S. Nishiyama et al., PERSISTENT SPECTRAL HOLE-BURNING OF PHENOXAZINE AND PHENOTHIAZINE-DERIVATIVES IN POLY(VINYL ALCOHOL) AND THE EFFECT OF THE ADDITION OF N,N,N',N'-TETRAMETHYL-P-PHENYLENEDIAMINE, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 71(7), 1998, pp. 1731-1737
The photochemical behavior at cryogenic temperatures of phenoxazine an
d phenothiazine dyes in poly(vinyl alcohol) was investigated by using
persistent spectral hole burning. The importance of hydrogen-bondings
has been confirmed by measuring the effects of the addition of N,N,N',
N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine on the holewidth and the hole area o
f various cationic dyes at 20 K. The hydrogen bonds around the ring-N
atom affect the total dephasing time, while the hydrogen bonds around
the amino groups as the substituents and around the ring-N atom contro
l the efficiency of hole formation.
