Abstract

A facile strategy affording an intimate nanocomplex of an amine-containing rod-coil triblock copolymer poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethylmethacrylate)-poly(fluorene)-poly(2-(dimethyl amino) ethylmethacrylate) and CdSe nanocrystals is presented. Ligand exchange is observed by (31)P NMR. TEM and UV-vis absorption results indicate the CdSe NCs have a good dispersion in the conjugated polymer. Also, the PL spectra show photoinduced charge transfer has been facilitated by the complex formation.
