We present a spectroscopic investigation on the effect of changing the position where carbazole is attached to biphenyl in carbazolebiphenyl (CBP) on the triplet state energies and the propensity to excimer formation. For this, two CBP derivatives have been prepared with the carbazole moieties attached at the ( para ) 4- and 4 ′ -positions ( p CBP) and at the ( meta ) 3- and 3 ′ -positions ( m CBP) of the biphenyls. These compounds are compared to analogous m CDBP and p CDBP, i.e. two highly twisted carbazoledimethylbiphenyls, which have a high triplet energy at about 3.0 eV and tend to form triplet excimers in a neat film. This torsion in the structure is associated with localization of the excited state onto the carbazole moieties. We find that in m CBP and p CBP, excimer formation is prevented by localization of the triplet excited state onto the central moiety. As conjugation can continue from the central biphenyls into the nitrogen of the carbazole in the para -connected p CBP, emission involves mainly the benzidine. By contrast, the meta -linkage in m CBP limits conjugation to the central biphenyl. The associated shorter conjugation length is the reason for the higher triplet energy of 2.8 eV in m CBP compared with the 2.65 eV in p CBP.


Quantum yields of triplet state formation and extinction coefficients of the triplet states have been determined by direct depletion methods for solutions of anthracene, phenanthrene, 1,2,5,6-dibenzanthracene, fluorescein, dibromofluorescein, eosin and erythrosin. The values obtained for the hydrocarbons are in reasonable agreement with those obtained by other workers using energy transfer and heavy atom perturbation techniques. In all cases which we have studied, the sum of the quantum yields of fluorescence and triplet state formation is equal to unity within the limits of experimental error, showing that radiationless transfer from the excited singlet to the ground state is negligible.

The transient produced on flash excitation of degassed solutions of thymine in acetonitrile has been characterized as the triplet excited state of thymine. This triplet state has a lifetime of 14 ± 1 μs and the associated dimerization rate was found to be 5.3 ± 0.3 × 108 M−1 s−1. The triplet state of thymine could be quenched by 2,4-hexadien-1-ol with a rate constant of 8.1 ± 0.6 × 109 M−1 s−1.
