20. Preparation of FPONs: All suspensions of FPONs were prepared by the reprecipitation method from THF solution with distilled water. Volume fractions of THF and water were adjusted to 20 and 80%, respectively. See ref. [19] for details.
21. F values in 200 ± 50 and 275 ± 75 nm FPONs of 1a results from the highly increased virtual absorbance values by increased light scattering. In fact, the extent of the apparent absorbance of the FPONs of 1a at the excitation wavelength, that is at 360 nm, was almost linearly proportional to their suspension concentrations in spite of the inverse proportional relationship between the mean radius and the surface-to-volume ratio of the FPONs.

27. 3 solution, 22°C, 300 MHz) on the 1a form showed that the parallel and antiparallel conformations were equally populated in solution, as evident by there only being two singlet resonances at δ = 1.98 and 1.91 ppm without any splitting. These signals were assigned as the methyl protons at the 2-positions of the thiophene rings of the 1a form (see ref. [27]). The conversion rate of about 35 % in the PSS was calculated by the integrated ratio between the singlet peaks of methyl protons in the 1a form and those in the 1b form, which newly appeared at δ = 2.15 and 2.11 ppm.
