Oxidation is one of the main degradation problems in conjugated polymers. Stimulated from the recent experimental report of optical properties of charged oligofluorenes [Fratiloiu, S; et al. J. Phys. Chem. B 2006, 110, 5984-5993], we studied the electronic structure and optical properties of neutral and charged oligofluorenses with and without the keto-defect by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). Using 2D site and 3D cube representations of the density matrix, we found the vertically and relaxed excited states (i.e. absorption and emission) for the neutral species being like Frenkel-excitons. For both charged species, however, the first excited states represent spatial oscillations of the electron-hole pair over the whole oligomer chain. A single keto-defect forming a central fluorene-9-on monomer strongly affects the excited states of the neutral and anionic oligo-fluorenes by getting strong charge-transfer character, while those of the cation are nearly unchanged.
