- of the spectrum, the largest shift of 2500 nm was displayed by the polymer 56. The origin of such absorption bands in the near-IR region can be attributed to an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process leading to the lowering of the HOMO–LUMO bandgap [34]. The azulene moiety plays a pivotal role
