The ferrocene compounds underwent three stepwise one-electron oxidations to form the (3+) radical cations that further electrochemically polymerized on a Pt or an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode surface. The polymeric layers showed extremely good hole-injection properties. The polymeric light emitting devices (PLEDs) of ITO/ED-1,1′-[Ph<sub>2</sub>N(C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>OXD]<sub>2</sub>Fc/PVK:Ir(PPy)<sub>3</sub>:PBD/Mg-Ag showed a turn-on voltage (at 100 cd/m<sup>2</sup>) of 11 V, with a maximum brightness of 27 700 cd/m<sup>2</sup>. The turn-on voltage was 1.5 V lower than that of the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)poly(styrenesulfonate) based PLED and 2 V lower than the corresponding electrochemically deposited poly(4-(<i>N,N</i>-diphenylamino)styrene) based PLED.
