摘要
Time-resolved absorption and emission spectroscopy has been applied to investigate the dynamics of excited state processes in oligomer models for semi-conducting organic materials. Following the photo-excitation of a pentamer oligomer that is a model for the conjugated polymer MEH-PPV, an ultrafast component of a few picoseconds is observed for the decay of the initially formed transient species. Variable temperature absorption and emission spectra combined with X-ray crystallography and calculations support the assignment of this rapid relaxation process to an excited state conformational rearrangement from non-planar to more planar molecular configurations. The implications of the results for the overall photophysics of conjugated polymers are considered.
