Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Although the precise control of dye-dye interactions is known to be of fundamental importance to achieve desired functional properties in π-conjugated materials, there are only sporadic examples where precise structural control of dye-dye interactions could be achieved by the attachment of the chromophores to an oligomeric or polymeric backbone. In this edge article, we introduce an oligophenylene ethynylene/perylene bisimide (PBI) dye system which is conceived by the foldamer concept. The molecular design enables folding of the π-conjugated oligomer to give a geometrically well-defined π-stack of intrastrand PBI molecules. The synthesis of the foldamer and its characterization by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry are described, and the average size is estimated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and diffusion ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY). The folding dynamics are demonstrated by ultraviolet/visible absorption and fluorescence emission spectroscopic studies as the folded and unfolded states possess distinct optical properties. Quantum dynamic considerations revealed a good agreement of the calculated aggregate absorption spectrum with those obtained experimentally. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.
