The excimer formation in polymers with pendant aromatic chromophores has been actively investigated.1 The configurational and conformational aspects have been found important in excimer dynamics. 2 -5 The use of diastereoisomeric model compounds of structure I has been quite helpful in understanding the relation between the structure and dynamics of excimers in polyvinyl aromatic compounds. The meso and racemic isomers of 2,4-di(N-carbazolyl)pentane give the sandwich excimer and second excimer, respectively; the latter has a higher energy than the former. 2 From a configurational viewpoint, it was concluded that the sandwich and second excimers have full and partial overlap between two carbazolyl groups, respectively. In the case of the other substituents, the meso isomer always had a larger intensity ratio of the excimer over the monomer fluorescence, compared to the racemic isomer. The meso isomer of bis[l-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]ether has two spectrally different excimers, due to strong steric interaction between the H8 peri-hydrogen and the methyl groups. 6 This interaction is also important in bis[l-(9-anthryl)ethyl]ether. 7 Compared to the above study on singlet excimers, the relation among absorption spectra, dynamics, and geometrical structures of the triplet excimer is still less understood. One method for elucidating this relation is estimating the stabilization and transition energies by an MO calculation and to relate them to geometrical structure. 8 Another approach is measuring the transient absorption spectra of the triplet diastereoisomers. We applied the ns laser photolysis method to carbazolyl and phenanthryl dimer model compounds. 9 • 10 Similar investigations were made for the intramolecular triplet excimers of the naphthalene and phenanthrene systems.U These transient absorption spectral measurements showed that electronic structure and dynamics depend on geometrical structure.In the present work, the transient absorption spectral measurement was extended to dipyrenyl compounds, because pyrene is the most representative aromatic hydrocarbon showing intermolecular singlet excimer formation. 12 The synthesis and purification of meso-and racemic-bis [l-(1-pyrenyl)ethyl]ether (abbreviated as m-BlPyEE and r-BlPyEE, respectively) will be published elsewhere.13 l-Ethylpyrene (EtPy), a monomer model 915
