Self-encapsulation or picket-fence? An answer to molecular designs of highly solid-state luminescent conjugated polymers†
Abstract
Both self-encapsulation and picket-fence molecular designs are individually applied to three types of phenylene-based conjugated polymers for reducing the interchain interactions and enhancing the solid-state luminescence. We discovered that all the picket-fence polymers show higher photoluminescence quantum yields in solid films than the corresponding self-encapsulated analogues despite their less bulky substituents.
