Molecular weight dependence of emission intensity and emitting sites distribution within single conjugated polymer molecules
Literature Information

We investigated exciton migration, trapping and emission processes occurring within a single conjugated polymer molecule by means of superresolution fluorescence localization microscopy. This methodology allowed us to locate the spatial distribution of emitting sites within single chains with nanometre precision. The study was done on individual poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) molecules with average molecular weights ranging from 215 000 to 1 440 000 and with narrow weight distributions. We found that the mean emission intensity increases proportionally to the polymer molecular weight. The localization experiments suggest that the emitting sites are distributed nearly uniformly within a single chain and that the sites are on average 10 nm apart, irrespective of the molecular weight of the polymer. Furthermore, spatial contours formed by all the combined emitting sites within one chain show elongated shapes, in agreement with a rod-like structure of MEH-PPV in a collapsed state.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
