Abstract

Phenylacetylene (PA) dendrimer labeled with perylene (See Fig 1) is discovered to exhibit temperature-dependent emission spectra in certain organic solvents over the temperature range of 20-65°C. The monomer signal is increasing rapidly when temperature increases, while the excimer signal decreases slowly. Models of excimer formation and weakly associated pairs (M+M) dissociation dynamics are included, and the equilibrium constants at different temperatures are calculated. This behavior suggests potential applications in fluorescence-based thermometry.
