13. As a result of the occurrence of multiple bands in the UV-vis absorption spectrum, the π-π* transition is not as distinct as usually found for (substituted) PPV derivatives. However, the occurrence of multiple bands in extended PPV-type conjugated systems is not uncommon. See for example: Behnisch, B.; Martinez-Ruiz, P.; Schweikart, K.; Hanack, M. Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2000, 2541.

16. The photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectrum of precursor polymer 5 has a maximum at λ = 360 nm (for emission at λ = 475 nm). The photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectrum of PFV has a maximum at λ = 440 nm (for emission at λ = 540 nm).

20. It should be noted that for the conversion to eV all electrochemical potentials have been referenced to a known standard, ferrocene/ferrocinium, which is estimated to have an oxidation potential of -4.98 V vs vacuum.

22. We have measured thin films of unsubstituted PPV with the same electrochemical measurement setup and reference system as employed for PFV. In this way a LUMO energy level of -3.11 eV has been found for PPV, which is virtually identical to the LUMO of PFV (-3.10 eV). Furthermore, we estimate that the electrochemical band gap of PPV is 2.47 eV.
