Dynamics of Excited-State Conformational Relaxation and Electronic Delocalization in Conjugated Porphyrin Oligomers

Abstract: We have investigated the influence of nuclear geometric relaxation on the extent of the excited-state electronic delocalization in conjugated zinc porphyrin oligomers using ultrafast transient photoluminescence spectroscopy. By use of metal-coordinating templates that force the oligomers into specific geometries in solution we are able to distinguish clearly between relaxation effects arising from the two vibrational modes that preferentially couple to the electronic transitions in such materials, i.e., carbon… Show more

“…27,[31][32][33] Following such relaxation, the emission from bulk P3HT is generally long-lived, as would be expected. In contrast, the sheath emission in the P3HT-NT sample decays completely to zero with an ultrafast time constant of 0.43 ps.…”

“…However, it is currently unclear to what degree excitonic self-localization has to be incorporated into such models. Such effects feature strongly in organic materials as a result of significant lattice relaxation following soon after excitation, which leads to differences in the delocalization of the absorbing and the emitting excitonic state [12][13][14]. A clear assessment of the validity of these models has so far been prohibited by the disorder commonly present in organic materials.…”

“…For TCSPC and up-conversion measurements ( Figure 2(b)), the 400-nm frequency doubled Ti:Sapphire output was again used as the excitation source and the latter setup is described elsewhere [12]. For TCSPC, a PMT tube was used for detection.…”
