| Abstract | A complete and systematic study of the spectroscopic and photophysical properties of five novel diarylamines in the benzo[b]thiophene series (oligoanilines) was performed in solution at room (293 K) and low (77 K) temperature. The title compounds resulting from the link between one aniline unit with a benzo[b]thiophene unit (with two different methyl and methoxy substitution) were characterized using steady-state absorption, fluorescence and phosphorescence spectroscopy, as well as femto- to nano-second time resolved spectroscopies. The study involved the determination of the absorption, emission and triplet–triplet absorption together with all relevant quantum yields (fluorescence, phosphorescence, intersystem crossing, internal conversion and singlet oxygen yields), excited state lifetimes and the overall set of deactivation rate constants (kF, kIC and kISC). This study was further complemented with theoretical calculations, namely with the determination of the optimized ground-state molecular geometries for the diarylamines together with the prediction of the lowest vertical one-electron excitation energy and the relevant molecular orbital contours using DFT calculations. The DFT results were found to corroborate the observed charge-transfer character of the singlet excited state. The experimental results showed that the radiationless decay processes (internal conversion and intersystem-crossing) constitute the main excited state deactivation pathways and that substitution with methyl and methoxy groups induces significant changes in the spectroscopic and photophysical behaviour of these compounds. This was also corroborated by the femtosecond transient absorption study, where it was found that the ultrafast dynamics of the diarylamines was best described by a sequential model featuring fast solvent relaxation followed by conformational relaxation to a more planar excited state, from where singlet excited state deactivation occurs through internal conversion and competitive intersystem crossing (the latter giving rise to the formation of long lived triplet states). The high singlet oxygen quantum yield values obtained suggest that the triplet state is involved in the photodegradation processes of these compounds. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
