55. A minor difference was observed between spectra of OPEs 2 and 4, the reason for which is not completely clear so far. A tentative explanation was proposed as follows. Alkyl chains are less flexible than OEG chains and, under the back-folded conformation, this lower flexibility induced more severe steric interactions with the backbone, neighbouring phenylene units and/or side groups and caused an averagely larger dihedral angle among adjacent backbone phenylene units in 4 than in 2. This brought about the blueshifted absorption of 4.
