Samenvatting
The relaxation dynamics of soluble polyalkylthiophenes obtained by the random copolymerisation of 3,4-dibutylthiophene and 3-butylthiophene monomers is investigated. In these systems, the effective conjugation length, the optical gap and the non-radiative decay rate are controlled by varying the content of disubstituted monomers, the steric hindrance of which induces a twisting angle between thiophene rings. Several indications are reported in favour of spectral diffusion of the photoexcitations. Migration processes mainly occur within a few tens of picoseconds.
