TL;DR: In this article, a chiroptical liquid crystalline substituent with fluorine-containing asymmetric moiety was introduced into the 3 position of thiophene ring.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of the spectra between pristine and 13C-enriched undoped cis-rich (CH)X down to 4K was performed and it was shown that the intrinsic spin density of the soliton, confirmed by the previous endor analysis in pristine system, is not observable in the latter system because of the line shape distortion due to the overlapping of those structurs due to nuclear frequencies.

TL;DR: In this article, the dopant structure in FeCl3-doped polyacetylene was studied from the analysis of Fe K-edge EXAFS and XANES, measured by use of synchroton radiation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Raman and absorption spectra of β-carotene doped with iodine and sulfur trioxide were studied, and it was shown that the doping gave significant effects on the spectra which were interpreted as arising from the transfer of an electron from a local site in β-Carotene to a dopant and the resultant shortening of the length of double-bond conjugation.

TL;DR: In this article, an aligned liquid crystalline aromatic conjugated polymers were aligned by heating the substrates and then gradually cooled to LC temperature under an external magnetic field, and the polarized photoluminescence (PL) peak of perpendicular direction to the magnetic field is 30 % more intensive than that of the parallel direction.
