Poly(2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethylhexyloxy)-p-phenylenevinylene) (MEH-PPV) has been prepared by a liquid/solid two-phase reaction. The liquid phase is THF containing 1 ,4-bis(chloromethyl)-2-methoxyl-5-(2′-ethylhexyloxy) benzene as the monomer and a certain amount of tetrabutylanunmmonium bromide (TBAB) as phase transfer catalyst (PTC). The solid phase is potassium hydroxide particles with diameters <0.5 mm. Gelation was found in the polymerization processes. MEH-PPV is partially soluble because of its large molar mass. Soluble MEH-PPV was obtained by using bromomethylbenzene as retardant reagent. The molar mass of soluble MEH-PPV was measured to be 6.4 × 104 g/mol. The Structure of polymer was identified by IR, Raman, UV/vis and PL spectra. A thin compact film of MEH-PPV can be formed by spin-coating and it emit a yellow light.
