Abstract

Fluorescence quenching processes of poly[2‐methoxy‐5–(2′ethyl‐hexoxy)‐p‐phenylene vinylene] (MEH‐PPV) in solution by electron acceptors, O~2~ and acid, have been studied. Static quenching of the fluorescence from MEH‐PPV by an electron acceptor (DDQ or TCNE) occurs due to electron transfer from MEH‐PPV to the electron acceptor and this electron transfer quenching can be promoted by chloroform. Photooxidation takes place in the MEH‐PPV solution and singlet oxygen is an intermediate in the photooxidation. according to the results of ESR spectroscopy. Acid also plays an important role in the fluorescence quenching process of MEH‐PPV, by the protonation of the alkoxy groups in the molecular chain.

## Abstract Poly(2‐acetylamino‐1,4‐phenylene) was synthesized by coupling polymerization of 2,5‐dibromoacetanilide. Partially hydrolyzed poly(2‐acetylamino‐1, 4‐phenylene)s were prepared with a degree of hydrolysis per repeating unit from 15 to 98%. UV spectra and fluorescence were studied in DMSO
