Exciton Accumulation in π‐Conjugated Wires Encapsulated by Light‐Harvesting Macrocycles

Abstract

Insulated wires: Light harvesting was demonstrated from a macrocyclic “tube” to covalently bound π-conjugated polymers encapsulated within (see picture). The multichromophoric polymer core allows accumulation of excitation energy. The high intramolecular mobility of these excitations leads to a dependence of the emission dynamics on chain length.
