Abstract
The kinetics of relaxation of high-lying electronic states of porphycene (porphyrin isomer) embedded in different cryogenic matrices were studied using picosecond time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) and transient absorption (TA) techniques. The molecule was excited into the Soret band, i.e., with a large energy excess compared to that of the lowest (Q) excited state. The TRF and TA time profiles obtained for porphycene embedded in argon and methane matrices were remarkably different: the overall relaxation in argon occurred in 64 ps, whereas the corresponding value for methane matrix was 18 ps. Analysis of the evolution over time of different spectral ranges of TRF spectra indicates the multidimensional character of relaxation kinetics.
