Abstract
An original and very strong long-lived emission of 2,2'-biquinoline is observed in hydrogen-bonded polymeric matrices only. This long-lived emission (tau(D) = 1 s) is ascribed to room-temperature phosphorescenc e (RTP) because of the large value of the decay time, the temperature- dependence, and the polarization results. The existence of hydrogen-bo nded complexes in the ground state is assumed to be the origin of the RTP. They involve changes in the conformation of the 2,2'-biquinoline.
