K. Meerholz et al., VOLTAMMETRIC STUDIES OF SOLUTION AND SOLID-STATE PROPERTIES OF MONODISPERSE OLIGO(P-PHENYLENEVINYLENE)S, Advanced materials, 6(9), 1994, pp. 671-674
Four well-defined monodisperse oligo(p-phenylenevinylene)s (see Figure
, n = 3 to 6) have been used in solid-state voltammetric investigation
s as model compounds for the related polymer. The redox behavior in so
lution and in the solid state is compared and an interpretation of the
controversial ''current plateau'' proposed.
