The UV absorption and the PL properties of two compounds have been observed. The absorption and the PL spectra of two compounds in CHCl3 solvent are shown in Figure 3. The wavelengths of the maximum absorption, the onset absorption, and the wavelengths of the maximum PL of each compound were summarised in Table 2. Although two compounds have different lengths of the flexible end group, both compounds exhibited the same absorption spectra with the maximum absorption at 345 nm and the onset absorption at 380 nm since they have the same rigid core groups. The optical band gap (Egopt) was determined by measuring the onset value of the absorption spectrum, and was calculated to be 3.26 eV using the Planck relation. The PL external quantum efficiency of compound 2 was a little greater than that of compound 1 without thermal treatment.
