Photophysics of 10-Substituted Bis Glutarates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/j100379a037

Photophysical interactions between pendant anthryl groups in a family of bis<2-(9-anthryl)ethyl> glutarates have been characterized by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements.As the size of the 10-substituent increases, the rate of excimer formation decreases and the monomer-excimer equilibrium shifts toward the monomer.Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters influencing excimer formation are described.
