Formation and manipulation of supramolecular structures of oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) terminated poly(propylene imine) dendrimers.
A third generation poly(propylene imine) dendrimer modified with pi-conjugated oligo(p-phenylenevinylene)s forms spherical and rod-like aggregates that can be manipulated by optical tweezers.
