The solvatochromic behavior of chloroform solutions of poly(3-decyl-2,5-thienylene), poly[3-(10-hydroxydecyl)-2,5-thienylene] and their copolymers was studied by the addition of the non-solvent methanol. A reversed chromic transformation was found associated with the content of the hydroxyalkyl substituent. This anomalous effect was investigated using a number of non-solvents, in particular aliphatic alcohols from methanol up to decanol. In the case of a chloroform/methanol mixture, which gives the maximum anomalous effect, the effect produced by temperature variation was also examined. An explanation based on a molecular approach was attempted.

A reversed chromic transformation was found associated with the content of the hydroxyalkyl substituent. This anomalous effect was investigated using a number of non-solvents, in particular aliphatic alcohols from methanol up to decanol. In the case of a chloroform/methanol mixture, which gives the maximum anomalous effect, the effect produced by temperature variation was also examined.
