The electronic excited states of molecular aggregates and their photophysical signatures
have long fascinated spectroscopists and theoreticians alike since the advent of Frenkel …

Conjugated molecules with a saturated alkyl linker between a thiol docking group and the π-
conjugated core have been shown to form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with a high …

Low-energy vibrational modes have been investigated in polycrystalline biphenyl, para-
terphenyl, para-quaterphenyl and para-sexiphenyl using THz time-domain spectroscopy …

This review describes essential optical and emerging structural experiments that use high
GPa range hydrostatic pressure to probe physical phenomena in blue-emitting organic …

The β phase in di-octyl substituted polyfluorene (PF8) exhibits a surprising level of
conformational order at nanometer length scales compared to other phases. We present …

The structural properties of polyfluorenes (PF) are extremely sensitive to the choice of
functionalizing side chains. Dioctyl substituted PF (PF8) adopts metastable structures that …

The impact of exciton-vibrational coupling involving fast and slow vibrational modes on
absorption and emission in molecular H-aggregates is investigated using a multimode …

Variations in the crystalline structures of polyimides (PIs) were analyzed under high
pressures up to 8 GPa using wide-angle X-ray diffraction. The compressibilities along the …

We present a spectroscopic and theoretical investigation of the effect of the presence and
position of hexyl side-chains in the novel low-bandgap alternating donor–acceptor …

Raman spectra of benzene, naphthalene and biphenyl have been taken up to a pressure of
13GPa. The results for benzene and naphthalene indicate that the perturbation of inter …
