Abstract

The delayed fluorescence of poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) and poly(p-phenylene ethynylene) (PPE) derivative solids and frozen solutions at 20 K is described. It provides strong evidence for triplet-triplet annihilation to singlets excitons accounting for up to ∼3% of the total emission in PPV films and ∼1.5% in PPE powder. It also yields triplet lifetimes of 70 and 110 μs in PPV films and frozen solutions, and ∼200 and ∼500 μs in PPE powder and frozen solutions, respectively.
