The electronic coupling in conjugated polymers, which impacts the spectroscopic behavior tremendously, can be explained in the theoretical framework of H- and J-aggregation between neighboring chromophoric units. We investigate custom-synthesized model polymers and oligomers and show how the distance between chains impacts the coupling type [1]. Based on the work on single polymer aggregates, we intramolecularize aggregation by designing single dimers and trimers with a fixed spatial distance of the conjugated units. Here, we are also able to demonstrate, in combination with molecular dynamics and TDDFT calculations, that strong H-type coupling occurs in ordered oligomers at close spacings, whereas disorder and increased spacing quenches coupling [2]. Further, the examination of single-molecule spectra allows us to show how an increase in the dimer length with similar chromophore distance gives rise to increased J-type attributes such as spectral narrowing and reduced vibronic coupling.
