Controlling the conjugation length in poly[5-n-butyl-2-(2-ethylhexyl)-1,4-phenylenevinylene]: exploring the scope of hydrogen radical substitution of leaving groups on precursor polymers

Precursor routes to poly(arylenevinylene)s provide a powerful method for forming insoluble fully dense thin films of conjugated polymers. The photophysical and device properties of these conjugated polymer films can be altered by the introduction of satur
