The present invention provides methods, compounds, and compositions for the synthesis
of light harvesting arrays, such arrays comprising: (a) a first substrate comprising
a first electrode; and (b) a layer of light harvesting rods electrically coupled
to said first electrode, each of said light harvesting rods comprising a polymer
of Formula I:
wherein m is at least 1; X1 is a charge separation group, and
X2 through Xm+1 are chromophores. At least one of X2
through Xm+1 has at least one perylene group coupled thereto.
