Abstract
The photoinduced charge separation and subsequent transport under an external electric field is studied in the family of poly[bipyridine/(p- phenylene- vinylene)n] derivatives having n = 0, 1, and 3, respectively, p- phenylene- vinylene subunits separating the bipyridylene vinylene skeleton. Steady- state photocurrent of the polymers is studied in sandwich and surface configurations and correlated with transient photocurrent measurements. The results reveal the facile electric- field- induced separation of the electron- hole pair for n = 1 samples relative to n = 3 samples. We also estimate the energy barriers involved in the process of carrier generation and transport in these systems.
