A series of novel metaloquinolate [aluminum quinolate (Alq3), zinc quinolate (Znq2), and lithium quinolate (Liq)]-containing copolymers were prepared. This is the first report of the synthesis of metaloquinolate-containing polymers by free-radical copolymerization. The structures of the metaloquinolate monomers and copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR and Fourier transform infrared techniques. The differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis results showed that the copolymers were more thermally stable than the methyl methacrylate homopolymer. The copolymers (<25 wt % Alq3, <20 wt % Znq2, or <15 wt % Liq) could be dissolved in common solvents without crosslinking. The ultraviolet–visible absorption and photoluminescence (PL) emission properties of the copolymers were consistent with the literature data of metaloquinolate complexes. The PL efficiencies of the metaloquinolate-containing copolymers with 25 wt % Alq3, 20 wt % Znq2, or 15 wt % Liq were 19.89, 13.24, and 11.82%, respectively. The experimental results indicated that these kinds of materials could be used for practical applications in organic light-emitting diodes. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
