Study of properties on non-protected room temperature phosphorescence and delayed excimer fluorescence of pyrene solution

Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc. 2001 Feb;57(2):385-93. doi: 10.1016/s1386-1425(00)00396-6.

Abstract

A strong and stable room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and delayed excimer fluorescence signal located at 596 and 475 nm, respectively, can be induced for pyrene solution in the absence of any protective medium only use KI or TlNO3 as a heavy atom perturber (HAP) and Na2SO3 as a deoxygenator. Both lifetimes of RTP and the delayed fluorescence are in the order of X-ms and the intensities are changed with kind and amount of HAP, but the peak positions are same and there is a iso-luminescent point in the emission spectra corresponding to emission at 475 nm and at 596 nm. The optimum conditions and the effects of kind and amount of HAP and organic solvents on luminescence properties of pyrene solution were studies in detail, and the photophysical process in the presence of KI or TlNO3 for phosphorescence and delayed excimer fluorescence emission of pyrene solution was discussed.
