Zb. Chen et al., STUDY ON THE PHOTOPHYSICAL PROCESS IN N-PHENYL PHENOTHIAZINE AND N-(2-PYRIDINE) PHENOTHIAZINE, Science in China. Series B, Chemistry, life sciences & earth sciences, 36(3), 1993, pp. 266-271
By the measurements of the solvent and temperature effects of the fluo
rescence emission spectra and lifetime of N-phenyl phenothiazine (PHZ)
and N-(2-pyridine) phenothiazine (PYZ), the existence of strongly twi
sted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state in PYZ emission spect
ra is proved. The exciplex formed by PHZ, PYZ and dimethyl terephthala
te (DMTP) is investigated, and moreover, the transient absorption spec
tra of positive and negative ions as the results of the dissociation o
f the exciplex in the polar solvents is observed through.the flash pho
tolysis.
