Abstract
We show that a π -conjugated polymer chain can demonstrate
weak intermolecular charge transfer in the electronic ground state.
Poly[2-methoxy-5-(2`-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene
vinylene]/2,4,7-trinitrofluorenone (MEH-PPV/TNF) donor-acceptor films have
been studied by optical absorption, Raman, infrared spectroscopy, and
differential scanning calorimetry. The factors influencing weak
intermolecular charge transfer in π -conjugated chains are discussed.
