Diazobenzene-containing conjugated polymers as dark quenchers

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Dec 18;49(97):11379-81. doi: 10.1039/c3cc46711b.

Abstract

The synthesis and photophysical characterization of new conjugated polymers (CPs) with alternating phenylethynylene and diazobenzene (azo-PPE) units were reported, which showed broadened absorption and no measurable fluorescence. Quenching studies showed that azo-PPEs displayed high efficiency over a wide wavelength range.
