In order to disentangle the relaxation effects of exciton migration and conformational rearrangement, a comparative study of a polyfluorene derivative and short oligofluorenes is carried out. We probe their long-time time-dependent relaxation in dilute solution using picosecond single photon counting and streak camera techniques. Conformational relaxation is found in oligo- and polyfluorenes. Oligofluorene relaxation is purely conformational: time scales vary between 10 and 3000.3em0exps becoming faster with decreasing chain length and solvent viscosity or increasing temperature. While a rigid ladder-type polymer in solution does not show any picosecond relaxation, polyfluorene in solution exhibits fluorescence dynamics indicating both, conformational relaxation and exciton migration.
