Exciton Migration in Rigid-Rod Conjugated Polymers: An Improved Förster Model
Abstract
The dynamics of interchain and intrachain excitation energy transfer taking place in a polyindenofluorene endcapped with perylene derivatives is explored by means of ultrafast spectroscopy combined with correlated quantum-chemical calculations. The experimental data indicate faster exciton migration in films with respect to solution as a result of the emergence of efficient channels involving hopping between chains in close contact. These findings are supported by theoretical simulations based on an improved Forster model. Within this model, the rates are expressed according to the Fermi golden rule on the basis of (i) electronic couplings that take account of the detailed shape of the excited-state wave functions (through the use of a multicentric monopole expansion) and (ii) spectral overlap factors computed from the simulated acceptor absorption and donor emission spectra with explicit coupling to vibrations (considered within a displaced harmonic oscillator model); inhomogeneity is taken into account by assuming a distribution of chromophores with different conjugation lengths. The calculations predict faster intermolecular energy transfer as a result of larger electronic matrix elements and suggest a two-step mechanism for intrachain energy transfer with exciton hopping along the polymer backbone as the limiting step. Injecting the calculated hopping rates into a set of master equations allows the modeling of the dynamics of exciton transport along the polyindenofluorene chains and yields ensemble-averaged energy-transfer rates in good agreement with experiment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
