Formation of Specific Charge-transfer Complexes between Hyperbranched Polymer Viologen and Neutral Donors in Solid Films Depending on Donor Fraction
Neutral donors and hyperbranched polymer with many viologen groups formed charge-transfer complexes in Solutions and solid films. The charge-transfer absorption and fluorescence spectra showed red shifts with increasing donor fractions only in the case of polymer solid films, strongly suggesting solvato-chromism in solid films and formation of multichromophore CT complex. These are unique microenvironmental effects of the present cationic polymer.
