Abstract
AbstractEffects of tacticity and steric hindrance on excimer formation were investigated in isotactic and atactic polystyrene, poly(o‐methylstyrene), poly(m‐methylstyrene), and poly(p‐methylstyrene) in the presence and absence of a quencher (CCl4). The calculated rate constants for excimer formation in the isotactic polymers except for poly(o‐methylstyrene) were almost the same and larger than those in the corresponding atactic polymers. These results indicate that excimer formation was due to not only rotational sampling but also energy migration to trapping sites. It was found that steric hindrance on excimer formation was intimately related to the excition diffusion length in the polymer chain.
