We study the influence of the physical and chemical structure on the chiroptical response of fluorene-based polymeric systems, namely poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) and the donor-acceptor type copolymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene--benzothiadiazole) (F8BT). We reveal the significance of electric-magnetic coupling, at both short (molecular-level) and intermediate (delocalised over multiple polymer chains) length scales, on the magnitude of the dissymmetry. These findings provide a framework for the design of new materials with an enhanced chiroptical response.
我们研究了物理和化学结构对芴基聚合物体系(即聚(9,9-二辛基芴)(PFO)和供体-受体型共聚物聚(9,9-二辛基芴-苯并噻二唑)(F8BT))的手性光学响应的影响。我们揭示了在短(分子水平)和中(在多个聚合物链上离域)长度尺度上,电磁耦合对不对称度大小的重要性。这些发现为设计具有增强手性光学响应的新材料提供了一个框架。
