Abstract—Photoelectric and electrical properties of polyphenylquinolines differing in the structure of donor bridge groups between quinoline moieties have been studied. It is demonstrated that films of the polymers synthesized exhibit a photosensitivity at the level of 105 cm2 J–1 (integrated sensitivity 5 × 10–4 lx–1 · s–1), with a quantum yield of carrier photogeneration of 0.07 and a carrier drift mobility on the order of 10–6 cm2 V–1 s–1. The fact that the electron and hole drift mobilities in polyphenylquinoline with a phenylamine bridge group are balanced makes the polymer promising for development of film-type devices based on the bipolar conductivity of a material (e.g., single-layer light-emitting diode).

1. INTRODUCTION A first priority in the development of new polymers for organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is a search for polymers that exhibit high-efficiency electroluminescence (EL) and have properties stable against external disturbances. Of interest in this regard are aromatic nitrogen-containing representatives of the class of polyphenylquinolines:

where R = C6H13–. It was noted that this polymer shows luminescence in the spectral range 570–580 nm (with a quantum efficiency as high as 0.035%) and can be used as an electron-transport layer in a double-layer LED [2]. If aliphatic substituents are introduced into the structure of the quinoline moieties instead of phenyl substituents and derivatives containing para-phenylene, 4,4'-(biphenylene), stilbene, 5,5'-(bithienylene), bis(thienyl)vinylene, and 3,7'-phenothiazinylene groups are used in the Ar moiety, the polymers become soluble in organic solvents. The synthesis and structure of polyquinolines of this kind were described in [3]:

Kim et al. [1, 2] have synthesized 2,6-polyphenylquinoline containing an oxygen bridge group between quinoline moieties and 9,9-di-n-hexylfluorene in the Ar-moiety:

It was shown that these polymers have a bipolar conductivity and the peak of the luminescence band of the carbazolyl-containing polymer is shifted to longer wavelengths as compared with that
