   Abstract:
   The ethyne-bridged porphyrin oligomers constitutes a highly promising new class of emissive dopants suitable for the fabrication of near infrared (NIR) polymer-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). These fluorophores, synthesized from simple porphyrinic building blocks, are attractive as components of long-wavelength electroluminescence (EL) layers that consist of conjugated polymer/small molecule blends. Such experiments, coupled with potentiometric data, showed that in EL charge is efficiently trapped by the porphyrinic guests.
