A series of conjugated oligomers with rigid (fused-ring) structure, consisting in different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) possessing a single thiophene unit, here designated as arylthiophenes, were investigated in solution. For presentation clarity, the compounds were organized in two different groups. The first group includes the compounds where one, two, three and four benzene rings are added to a t...
The photophysics of six oligothiophenes end-capped with cyano groups (CNαn) was investigated in solution at room and low temperature. The study comprises singlet−singlet and triplet−triplet absorption and emission spectra together with lifetimes and quantum yields for all the radiative and nonradiative processes. From the lifetimes and quantum yields, it was possible to extract the rate constants for all the pr...
The β-carbolines present a complex problem involving multiple equilibria in the excited state in hydrogen-bonding solvents including water. Three excited state species exist: neutral, cation, and zwitterion. Here we examine the multiple equilibria and excited state kinetics of harmine, using time-resolved and steady state fluorescence techniques. From an analysis of the multiexponential decays, measured at the...
