Polymer Glass Transitions Switch Electron Transfer in Individual Molecules
Essentially complete photoinduced electron transfer quenching of the fluorescence of a perylene-calixarene Compound occurs in poly(methyl acrylate) and poly(vinyl acetate) above their glass transition temperatures (T-g), but the fluorescence is completely recovered upon cooling the polymer matrix to a few degrees below the T-g. The switching can be observed in an on/off fashion at the level of individual molecules.
