Abstract
The excimer formation that takes place following electronic excitation of v an der Waals dimers of fluorene and dibenzofuran has been investigated in r eal-time using a picosecond pump-probe photodissociation technique. For bot h dimers, excimer formation is found to occur on a approximate to 40 ps tim e scale. The result indicates that the broadening in the excitation spectru m of the dibenzofuran dimer is due to inhomogeneous sources. (C) 2001 Elsev ier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
