title: Synthesis of anthracene-stacked oligomers and polymer.
abstract: Anthracene-stacked oligomers and a polymer were synthesized using a xanthene skeleton as the scaffold, and their structures and properties were fully characterized. Intramolecular pi-pi stacking of the anthracene rings in the ground state and excited state was observed.
