AbstractEnergy transfer from two polyphenylene-type polymers to a series of organic dyes was studied. One of the polymers was synthesized via Suzuki coupling of 1,4-phenyldiboronic acid with 1,4-dibromobenzene to obtain polyphenylene. The other polymer was a polybenzophenone generated by a nickel-mediated coupling of 2,5-dichloro-4'-methylbenzophenone. These polymers were used as the energy donors. A variety of Coumarins and other dyes were used as acceptors. Photophysical data and energy transfer parameters were determined.
