Supramolecular orientation of conjugated porphyrin oligomers in stretched polymers

Abstract

Conjugated porphyrin oligomers show strong optical dichroism when oriented in a stretched polymer matrix. It is shown that the zinc porphyrin polymer (∼10 repeat units) aligns, as expected, with its backbone in the stretch direction, whereas the dimer orients with its molecular plane perpendicular to the stretch. This anomalous behavior is explained as being due to the formation of supramolecular stacks that orient as single units.

25. In this paper the molecular axes are defined relative to the porphyrin structure. This simplifies comparison of1 2and3 but is unconventional (usually axes are defined such thatKz>Ky>Kx).
