A Highly Soluble Asymmetric Perylene-Bis (Dicarboximide)-Acceptor System Incorporating A Methylene Bridged Methoxybenzene-Donor: Solvent Dependence Of Charge Transfer Interactions, Rene M. Williams

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The synthesis and photophysical properties of an asymmetrically substituted perylene-bis(dicarboximide), (PDI), system (1) containing a methylene bridged 4-methoxy-benzene donor and a solubilizing branched C_{13} alkyl chain are described. As compared to most PDIs, the fluorescence of 1 is strongly quenched in polar (but not in non-polar) solvents due to a photo-induced electron transfer process. Transient absorption spectroscopy and time resolved emission in e.g. acetonitrile indicates that upon excitation the radical anion of the PDI is formed with a rate of ca. 3.5 \times 10^9s^{-1}, and the charge transfer state has a lifetime of ca. 3 ns.

A Systematic Study On The Absorption And Fluorescence Properties Of 2,4,6-Triaryl And Tripyridylpyridines, Esra Findik, Mustafa Arik, Mustafa Ceylan Jan 2009

A Systematic Study On The Absorption And Fluorescence Properties Of 2,4,6-Triaryl And Tripyridylpyridines, Esra Findik, Mustafa Arik, Mustafa Ceylan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Eight different 2,4,6-triaryl, and tripyridylpridines compounds were synthesized and their fluorescent properties were studied by using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy techniques in 6 different solvents. Especially, 2,4,6-triarylpyridines showed strong fluorescence properties with high fluorescence quantum yields but small Stokes shifts.
