Ultrafast Photophysics of Star-Like Molecules with Benzene and Triazine Core

Static and transient spectroscopic characters of newly synthesized start-like molecules, 1,3,5-tri(10-butyl-3-propenyl-10H-phenothiazine)-benzene (TP3B) and 2,4,6-tri(10-butyl-3-propenyl -10H-phenothiazine)-1,3,5triazine (TP3T), are studied using static, picosecond fluorescence and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The results show that when the benzene group is in the center, a large conjugation system is formed, while a fast electron-transfer process happens when the center group is triazine.
