to investigate the assumption, hydroxyoligophenylenes (R‐OPP(n)‐OH) with an electron‐donating dimethylamino group (n= 3, R = NMe2), an electron‐accepting nitro group (n= 3, R = NO2), and a π‐deficient pyridine ring (n= 2, R = Py) were synthesized by the Suzuki coupling reaction. The deprotonation of the OH group of by treatment with NaH caused a bathochromic shift (Δλ) of λmaxofR‐OPP(m)‐ONa. TheΔλ of the deprotonated species increased with the DNs of the solvents. The emission peak positions ofR‐OPP(m)‐ONadepended on the DNs of the solvents; therefore, the emission color could be tuned by changing the solvent.R‐OPP(m)‐OHreceived an electrochemical oxidation of the OH group and OPP unit. The data related to the remarkable solvatochromic behavior ofR‐OPP(n)‐ONawill be useful information for the development of new luminescent materials.
