Steady state and laser spectroscopic investigations on the intramolecular exciplex formation of 1-(N- p-anisyl-N-methyl)-amino-3-anthryl-(9)-propane

Abstract

The photophysical processes of 1-(N- p-anisyl-N-methyl)-amino-3-anthryl-(9)-propane, I, in methylcyclohexane/isopentane at different temperatures were investigated by steady state and time resolved fluorescence measurements. Structurally, I has a higher tendency to intramolecular exciplex formation than 1- p-dimethylaminophenyl-3-anthryl-(9)-propane, a compound of an isomeric type studied by Mataga and Eisenthal.
