Abstract
We report measurements of photoluminescence efficiency and time depend ence in a high-electron-affinity cyano-substituted derivative of poly( p-phenylenevinylene). We find that the luminescence is much longer liv ed in solid films than in solutions and interpret this result as emiss ion in the film being from an interchain excitation. These results sug gest that intermolecular interactions are an important consideration i n the design of highly luminescent conjugated polymers.
