Photophysics of Conducting Polymers

  • Chapter
Organic Electronic Materials

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 41))

Abstract

Conducting polymers may be described as quasi-one-dimensional semiconductors. The gaps are typically such that in undoped material the absorption edge is in the visible or near infrared. In Table 4.1 we list most of the polymers to be discussed, abbreviations for their names and their repeat units or monomers. With the exception of polydiacetylene, which is highly crystalline, a second important characteristic of the conducting polymers is disorder. Although the chains may be quite long, typically the conjugation is interrupted by defects, which may be curves or bends, foreign atoms, crosslinks, etc. An average conjugation length in poly(p-phenylene vinylene), PPV, for example, deduced from many different types of evidence, is 6 to 8 monomers. Even so, the levels are grouped into bands and in many contexts it is useful to think of the band structure in the long conjugation length limit. In other contexts it may be more useful to think of the polymer as an assembly of linear molecules of various lengths (oligomers). As will be seen, there are important differences between the optical properties of trans-polyacetylene, which has a degenerate ground state [1], and non-degenerate ground state (NDGS) polymers, which category includes almost all known conjugated polymers other than trans-polyacetylene. The optical properties of the NDGS polymers have many similarities. Because the photophysical properties of PPV have received the most attention, we will most frequently cite its properties as an example.
