Popis: The fluorescence decay of trans (2-anthryl)ethylenes containing phenyl, 2-naphthyl, and 2-thienyl groups as the second substituent is biexponential. The decay profiles in benzene are analyzable in terms of two lifetimes in the ranges 6-11 and 17-30 ns, respectively. The complex decay behavior as well as the observation of excitation wavelength dependence of fluorescence spectra, quantum yields, exciplex emission maxima, and fluorescence quenching constants (with oxygen, ethyl iodide (EtI), and N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) as quenchers) is attributed to the existence of quasi-energetic rotamers in solutions of (2-anthryl)ethylenes. Exciplex lifetimes and transient absorption spectra of radical anions obtained by nanosecond laser flash photolysis in the presence of N,N-dimethylaniline are also presented. 17 references, 6 figures, 6 tables.
