C. Lapersonnemeyer et al., POLYDIACETYLENE CHAINS DILUTED IN THEIR SINGLE-CRYSTAL MONOMER MATRIX- TOWARDS THE ISOLATED CONJUGATED CHAIN, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 256, 1994, pp. 423-430
Absorption, fluorescence and resonant Raman spectra at 2 or 5 K of pol
ydiacetylene poly4BCMU chains diluted in their single crystal monomer
matrix are studied, and discussed in terms of the single conjugated po
lymer chain electronic properties. Two new electronic transitions are
observed below the intense exciton one. Absorption lines are very narr
ow (less than or similar to 30 cm(-1) hwhm). Fluorescence is dominated
by emission from the intense exciton state and its origin coincides w
ith that of the absorption. Emission from the two other levels is also
detected.
