Abstract

The nature of the lowest-energy charge-transfer (CT)excited state of the donor acceptor molecule, 3,5-dimethyl-4-(9-anthracenyl)julolidine (DMJ- An) is investigated using femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy. Transient Raman spectra are presented with subpicosecond time resolution, and peaks are assigned based on the published Raman modes of the reference molecule phenyl anthracene. The results indicate that the CT excited state is dominated by a fully charge separated radical ion pair state with minimal contribution from the local anthracene pi-pi* state.

Anthracene-incorporated cyanostilbene based donor-acceptor systems: intramolecular charge transfer and aggregation induced emission

Cherumannil Femina, M. Shanthil, Pookkottu K. Sajith, Reji Thomas

Summary: This study reports the synthesis and photophysical properties of donor-acceptor systems based on anthracene and cyanostilbene, showing strong emission in solution due to intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). CSB-1 demonstrated a stimuli responsive dual mode luminescence switching under applied stress and ethyl acetate vapours. Furthermore, CSB-1 showed a higher quantum yield in the solid state compared to CSB-2 due to its rigid molecular packing.

Direct Tracking Excited-State Intramolecular Charge Redistribution of Acceptor-Donor-Acceptor Molecule by Means of Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy

Wei Zhang, Wenqi Xu, Guoxian Zhang, Jie Kong, Xinmiao Niu, Julian M. W. Chan, Weimin Liu, Andong Xia

Summary: In this study, the intramolecular charge delocalization/localization of a newly synthesized acceptor-donor-acceptor molecule was intensively investigated using femtosecond stimulated Raman scattering and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The nature of the relaxed S-1 state was found to be strongly influenced by solvent polarity, with symmetric delocalized intramolecular charge transfer characters occurring in apolar solvent and asymmetric localized ICT characters appearing in polar solvent due to solvation. The solvation dynamics extracted from fs-TA were consistent with the time constants obtained by FSRS, but FSRS clearly tracked the excited state intramolecular charge transfer delocalization/localization.

Tracking twisted intramolecular charge transfer and isomerization dynamics in 9-(2,2-dicyanovinyl) julolidine using femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy

Zhengxin Wang, Jiaming Jiang, Yifan Huang, Weimin Liu

Summary: The study investigates how solvent environments affect the mechanism of molecular rotors. By using experimental and computational methods, it is found that the molecule undergoes rotation in the excited state and dissipates energy through two non-radiative decay channels. The polarity of the solvent influences the rotation of the molecule and energy transfer.

Charge Separation/Recombination, Intersystem Crossing, and Unusually Slow Intramolecular Triplet-Triplet Energy Transfer in Naphthalenediimide-Anthracene Compact Energy Donor-Acceptor Dyads

Jianzhang Zhao, Violeta K. Voronkova, Mariangela Di Donato, Xi Chen, Andrey A. Sukhanov, Maria Taddei, Bernhard Dick

Summary: In this study, three anthracene-naphthalenediimide electron donor-acceptor dyads were synthesized, and their photophysical properties and triplet state behavior were investigated using femtosecond transient absorption and nanosecond transient absorption techniques. The results show that the dyads exhibit fast charge separation and relatively slow charge recombination upon photoexcitation, with the dyads containing an intervening phenyl linker showing unusually slow triplet-triplet energy transfer rates. Time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy confirms that the intersystem crossing mechanism for all the dyads is spin orbit charge transfer intersystem crossing.

Exploring Electronic Characteristics of Acceptor-Donor-Acceptor-Type Molecules by Single-Molecule Charge Transport

Peihui Li, Wan Xiong, Jinying Wang, Jie Hao, Mingpeng Li, Boyu Wang, Yijian Chen, Wei Si, Haiyang Ren, Guangwu Li, Yongsheng Chen, Jingtao Lu, Hongtao Zhang, Chuancheng Jia, Xuefeng Guo

Summary: The electronic characteristics of organic optoelectronic materials play a crucial role in determining the performance of related devices, particularly in organic photovoltaics. This study investigates a typical acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A)-type molecule to understand its inherent electronic characteristics at the single-molecule level. The presence of 1,1-dicyano methylene-3-indanone (INCN) acceptor units in the A-D-A-type molecule enhances its conductance in single-molecule junctions by providing additional transport channels. Protonation-induced conformational changes allow for detection of charge transport in the central part of the D unit, confirming that the conductive orbitals contributed by the INCN acceptor groups can penetrate the entire A-D-A molecule. These findings offer important insights for the development of high-performance organic optoelectronic materials and devices for practical applications.

Electron transfer and intersystem crossing in the coumarin-anthracene electron donor-acceptor dyads

Xiaoyu Zhao, Ivan Kurganskii, Ayhan Elmali, Jianzhang Zhao, Ahmet Karatay, Gloria Mazzone, Matvey Fedin

Summary: A series of compact coumarin-anthracene donor-acceptor dyads were synthesized to investigate the relationship between molecular configuration, electronic coupling, and intersystem crossing (ISC) efficiency. The results showed that the orthogonal geometry of the dyads was beneficial to the spin-orbit charge transfer ISC (SOCT-ISC) mechanism. Singlet oxygen quantum yields were solvent polarity-dependent, and the orthogonal dyads exhibited higher yields compared to the coplanar dyad. Transient absorption spectra revealed different localized and delocalized triplet states in the dyads, with varied lifetimes. Time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (TREPR) spectra confirmed the involvement of the SOCT-ISC mechanism in orthogonal dyads, while both SOCT-ISC and spin-orbit ISC (SO-ISC) mechanisms contributed to the triplet state formation in the coplanar dyad. The electron spin polarization (ESP) pattern of the triplet states depended on not only the molecular geometry but also the electron donor and acceptor structure.

Identifying the Trade-off between Intramolecular Singlet Fission Requirements in Donor-Acceptor Copolymers

J. Terence Blaskovits, Maria Fumanal, Sergi Vela, Raimon Fabregat, Clemence Corminboeuf

Summary: This study identifies the trade-off between the main requirements of the donor-acceptor strategy for iSF and formulates design rules for tuning them simultaneously in a fragment-based approach. Simple guidelines to build promising novel materials for iSF are established based on a library of 2944 donor-acceptor copolymers. Systems containing benzothiadiazole and thiophene-1,1-dioxide acceptors have been shown to fulfill all criteria for iSF simultaneously when paired with appropriate donors, making them highly promising candidates in the quest for iSF materials.

On donor-acceptor-bridging intramolecular hydrogen bonds in NIR-TADF molecules

Fabian Weber, Hirotoshi Mori

Summary: Following a report on the importance of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in improving NIR-TADF efficiency in CAT-1, a study was conducted to compare the performance of intramolecular doubly hydrogen-bonded base design to singly and non-bonded derivatives. The results showed that the structures with more intramolecular hydrogen bonds have lower internal reorganization energies. Additionally, the proposed base design allows for interlocking of charge transfer donor-, linker- and acceptor-planes through steric gauche-interactions, enabling the trapping of smaller heterocyclic linkers.

Characterizing excited states of single donor-acceptor molecule by high-resolution Raman images

Dingwei Chu, Haizhen Yu, Li Wang, Chuan-Kui Wang, Yuzhi Song, Zhen Xie

Summary: The excited states of donor-acceptor molecules play a crucial role in various applications, but they are difficult to characterize using conventional experimental techniques. Resonance tip-enhanced Raman scattering images provide a clear identification of these excited states and serve as a benchmark for evaluating the accuracy of different functionals in describing charge-transfer systems. These findings expand the use of resonance Raman images in the characterization and improvement of functional donor-acceptor molecular materials.
