Abstract
We discuss the results of correlated quantum-chemical calculations aimed at addressing the way intermolecular interactions influence the absorption an d emission properties of conjugated chains. The nature of the lowest excite d states in molecular aggregates is discussed and a special emphasis is giv en to the effect of chain length and relative positions of the interacting units on the calculated properties. Strategies are suggested that could sig nificantly reduce luminescence quenching in light-emitting devices. (C) 200 0 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
