Fluorination has become a versatile route to tune the electronic and optical properties of organic conjugated materials. Herein we report a new phenomenon, excited-state switching by per-fluorination of para-oligophenylenes, placing a low intensity 11B2 state below the 11B1 state, giving rise to large Stokes shifts. The switching is attributed to the specific impact of fluorine on the delocalized and localized frontier orbitals as elucidated by quantum-chemical calculations. The sterical demands of the fluorine atom additionally diminish efficient conjugation along the chain, leading to hypsochromic shifts with respect to the unsubstituted counterparts and to a weak chain length dependence of the absorption and unstructured emission spectra and enhanced internal conversion.
