title: Dye-terminated, hyperbranched polytruxenes and polytruxene-block-polythiophene multiblock copolymers made in an "AB2 + A" approach.
abstract: Novel dye-terminated, hyperbranched polytruxenes and polytruxene-block-polythiophene multiblock copolymers have been synthesized in a simple "AB(2)  + A" approach. Photoexcitation into the higher energy polytruxene absorption band results in an efficient excitation energy transfer to the peripheral dye or polythiophene blocks.
