Abstract: Soluble poly(bis-9,9′-fluorenes) comprise identical or different structural repeating units of the formula I, where the two R1s are, independently of one another, H, C1-C18alkyl, C8-C14aryl, C7-C15aralkyl, C1-C18alkoxy, R2—(O—CnH2n)m—O—, C1-C18alkylthio, C1-C18dialkylamino, —C(O)OH, —C(O)O—C1-C18alkyl, —C(O)—N(C1-C18alkyl)2, —SO3H, —SO3—C1-C18alkyl, —SO2—N(C1-C18alkyl)2, C1-C17-alkyl-C(O)—O— or C1-C17alkyl-C(O)—, R2 is H or C1-C12alkyl, n is from 2 to 6 m is from 1 to 12. The polymers can be used either alone or in admixture with at least one additional fluorophore whose absorption band overlaps the emission band (fluorescent emission) of the polymer of the formula I as active radiative layer for light-emitting diodes, VDUs and display elements.
