Abstract

We report on the magnetic field effect (MFE) on the photoluminescence in films of a highly fluorescent conjugated laddertype poly(paraphenylene) (LPPP). We observe no MFE for the pure material, however, the introduction of a very small content of chemical defects via photo-oxidation leads to a MFE proportional to the amount of defects. The chemically induced increase in MFE is correlated with a change in other properties of the LPPP films, such as photoluminescence emission and excitation spectra, transient photoluminescence and infrared spectra.
