The emission properties of styrene oligomers from dimer to tridecamer have been investigated by picosecond pulse radiolysis at room temperature. The oligomers are precisely fractionated and are considered to be models of atactic polystyrene. The rate constant for excimer formation kDM of the order of 108 s−1, increases with increasing number of monomer units n for 2≤n≤8, then levels off at the value for polystyrene. The rate constant for singlet energy migration between adjacent chromophores in polystyrene was determined to be 3×1010 s−1 (∼30 ps). An average time of 7.2 ns was found to be necessary for two adjacent chromophores to assume the excimer conformation (g−t or tg− in a racemo dyad; tt in a meso dyad) from their initial equilibrium distribution of conformations. The present result is an indication that one may investigate the dynamics of internal rotation by photophysical techniques. Moreover, from a comparison of the results of photostationary measurements with those of transient methods, it is ...
