Summary:High-quality poly(N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbony)-glycine) (PFG), a new kind of soluble polyfluorene deriva- tive, was successfully synthesized electrochemically by direct anodic oxidation of N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycar- bony)-glycine (FG) in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE). The onset oxidation potential of FG in BFEE was only 0.6 V vs. Pt, which was much lower than that in acetonitrile +0.1 mol/L tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoro- borate (TBATFB). PFG film obtained from BFEE showed good electrochemical activity and thermal stability. It in- dicates that BFEE is a better medium for the electrosynthesis of PFG film. PFG is highly soluble in common or- ganic solvents, facilitating potential applications as a blue-light-emitting material. Fluorescent spectra revealed that PFG was a good blue-light emitter. Results of FT-IR and IH NMR spectra indicated the polymerization location of N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbony)-glycine occurred mainly at C(2) and C(7) positions of the fluorine ring.
