A J-type dimer PMI-2, two perylene monoimides linked by butadiynylene bridger was prepared, and its excited-state dynamics was studied using ultrafast femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, along with steady-state spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. It is evidently demonstrated that the symmetry-breaking charge separation (SB-CS) process in PMI-2 is positively mediated by an excimer, which is mixed by localized Frenkel excitation (LE) and an interunit charge transfer (CT) state. Kinetic studies show that, with the polarity increasing of the solvent, the transformation of excimer from a mixture to the CT state (SB-CS) is accelerated, and the recombination time of the CT state is reduced obviously. Theoretical calculations indicate that these are due to PMI-2 obtaining more negative free energy (Δ) and lower CT state energy levels in highly polar solvents. Our work suggests that the mixed excimer can be formed in a J-type dimer with suitable structure, in which the charge separation the process is sensitive to the solvent environment.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of organic ligands in enhancing phosphorescence in two-dimensional perovskites, focusing on isomeric ligands 1-NMA and 2-NMA.
- It reveals that while triplet energy transfer (TET) is rapid and efficient in (1-NMA)PbBr, the formation of triplet excimers is significantly hindered in (2-NMA)PbBr due to differences in ligand stacking.
- By adjusting the mixture of these ligands, the researchers achieve a significant 7.6-fold increase in phosphorescence efficiency, despite the overall low efficiency due to nonradiative decay.

A complex interplay of structural, electronic, and vibrational degrees of freedom underpins the fate of molecular excited states. Organic assemblies exhibit a myriad of excited-state decay processes, such as symmetry-breaking charge separation (SB-CS), excimer (EX) formation, singlet fission, and energy transfer. Recent studies of cofacial and slip-stacked perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) (PDI) multimers demonstrate that slight variations in core substituents and H- or J-type aggregation can determine whether the system follows an SB-CS pathway or an EX one.

We report the synthesis, characterization, and photophysical properties of four new dye-modified ()Bi pincer complexes with two mercaptocoumarin or mercaptopyrene ligands. Their photophysical properties were probed by UV/vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) studies, and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. Absorption spectra of the complexes are dominated by mixed pyrene or coumarin π → π*/n(pS) → pyrene or coumarin π* transitions.

A comprehensive investigation of the solution-phase photophysics of tetracene bis-carboxylic acid [ ()] and its related methyl ester [ ()], a non-hydrogen-bonding counterpart, reveals the role of the carboxylic acid moiety in driving molecular aggregation and concomitant excited-state behavior. Low-concentration solutions of exhibit similar properties to the popular 5,12-bis((triisopropylsilyl)ethynl)tetracene, but as the concentration increases, evidence for aggregates that form excimers and a new mixed-state species with charge-transfer (CT) and correlated triplet pair (TT) character is revealed by transient absorption and fluorescence experiments. Aggregates of evolve further with concentration toward an additional phase that is dominated by the mixed CT/TT state which is the only state present in aggregates and can be modulated with the solvent polarity.
