Intermolecular interactions in π-conjugated molecules : optical probes of chain conformation

A study of interactions between molecules of the same material was performed on a model polymer system. Regio-regular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) self-organises into two-dimensional π-stacked lamellar structures. Although the chains pack at a distance of only 3.8Å, the resonant coulomb interaction...
