Photophysical Studies of Pi-conjugated Oligomers and Polymers That Incorporate Inorganic MLCT Chromophores

Abstract:
The photophysics and photochemistry of several molecular series incorporating inorganic MLCT chromophores within pi-conjugated oligomers and polymers is presented, including photothermal measurements to determine nonradiative decay rates.
