  • Title: Self-assembly and molecular dynamics of oligoindenofluorenes.
    Author: Elmahdy MM, Floudas G, Oldridge L, Grimsdale AC, Müllen K.
    Journal: Chemphyschem; 2006 Jul 17; 7(7):1431-41. PubMed ID: 16755638.
    Abstract:
    The optical properties, self-assembly mechanism, thermal properties, and the associated molecular dynamics of a series of stable blue-emitting oligoindenofluorenes up to the polymer were investigated by photoluminescence, wide-angle X-ray scattering, polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and dielectric spectroscopy. Oligomers of indenofluorenes possess high structural order and form smectic mesophases, as opposed to the nematic mesophases formed in the corresponding oligofluorenes. The alpha process associated with the liquid-to-glass transition displays an asymmetric broadening of relaxation times (non-Debye process), with a non-Arrhenius temperature dependence of relaxation times and a strong molecular weight dependence. The low dielectric loss and low ionic conductivity revealed the absence of ketone structural defects, which is consistent with the observed stable blue emission.
