In this Review, the extreme care that must be taken when predicting the optical properties of
conjugated polymers via the oligomer approach, and when comparing theoretical and …

Although thiophene-based materials are among the most widely studied conjugated
materials for a number of technological applications, most discussions of emissive …

Sensing from the ultraviolet-visible to the infrared is critical for a variety of industrial and
scientific applications. Today, gallium nitride–, silicon-, and indium gallium arsenide–-based …

Molecular scale charge motion in disordered organic materials at ambient temperature
occurs via a hopping-type mechanism with rates dictated both by the charge transfer integral …

Materials design has become a vigorous aspect for organic solid‐state lasing, which often
lacks a fundamental understanding of structure–property relationships. The development of …

Solid state luminescence enhancement (SLE) of conjugated organic materials has had a
great impact in materials science, but a deep understanding has been rather limited to date …

We report herein a comparison of the photophysics of a series of polythiophenes with
ionization potentials ranging from 4.8 to 5.6 eV as pristine films and when blended with 5 …

Configuration− interaction calculations are performed to describe the singlet and triplet
excited states of oligothiophene and oligo (phenylene ethynylene) conjugated chains …

Using pulse radiolysis and triplet energy transfer has enabled us to measure the triplet
energies in a broad range of different π-conjugated polymers. In all cases we find that the 1 …

We report on the comparison of the electronic and photophysical properties of a series of
related donor–acceptor–donor oligomers incorporating the previously known 2 H-benzo …
