Multi-Conformational Luminescence and Phosphorescence of Few Phenazine 1,2,3-Triazole Molecules

Dropcast films produced from blends solutions of phenazine 1,2,3-triazole molecules in very low concentrations in a 1,3-Bis (N-carbazolyl) benzene (mCP) matrix were investigated at room temperature. The mCP acts as an optically inert matrix, having no influence on the emission properties of the guest molecules. Its conductive properties also ensure that blend films, within a completely organic character, are formed as truly active layers. The fluorescent and phosphorescent emission properties of the phenazine molecules, depending on their conformational states, allowed relatively intense emissions in blue, green, red and also in white, without the need to mix different materials. Although the results of absorption of the blended films have shown no characteristics of the guest molecules, due to their relatively low concentrations, the excitation of them occurs directly by the incident laser beam. The steady-state spectroscopy for the monomer and dimer singlet fluorescence states of respective blue and green emissions of the films were investigated. The analysis of their temporal decays were done using a different approach based on the Exponentially Modified Gaussian (EMG) function. The phosphorescent emissions of the triplet steady-states, occurring in the orange or in the red wavelength regions, were observed to be correlated, respectively, to the formation of guest monomers or to the guest dimers singlet states.
