D. Comoretto et al., PHOTOINDUCED ABSORPTION-SPECTRA OF POLY[1,6-DI(N-CARBAZOLYL)-2,4-HEXADIYNE] (POLYDCHD) BY EXCITATION ON THE CARBAZOLE GROUP, Synthetic metals, 94(2), 1998, pp. 229-234
We report photoinduced absorption measurements in the millisecond time
domain of poly[ 1,6-di(N-carbazolyl)-2,4-hexadiyne] (poly-DCHD) obtai
ned by pumping on the side group. We show that the photoexcited states
are similar to those detected by pumping on the absorption band of th
e conjugated backbone. This fact can be explained in terms of fast mig
ration of the excitation energy from the side group to the conjugated
chain. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
