	abstract = {A series of monodispersed oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene)s were synthesized bearing intramolecular hydrogen bonds between side chains of adjacent phenylene units in the backbone. Thus, all repeating units of the molecules are constrained in a coplanar orientation. Such planarized conformation is considered favorable for single-molecule conductance. Photophysical characterization results show narrowed bandgaps and extended conjugation lengths, consistent with a rigid, planar backbone framework as a result of intramolecular hydrogen bonding.},
