Twenty-one n-alkoxy substituted phenylenevinylene oligomers were synth
esized, varying in size, number and position of the OR groups. IR,MS a
nd solubility data are presented. NMR measurements provided the molecu
lar structure as well as information about conformations and molecular
dynamics. UV and of cyclic voltammetric data give correlations of che
mical structure (number and position of OR substituents) with separate
HOMO and LUMO energies. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
