Abstract
Ultrafast time resolved fluorescence anisotropy decay measurements were performed to gain insight into the energy gap dependence of donor-acceptor inter-chromophoric coupling within one supra-molecule. Three new compounds, each consisting of two semi-rigidly linked and strongly coupled chromophores, were designed and synthesized for this study. Their general structure is donor-spacer-acceptor, where "donor" is phenylamino, pyrenylamino, or benzanthronylamino moiety, and acceptor is aminobenzanthrone. While being similar structurally, the compounds differ significantly in the excitation energy difference of the two chromophores in a supra-molecule. Experimental data show an ultrafast initial fluorescence emission anisotropy decrease (within less then I ps) when the excited state energies of the interacting chromophores are close to each other or equal. No such fast fluorescence anisotropy dynamics is observed for a compound with a large energy gap.
