The triplet photophysical properties of poly[7V-((vinyloxy)carbonyl)carbazole] (PFCZ) and of its monomeric model iV-carbethoxycarbazole (MFCZ) have been investigated and compared with those of the widely studied poly(JV-vinylcarbazole) (PVCA). Two distinct triplet excimeric emissions are observed in solid films of PFCZ. Phosphorescence spectra of PFCZ and MFCZ in rigid solutions are essentially the same as observed previously for PVCA and JV-alkylcarbazoles, respectively. The fluorescence spectrum of PFCZ is significantly blue shifted relative to PVCA and, unlike PVCA, yields a structured emission both in solution and in the solid film state. In frozen solutions at 77 K spectral shifts of Os-saturated vs. N2-saturated solutions indicate the presence of a weakly bound singlet excimer. Phosphorescence lifetimes of PFCZ and MFCZ in rigid media are 6.2 and 7.0 s, respectively. The delayed fluorescence lifetime in solid films of PFCZ at 77 K is 3.5 s. The intensity of delayed fluorescence from PFCZ both in rigid solutions and in solid films depends upon the square of the excitation intensity and is thus thought to arise from triplet-triplet annihilation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
