  • Patent number: 10290810
    Abstract: A polymer comprising a repeat unit of formula (I): wherein R1 in each occurrence is independently H or a substituent, and the two groups R1 may be linked to form a ring; R2 in each occurrence is independently a substituent; Ar1 in each occurrence is independently an aryl or heteroaryl group that may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituents; R3 in each occurrence is independently a substituent; each n independently is 0, 1, 2 or 3 with the proviso that at least one n=1; and each m is independently 0 or 1. The polymer may be a light-emitting 103 of an organic light-emitting device.
