Abstract

We report on the nature of emitting states in two different quaterthiophenes: the unsubstituted quaterthiophenes (T4) and a bridged T4 (T4B), where the bridging have been realized by introducing a second bond between the two central thiophene rings. The effect of the chemical bridging on the photophysics of these compounds have been studied via photoluminescence measurements under hydrostatic pressure, which permit to clarify the influence of interchain coupling, conformational effects and intrachain structural changes on the optical properties.
