Abstract

This review concerns the specific features of photo- and electroexcited processes of excitation energy deactivation in one of the most widely studied classes of organic semiconducting polymers, copolyfluorenes. Spectral-luminescent, electroluminescent, and light-generating properties of a number of copolyfluorenes are discussed, and ways to create organic electronics devices on their basis are revealed.
