摘要
Twisting the light away: Internal conversion between the S2 and S1 excited singlet states is rapid in the target dyes (see picture) but shows a clear sensitivity to rotational flexibility of the meso-phenyl ring. Steric crowding by methyl groups at the 4,7-positions leads to a curved S 2 potential-energy surface punctured with nonlocal pinholes coupled to the S1 surface. Removal of these groups flattens the potential-energy surface, promoting barrierless crossing to the S1 surface. Copyright © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
