Conjugated polymers and oligomers are of interest for a broad range of applications including solar cells, chemical sensors, molecular electronics and catalysis. Many of these applications are dependent on the photophysical properties of the materials, including absorption and emission properties, excited state charge separation and photochemistry. Hybrid conjugated materials in which conjugated polymers and oligomers are combined with metal-complexes can give rise to enhanced photofunctional properties.The role of inter- and intramolecular self-assembly in determining the properties of these metal-containing conjugated materials will be discussed.
