Abstract

The present invention relates to novel copolymers, compositions comprising novel copolymers, and electronic devices comprising at least one layer containing the copolymer.

Claims (24)

1. A copolymer having repeating units derived from at least one first monomer selected from the group consisting of A4

and at least one second monomer selected from the group consisting of A1 to A3, B5, and C5,

R′=D, alkyl, fluoroalkyl, heteroalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, alkoxy, fluoroalkoxy, N(R′″) 2 , R″,

R″=reactive group

R′″=alkyl, fluoroalkyl, aryl

Ar, Ar′=independently phenylene, naphthylene, or biphenylene

E=(CR iv R v ) n , wherein R iv and R v are each independently selected from H, F, alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, fluoroalkyl, fluoroaryl, fluoroalkoxy, and fluoroaryloxy and wherein R iv and R v can, when taken together, form a non-aromatic ring,

X=leaving group

Y=alkyl, heteroalkyl, R

a=0 to 4

b=0 to 20

m=0 to 5

n=1 to 20

q=0 to 7;

and further wherein the first monomer is different from the second monomer and at least one monomer contains at least one reactive group.

2. A copolymer of claim 1 wherein b=0 or 1.

3. A copolymer of claim 2 wherein b=0.

4. A copolymer of claim 1 wherein a=b=0.

5. A copolymer of claim 1 wherein R is 3-vinylphenyl.

6. An organic electronic device comprising at least one layer comprising at least one copolymer of claim 1 .

7. An organic electronic device of claim 6 wherein the at least one layer is a buffer layer.

8. An organic electronic device of claim 6 wherein the at least one layer is a hole transport layer.

9. An organic electronic device of claim 6 wherein the device has the following structure, in order: anode, buffer layer, hole transport layer, photoactive layer, electron transport layer, electron injection layer, cathode.

10. A copolymer of claim 1 , wherein the reactive group is selected from the group consisting of vinyl, acrylate, perfluorovinylether, siloxande, and 1-benzo-3,4-cyclobutane.
