P. Bordat et R. Brown, Elucidation of optical switching of single guest molecules in terrylene/p-terphenyl mixed crystals, CHEM P LETT, 331(5-6), 2000, pp. 439-445
An empirical molecular model is used to explore the ground-state potential
energy surface of a mixed crystal in which reversible, reproducible, photo-
induced frequency jumps of single molecules were recently reported. In the
model, which accounts for many observed features of terrylene in p-terpheny
l, optical switching of the guest transition frequency corresponds to relax
ation of host molecules in the second solvation shell. (C) 2000 Elsevier Sc
