Oxophosphoryl Complexes of Dipyrrin: Spectral and Aggregation Characteristics of Solutions and Thin Films

详细

The spectral characteristics of a compound representing a new class of organic luminescent materials—dipyrrin oxophosphoryl complex (PODIPY)—in organic solvents and thin films have been investigated. The compound under study exhibits high-intensity fluorescence in solutions, which is preserved when passing to thin films obtained by layer-by-layer deposition onto a substrate using the Langmuir–Schaeffer technique. PODIPY is characterized by has bright solvatochromic fluorescence, which is related to the redistribution of the intensities of absorption and fluorescence bands and their shift. This effect originates from the specific solvation of PODIPY with partition of the oxygen atoms of oxophosphoryl group. A transition from solutions to films and an increase in the number of transfers lead to the fluorescence quenching without the formation of G aggregates in the film.
