Abstract

Triplet-triplet absorption, phosphorescence, and ESR spectra have been measured on the 1,3,5-tricyanobenzene complexes with toluene, mesitylene, durene, and hexamethylbenzene. Four triplet-triplet absorption bands were commonly observed in the wave number region of 10000–30000 cm−1 for all the complexes. The observed phosphorescence and T-T absorption spectra could be understood systematically by considering the interaction among zero-order charge-transfer triplet states and zero-order locally (within the acceptor) excited triplet states. From an analysis of the zero-field splitting values obtained from the observed ESR spectra, the contribution of the zero-order charge-transfer triplet state to the lowest triplet state was determined to be 76,65,25, and 9% for the 1,3,5-tricyanobenzene complexes with hexamethylbenzene, durene, mesitylene, and toluene, respectively. From the consideration on the results obtained for various polycyanobenzene complexes, the phosphorescence lifetime was found to decrease rem...
