Structural and Photophysical Templating of Conjugated Polyelectrolytes with Single-Stranded DNA

Ursula Röthlisberger, Polydefkis Diamantis, Natalie Renuka Banerji

A promising approach to influence and control the photophysical properties of conjugated polymers is directing their molecular conformation by templating. We explore here the templating effect of single-stranded DNA oligomers (ssDNAs) on cationic polythiop ...
