8.2. Conjugation length 8.2.1. Optical transition versus chain size emission absorption absorption emission 1/m (m=number of bonds) Cornil, J. et al. Chem. Phys. Lett. (1997), 278, 139 The “conjugation length” is the length of the oligomer emitting the same luminescence spectrum as the polymer. While the polymer may easily be 10-100 times longer than a conjugation length, the chain is effectively operating as a sequence of conjugation lengths along a common string. This description is valid for the behaviour of absorption processes; where emission is relevant, the excited state is often more localized.
8.2.1. Conformation changes • Switch between different structures by applying mechanical force while monitoring the Langmuir monolayer's optical spectra. The figure shows the chemical structures, conformations and spatial arrangements at the air–water interface of the polymer. • Compression causes a transition from the face-on to the zipper structure, which breaks the conjugation, i.e. decreases the π-conjugation length and generates a large blue shift (34-nm).

Donor: • σ-donor (electronegativity): symmetric destabilization • π-donor: asymmetric destabilization • Acceptor: • σ-acceptor : symmetric stabilization • π-acceptor : asymmetric stabilization • Note that ”-O-CH3” acts as a globally as a donor. This is the results of a competition between its π-donor and σ-acceptor characters.

Electrochromism Doubly charged Neutral Singly charged
Electrochromism in a substituted polythiophene, under electrochemical doping in contact with an electrolyte. The suppression of bandgap absorption in the polymer (with a maximum at 500 nm) due to doping is highly visible; formation of polarons is hardly visible, but the two optical transitions due to bipolarons are found, one peaking at 800 nm and another below 1200 nm.
