The effect of temperature (from 296 to 423 K) upon the absorption and
fluorescence of 1-phenyl-4-diphenylthiophosphinyl butadiene (PDPB) and
of the direct irradiation on the absorbance were investigated in poly
(vinyl alcohol) film. It was found that for PDPB in PVA film the trans
ition from cis to trans configuration is only possible as a result of
thermal isomerization due to the softening of PVA polymer, whereas pho
toisomerization results in both cis-to-trans and trans-to-cis transiti
ons. Similar as with 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene in PVA, the luminescen
ce is due to two, trans-trans and cis-trans, PDPB conformers.
