Abstract | In an contribution to an article in the same issue, the advantages of the rotaxane approach (precise mol. insulation technique) in the design of polymer light-emitting devices are highlighted. Semiconducting polymers are threaded through cyclodextrins and are capable of both emitting light and transporting charge. [on SciFinder(R)] |
