Abstrakt: The excess polarizability volume, ΔVp, associated with the formation of the T1states of oligothiophenes, OTn with n from 2 to 12, has been determined by measuring the change in the imaginary component of the complex microwave conductivity resulting on flash-photolysis of dilute solution. ΔVpgives a direct measure of the additional electronic delocalization associated with the halffilled HOMO and LUMO orbitals of these states. ΔVpincreases with increasing length of the oligomer chain from 5 Å3for n=2 to 59 Å3for the dodecamer. The increased delocalization in T1is discussed in terms of coupling with higher states in the triplet manifold.
