Abstract
The microstructure of PPV is very efficiently modified by partial oxid ation of the sulfinyl precursor polymer towards PPV. Controlled oxidat ion leads to a copolymer with sulfinyl and sulfonyl groups. The sulfin yl groups can be eliminated selectively yielding PPV with restricted c onjugation lengths. The optical properties of the obtained conjugated polymers change linearly with the amount in introduced sp(3) defects w hile the efficiencies of photoluminescence rise also linearly and cons iderably.
