Abstract

This paper reports detailed synthesis and characterization of a hybridized polymer system which combines the ionic transition metal complexes and a conjugated polymer backbone bearing NLO chromophores to manifest a large photorefractive (PR) effect. In this system, the conjugated polymer backbone was chosen to play the dual role of a transporting channel for the charge carriers and a macroligand to chelate with the transition metal ...
