We present a spectroscopic investigation on the effect of changing the position where carbazole is attached to biphenyl in carbazolebiphenyl (CBP) on the triplet state energies and the propensity to excimer formation. For this, two CBP derivatives have been prepared with the carbazole moieties attached at the ( para ) 4- and 4 ′ -positions ( p CBP) and at the ( meta ) 3- and 3 ′ -positions ( m CBP) of the biphenyls. These compounds are compared to analogous m CDBP and p CDBP, i.e. two highly twisted carbazoledimethylbiphenyls, which have a high triplet energy at about 3.0 eV and tend to form triplet excimers in a neat film. This torsion in the structure is associated with localization of the excited state onto the carbazole moieties. We find that in m CBP and p CBP, excimer formation is prevented by localization of the triplet excited state onto the central moiety. As conjugation can continue from the central biphenyls into the nitrogen of the carbazole in the para -connected p CBP, emission involves mainly the benzidine. By contrast, the meta -linkage in m CBP limits conjugation to the central biphenyl. The associated shorter conjugation length is the reason for the higher triplet energy of 2.8 eV in m CBP compared with the 2.65 eV in p CBP.

Abstract An investigation of the photoexcited triplet state of chlorophyll (Chl) a in the water-soluble chlorophyll protein (WSCP) of Brassica oleracea has been carried out by means of electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), achieving a complete assignment of the observed hyperfine couplings corresponding to methine protons and methyl groups of Chl a triplet state. The triplet-state properties, and in particular the hyperfine couplings, were found to be similar to those previously reported for Chl a in the WSCP of Lepidium virginicum. Therefore, the porphyrin ring deformation observed in Brassica oleracea WSCP seems to only slightly affect the spin density of 3Chl a. This may be relevant when considering the robustness of triplet–triplet energy transfer mechanisms, relying on wavefunction overlap, in systems, such as the photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes, in which Chl triplet states with distorted geometries are involved.
