Abstract:
We report the absorption, photoluminescence (PL), and time-dependent PL of thin films of conjugated phenylacetylene monodendrons at both room temperature and at cryogenic temperature. We find that the PL properties of the monodendron thin films are significantly different from their fluorescence in dilute solution due to the presence of interactions between monodendrons in the thin film. These interactions lead to aggregate species in the thin films, which result in broader PL spectra and lower PL quantum yields than for monodendrons in dilute solution. Evidence for excimer-like aggregates in the monodendron thin films is found from time-resolved PL spectra.
