چکیده

We report on the effects of introducing guest molecules into a functionalized anthradithiophene (ADT) host on the photoluminescent (PL) and photoconductive properties of solution-deposited thin films. An addition of 0.1 wt % of an ADT derivative with cyano end groups (ADT-TIPS-CN) to a fluorinated ADT derivative (ADT-TES-F) resulted in the near complete quenching of the fluorescence spectrum of the ADT-TES-F host with an enhancement in the fluorescence spectrum of the ADT-TIPS-CN guest. A markedly longer PL lifetime was noted in films containing 10% ADT-TIPS-CN guest molecules compared to both pristine ADT-TES-F and ADT-TIPS-CN films. Stronger temperature dependence of the PL quantum yield was obtained in ADT-TIPSCN/ADT-TES-F films at low ADT-TIPS-CN concentrations than in films of pristine material, with PL decreasing with increasing temperature. Significant changes in the photoexcited charge carrier dynamics were observed on nanosecond time-scales after 400 nm 100 fs pulsed photoexcitation upon adding ADT-TIPS-CN guest molecules to the ADT-TES-F host. In contrast, no considerable change in the photocurrent was detected under continuous wave 532 nm excitation for guest molecule concetrations up to 1% of ADT-TIPS-CN in ADT-TES-F.

Photophysical Responses of Benzimidazolic and Benzoxazolic HydroxyCoumarin Dyes

We synthesized four novel benzoxazolic and benzimidazolic derivatives of 6-hydroxycoumarin and their photophysical properties were studied. The products with brilliant yellow color shades declared green fluorescence. The emission peaks of the products appeared 456–474 nm. The important characteristic for fluorescent compounds, the Stokes shift νA-νF, oscillator strength f, and fluorescence quan...

Semiconductor nanoclusters and fullerenes: A new class of sensitizing dyes for photoconductive polymers

m: Over the past decade, a large number of nanoclusters including fullerenes have been prepared. The structures of these nanometer-sized inorganic clusters are usually similar to those of the bulk crystals. yet their properties are remarkably different. With the proper surface-capping agents, clusters of varying sizes can be isolated as powders and redissolved into various organic solvents just...
