G. Zerbi et al., DELOCALIZATION LENGTH AND STRUCTURE OF OLIGOPYRROLES AND OF POLYPYRROLE FROM THEIR VIBRATIONAL-SPECTRA, The Journal of chemical physics, 100(2), 1994, pp. 978-984
Oligopyrroles with increasing chain length and polypyrroles were recen
tly synthesized with new chemical methods. In this paper, we analyze t
heir infrared and Raman spectra. The spectra can be nicely interpreted
in terms of recent theoretical concepts of vibrational dynamics of po
lyconjugated systems. The spectra thus become a tool for deriving info
rmation on the structure of these materials.
