Abstract
Photoluminescence of polysilanes with aromatic side groups has been found to be strongly quenched upon C60 doping, in contrast to the case of polysilanes with saturated hydrocarbon side groups in which a clear quenching effect has not been observed. These results have been interpreted by considering the role of the aromatic side group as a mediator for photoinduced electron transfer from electronic states of the main chain polysilanes to the C60 molecule.
