Abstract:<p>Propeller-shaped molecules have received much attention due to their enhanced emission in the condensed phase (Aggregation Induced Emission, AIE) and their potential use in optoelectronic devices. In this contribution, we examine the excited state mechanisms of tetraphenyl-thiophene (TPT), one member of the family which features weaker AIE. We perform a detailed analysis of the potential energy surfaces with special focus on the role of triplet states considering the crystal structure, intermolecular … Show more
