33. High molecular weights for light-emitting polymers can be achieved with a Suzuki polycondensation. For example, see: Yan, H.; Lee, P.; Armstrong, N. R.; Graham, A.; Evmenenko, G. A.; Dutta, P.; Marks, T. J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 3172-3183. However, this is an exception rather than the norm.
34. Hyperbranched, light-emitting polymers can be formed with very high molecular weights. For example, see: Sun, M.; Li, J.; Li, B.; Fu, Y.; Bo, Z. Macromolecules 2005, 38, 2651-2658.
35. Higher molecular weights can often be obtained with a Yamamoto, coupling polymerization. For example, see: Yang, C.; Scheiber, H.; List, E. J. W.; Jacob, J.; Müllen, K. Macromolecules 2006, 39, 5213-5221.

51. 52 However, these measurements were performed in cyclohexane. Chloroform has a pronounced 35% quenching effect on the fluorescence of terphenyl: Cohen, S. G.; Weinreb, A. Phys. Rev. 1954, 93, 1117. The quantum yields for these standards in chloroform were obtained by measuring the fluorescence and UVabsorbance in both solvents and correcting for refractive index, as described in ref 68.
