27. We define the efficiency of energy transfer as a measure of the probability that an exciton formed on the PPE backbone is transmitted to the anthracenyl end group. It was estimated by comparing the emission spectrum of 1 to that of phenyl end-capped model polymer 5 at constant absorbance at the 370 nm excitation wavelength (see Supporting Information for more details).

29. It was recently demonstrated that the iptycene-incorporating conjugated polymers, if used as dopants, are capable of increasing the order parameter of nematic LCs due to the same "internal free volume" minimization effect (Araoka, F.; Shin, K.-C.; Takanishi, Y.; Ishikawa, K.; Takezoe, H.; Zhu, Z.; Swager, T.

41. Because of the much larger size of the polymer backbone compared to the size of the terminating group, the rate of (collisional) quenching of an exciton in the backbone is expected to be much higher. This may result in nonproportional quenching of the emission, with the backbone emission displaying greater quenching.
42. 2 for a one-dimensional array to l/c for a three-dimensional network, where c is the concentration of randomly distributed traps. We believe this statistical reasoning to be critical if not dominant in the enhancement of exciton migration efficiency in the three-dimensional network.
