Abstract

Abstract: Invited for this month's cover are the three collaborating groups from the University of Stuttgart and the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research in Potsdam, both from Germany as well as the University of Windsor, Canada. The cover picture shows the shift of frontier orbital energies and symmetries upon excitation with light for three different chromophore lengths.
