Three conjugated copolymers containing different length of oligo (p-phenylene ethynylene ) moieties (OPE) connecting at the bay position of N, N'-dioctylperylene-3,4:9, 10-tetracarboxylie acid bisimide were designed and synthesized. The three OPE monomers were prepared according to a stepwise synthesis method. This method involves two sets of reaction conditions:desilylation and Pd/Cu-catalyzed coupling. In every two steps,2,5- dihexyloxy-4-[ (trimethylsilyl)ethynyl ] iodobenzene was coupled with the diethynyl compounds which were desilylated from the di( trimethylsilyl)-ethynyl compounds. Through this approach, undesired oligomerization was avoided and OPE monomer, trimer, pentamer were readily prepared in high purity. The hromination of perylene bisanhydride was carried out under reaction condition with a more than two-fold of bromine in 98 % sulfuric acid. After imidization by n-octylamine with acetic acid as catalyst in NMP, the resultant compound was soluble in dichloromethane, which facilitated its purification. The coupling polymerization was performed by a standard Sonagashira reaction between the acetylene-terminated OPE monomers and perylene monomer, leading to the final three alternative copolymers (P1, P2, P3) .After polymerization reaction has been finished, all polymers dissolved in chloroform and then reprecipitated in methanol for three times, followed by Soxhlet extraction with acetone for 48 h to remove residual catalyst and monomers. The structures of the three polymers were characterized by IR, Elementary analysis and GPC. P1 has limited solubility in common solvents such as THF, diehloromethane, toluene, etc, due to the high rigidity of the backbone as well as the high content of perylene. But the solubility of P2 and P3 was improved dramatically. The photophysical characteristics of the polymers were investigated by UV-Vis and PL spectra in solution. In UV-Vis, the absorptions of perylene in polymers show a large red-shift (nearly 170 nm) compared to that of the
