Abstract
The correlation between the optical and morphological
properties of an anthracene-containing poly(phenylene ethynylene)-alt-
(phenylenevinylene) statistical copolymer (AnE-PVstat) in solution has been
investigated. As a function of temperature, the molecular aggregation in
chloroform/chlorobenzene (CF:CB) solution was examined by means of
absorbance and photoluminescence measurements. The study of the evolution
of the 0−0 to the 0−1 photoluminescence (PL) ratio with temperature in the
framework of the HJ-aggregate model unveiled the presence of both H- and Jlike
behaviors at room temperature. Upon increasing temperature, the
interchain intermolecular coupling decreases, leading to a dissociation of Haggregates.
Hence, molecular torsions are facilitated, polymer planarity is
reduced, and the intrachain electronic coupling decreases.
