The spin signature of charged photoexcitations in carbazolyl substituted polydiacetylene

In this article, photoinduced infrared absorption (PIA-FTIR) and light induced electron spin resonance (LESR) measurements on an asymmetric carbazolyl substituted polydiacetylene (PDA), the poly{1-(N-carbazolyl) penta-1,3-diyn-5-ol} (polyCPDO) are presented. Results from both experimental techniques imply that contrary to other well-known polydiacetylene derivatives, in polyCPDO there exist only long-living, highly localized charged photoexcitations with spin 1/2 (g value∼2.0026), indicative for polaronic excitations. PolyCPDO also shows a strong dark ESR signal with the same g value as the LESR signal and with a Curie susceptibility of approximately 10−3 spins per CPDO monomer unit. This unusually high number of defects may come from intermediates of the polymerization. Furthermore, the photoexcited states of composites from polyCPDO mixed with a special solubilized methano-fullerene [6,6]-Phenyl C61–butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) with excellent acceptor properties are investigated and compared with th...
