The exciton, an excited electron–hole pair bound by Coulomb attraction, plays a key role in
photophysics of organic molecules and drives practically important phenomena such as …

Since the broader awareness of the conductivity of conjugated polymers, 1r5 this class of
materials has received ever-increasing attention. Conjugated polymers are widely …

The chain shape of polymers affects many aspects of their behavior and is governed by their
intramolecular interactions. Delocalization of electrons along the backbone of conjugated …

Targeted strategies to overcome defects in organic semiconductors require insight into their
identity and origin. Here the formation, nature, and location of defects is studied in PM6: Y6 …

Soft matter covers a wide range of materials based on linear or branched polymers, gels and
rubbers, amphiphilic (macro) molecules, colloids, and self-assembled structures. These …

The molecular structure, photochemistry, and device physics of conjugated polymers have
been investigated by single-molecule spectroscopy (SMS), using the unique ability of this …

Nanoparticles primarily consisting of π-conjugated polymers have emerged as
extraordinarily bright fluorescent tags with potential applications in biological imaging and …

The poly (p-phenylene vinylene) derivative MEH-PPV is known to exist as two
morphologically distinct species, referred to as red phase and blue phase. We show here …

Hierarchical structure of conjugated polymers is critical to dominating their optoelectronic
properties and applications. Compared to nonplanar conformational segments, coplanar …

Single-crystal one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructures of [2-(p-dimethyl-aminophenyl) ethenyl]-
phenyl-methylene-propanedinitrile (DAPMP) have been prepared by a simple solution …
