Poly[N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)-L-phenylalanine] (PN9FPA) films with good fluorescence properties and good solubility were prepared electrochemically by direct anodic oxidation of N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)-L-phenylalanine (N9FPA) in boron trifluoride diethyletherate (BFEE). The structures of the monomer and the polymers were characterized and evaluated with IR. The fluorescence spectra indicated that PN9FPA films were blue-light emitters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
