Abstract

Photon pressure has been used to induce the aggregation from solution of a series of photoluminescent conjugated polyelectrolytes containing tetraphenylethene units. These polymers show steady-state and time-resolved emission properties that are dependent on the local chromophore environment that can be influenced by the degree of intra- and inter-molecular interactions, which enables the photoaggregation process to be monitored by time-resolved fluorescence imaging techniques. Structural differences in the polymer lead to variations in the photo-induced aggregation behaviour.
