The absorption and fluorescence spectra of [2.21(9,10) anthraceno (1,4) naphthalenophane are reported. The anisotropy of the absorption bands was measured by two methods, ( i ) from fluorescence polarization ratios in a rigid glass and (ii) from single crystal absorption spectra at 23 K. The two states arising from the 1La states of the two chromophores were identified together with two states arising from other chromophore 1B2u states. Two states arising from the 1La states of the two chromophores were also identified. Whereas a coupled chromophore model accounts reasonably well for the latter two states, the energies and intensities of the bands arising from 1La chromophore states cannot be reconciled with this approach. Long axis polarized absorption intensity lying under the 1La, bands appears to be vibronically induced and not due to the 1Lb states. The absorption spectrum, fluorescence spectrum and fluorescence polarization ratios of a stable dimer were also observed. Its structure is similar to that of the stable dimer of anthracene in which the molecular long axes are parallel but the short axes make an angle of about 70o with each other. |
