Charge delocalization over stacked pi-electron systems
Cation radicals of oligomers and polymers of dibenzofulvene having a pi-stacked conformation showed broad absorption bands based on charge resonance in near IR region, which red-shifted with increasing degree of polymerization, indicating that charge delocalization takes place through multiple, stacked fluorene moieties.
