Abstract:Linear and non-linear optical properties of conjugated polymers are often masked by the inter-chain network in solid state. The formation of aggregates may trap excitons, reduce oscillator strength and modify relaxation processes. The control of the inter-chain interaction is the main reason for developing "threaded" polymers, where supra-molecular encapsulation should reduce aggregation. Here, we investigate the influence of the encapsulation with βcyclodextrin (β-CD) macrocycles on the photophysics of the po… Show more
