On preparing this manuscript, we became aware that the crystal structure of a trimer prepared by a method different from vinyl polymerization and preliminary electrochemical profiles of oligomers in a limited, short chain-length range (n = 2-4) were very recently published as a communication by an independent group: Rathore.

39. In the structure of 1, n - 1 instead of n has been used to describe the number of monomeric units incorporated into the chain through polymerization (degree of polymerization) so that n corresponds to the number of fluorene units in a chain. This is because the number of fluorene units in a chain is more important in discussing the formation of the π-stacked conformation of 1 than the degree of polymerization. For 2-5, the number of fluorene units corresponds to the degree of polymerization.

60. "Excimer" emission could be an alternative term. However, "excimer" has been used to describe an excited species having stacked π-electron systems that does not have such a conformation as a predominant species in the ground state but changes conformation on excitation. The oligomers in this study have stacked structures in the ground state prior to photoexcitation; therefore, "dimer" emission is a more proper term.
