Dissolution of an organometallic
conjugated polymer in styrene, shown under
illumination with UV-light.
The dissolution of the
originally cross-linked photoluminescent polymer
demonstrates the reversibility of the ligand-exchange
reaction that was employed to create the
metallic cross-links between conjugated
macromolecules.
Such cross-links significantly
improve the charge transport characteristics of
these semiconducting materials.
