Two soluble conjugated polyfluorenes, poly {9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diyl-co-4,4 0 -bis[2-(4-phenyl)-2-cyanovinyl]triphenylamine}(PF-BCT) and poly{9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diyl-co-3,6-bis[2-(4-phenyl)-2-cyanovinyl]-9-octyl carbazole}(PF-BCC), have been synthesized from 2,7-dibromo-9,9-dioctylfluorene and 4,4 0 -bis[2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-cyanovinyl]triphenylamine or 3,6-bis[2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-cyanovinyl]-9-octyl carbazole comonomers through a Suzuki polymerization reaction. The copolymers are characterized by gel permeation chromatography, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis. The polymers have good thermal stability with 5 wt % loss temperatures of more than 380 C. Cyclic voltammetry measurements show that the polymers present good electron and hole-injection abilities. PF-BCC possesses higher oxidization potential than that of PF-BCT, which indicates that PF-BCT has better hole injection ability. The photophysical properties of the polymers are investi-
