To fabricate luminescent liquid crystalline polymers (LLCs), two monomers 2,5-bis[(4′,4″-dibutyloxy)tetraphenylphthalate]styrene (M1) and 2,5-bis[(4′,4″-dibutyloxy)tetraphenylethylene]styrene (M2) have been successfully designed and synthesized. AlthoughM1andM2show no LC property andM1is nonemissive in the solid state,M2shows very strong solid-state emission with a fluorescence quantum yield (ΦF) of 27.7%. The better solid-state luminescence behavior ofM2thanM1can be attributed to the elimination of the photoinduced electron transfer effect as suggested by the theoretical calculation results. The structural difference betweenM1andM2also results in a dramatical difference of polymerizability. WhileM1can be readily homopolymerized using the radical polymerization method,M2can only be copolymerized under harsh conditions. The resulting homopolymer poly{2,5-bis[2-(4,4′-dibutyloxy)tetraphenylphthalate]styrene} (P0) and copolymers poly{2,5-bis[(4′,4″-dibutyloxy)tetraphenylethylene] styrene}x–{[2,5-di(hexylformate)]styrene}y(Pns,n= 1, 2, 3) all show typical columnar liquid crystal phase (ColH) as demonstrated by the variable-temperature 1D wide-angle X-ray diffraction results. Similar to their corresponding monomers,P0is weakly emissive with a low ΦFof 2.0% in the solid state whereasPnsexhibit strong solid-state fluorescence with ΦFin the range 18.0–45.1%. The ΦFvalue of the copolymers increases with the increasing contents of compositionM2. The obtainedPnswith good solution processability can be used to prepare highly luminescent two-dimensional patterns with high resolution through nanoimprint lithography, which reveals thatPnsfind potential applications in advanced optoelectronic and biophotonic devices.
