“…However, this has not observed experimentally. 7,13,14,16,17 Instead, the opposite trend was observed when comparing di-iodine and dibromine-substituted compounds, where I 2 -tetraphenyl-aBDP exhibits a quite high quantum fluorescence of about γ = 0.33, whereas Br 2tetraphenyl-aBDP has almost negligible fluorescence with γ = 0.03 and Cl 2 -tetraphenyl-aBDP again appears to display a smaller rate of ISC, with γ = 0.28. These experimental results agreed well with the observed generation of photosensitized ( 1 O 2 ) by these molecules, where the most effective sensitization was not for the I 2 -substituted compound, having a triplet yield of 0.12, but rather for the Br 2 -substituted sensitizer (triplet yield of 0.83−0.89).…”
