Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the photophysical properties of 13,14-diphenyldibenzo[b,j][4,7]phenanthroline (DBP3) using time-resolved fluorescence and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy in various solvents.
  • It reveals creation of an intramolecular benzene excimer that produces a strong redshifted emission between 540-640 nm, with intrinsic fluorescence significantly quenched to lifetimes around 50-400 femtoseconds.
  • The research uncovers three lifetime components (50 fs, ~3.5 ps, and ~25 ps) linked to solute-solvent interactions, and directly observes the formation of triplet states through intersystem crossing from the upper excited

It has long been an aspirational goal to create artificial channel structures that replicate the feat achieved by ion channel proteins. Biological ion channels occasionally demonstrate multiple conductance states (known as subconductance), remaining a challenging property to achieve in artificial channel molecules. We report a funnel-shaped single-molecule channel constructed by an electron-deficient macrocycle and two electron-deficient aromatic imide arms.
