15. Samples were prepared under degassed conditions. The time-resolved fluorescence experiments were performed under degassed conditions (using a circulating system) and repeated in a fast-rotating sample cell, which ensures that each laser shot (1-ms intervals) illuminates a fresh sample volume. The results were the same, showing that the presence of oxygen during the experiment does not cause changes in the polymer structure or the excitation dynamics. In addition, we checked for photodegradation by comparing sample absorption and emission as measured before and after the experiments.

31. Direct excitation of the dye probes both free dye molecules in solution and those in the complex. Anisotropy decay to r ≈ 0 indicates that most dye molecules are free in solution. The contribution to the anisotropy from complexed dye molecules is just too small to be detected.

36. In our previous report, the SV (ref 1) plots for quenching of PPESO3 by HMIDC were slightly superlinear. The difference observed here is because the ultrafast experiments were performed at higher polymer concentrations.
