Synthesis and characterization of conjugated diblock copolymers.
This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of a new class of diblock copolymers (co-oligomers), rod-rod conjugated diblock copolymers. A general synthetic strategy is outlined, and the structures of the copolymers (oligothiophene-co-oligophenylenevinylene) are fully characterized. It was found that these copolymers exhibit efficient intramolecular energy transfer. An interesting self-assembly ability of these rod--rod copolymers was also revealed.
