Research Abstract |
Optical and photophysical properties of conjugated polymers and related systems were studied on single-molecule level in relation to their conformation and structural properties. For conjugated polymers the study revealed the relationship between conformation and exciton localization and dissociation, confirmed the existence and size of light-emitting domains in polymer chains, and found the connection between conformational dynamics and related photophysics. For non-conjugated polymers it was found that topology of individual chains is a determining factor for their diffusion properties. For single light-harvesting systems of photosynthetic bacteria the study revealed their excitonic properties and the role of structural disorder.
