Photoluminescence of a new polycrystalline scintillator based on stilbene

Two phases of trans-stilbene in a polystyrene matrix

“…Possible technological applications require extensive knowledge of photophysical processes of various complex heterostructured materials based on stilbene. The variability in the spectral properties of solid conformations of Tstilbene with temperature [18][19][20][21] in aggregated form [22][23][24] has been investigated for many decades, but still remains obscure. From our recent studies it has been found that the temperature dependence of the steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence of solid-state systems and films of Tstilbene is attributed to cooperative exciton state formation in condensed phases, when the molecular isomerization process is suppressed.…”

Regioselective Synthesis of α-Functional Stilbenes via Precise Control of Rapid cis–trans Isomerization in Flow

“…Stilbene derivatives have been at the forefront of pharmaceutical research and development, because of their potential therapeutic or preventive applications, exemplified by tamoxifen, resveratrol, and combretastatin A-4 . Furthermore, they have been often used in material applications as dye precursors, optical brighteners, phosphors, and scintillators …”
