Abstract:
Excited-state dynamics in α-perylene single crystals is studied by time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption techniques under different excitation conditions. The ultrafast lifetimes of the "hot" excimer (Y) state were resolved. Three competing excited-states decay channels are observed: excimer formation, dimer cation generation, and singlet fission. The singlet fission induced by two-photon and consecutive two-quantum absorption is reported for the first time in an α-perylene crystal.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
