Understanding factors responsible for the fluorescence behavior of conjugated polyelectrolytes and modulation of their behavior are important for their application as functional materials. The interaction between the anionic poly1,4-phenylene-[9,9-bis(4-phenoxy-butylsulfonate)]fluorene-2,7-diylcopolymer (PBS−PFP) and cationic gemini surfactants α,ω-(CmH2m+1N+(CH3)2)2(CH2)s(Br-)2 (m-s-m; m = 12, s = 2, 3, 5, 6, ...
We report on the solubilization, phase behavior, and self-organized colloidal structure of a ternary water−polyfluorene−surfactant (amphiphile) system comprised of polyelectrolytic poly1,4-phenylene[9,9-bis(4-phenoxybutylsulfonate)]fluorene-2,7-diyl (PBS−PFP) in nonionic pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E5) at 20 °C. We show in particular how a high amount (milligrams per milliliter) of polyfluorene c...
The luminescence decay kinetics of polyfluorene copolymers containing fluorenone units randomly distributed along the polymer chain have been studied by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence techniques in toluene solution. The typical green emission from polyfluorenes containing 9-fluorenone moieties is only observed if the 9-fluorenone group is covalently attached to the polymer. Small-angle neutron scat...
In this paper, the interaction between the water-soluble conjugated polyelectrolyte poly1,4-phenylene[9,9-bis(4-phenoxybutylsulfonate)]fluorene-2,7-diyl copolymer and the amino acid glyceride conjugate 1-O-(l-arginyl)-2,3-O-dilauroyl-sn-glycerol dichlorohydrate (a mimic for the phospholipid lecithin) has been studied in aqueous solution by electronic spectroscopy (absorption and fluorescence) and small-angle ne...
Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) adopts a particular type of conformation in dilute solutions of the poor solvent methylcyclohexane (MCH) below 273 K, which is revealed by the appearance of a red-shifted absorption peak at 437−438 nm. The formation of this ordered conformation depends on the temperature but is independent of polymer concentration over the range studied (3−25 μg/mL). On the basis of absorption, s...

The lowest triplet state of tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminium(III) (Alq3) has been prepared by pulse radiolysis/energy transfer from appropriate donors in benzene solutions and has an absorption maximum around 510 nm with a lifetime of about 50 μs. It is quenched by molecular oxygen, leading to singlet oxygen formation. From flash photolysis and singlet oxygen formation measurements, a quantum yield of triplet ...
