Photophysical and photochemical features of [3n]cyclophanes (3nCPs) (n = 2-6) in solution were investigated by emission and transient absorption measurements. The studied 3nCPs show excimer fluorescence without locally excited fluorescence whereas some of them emit excimer phosphorescence in rigid g

Luminescence mechanochromism of the well-known Cu3Pz3-type (Pz = pyrazolate) complexes is reported here, which is unusual for this family. Two types of new Cu3Pz3 complexes, namely Cu3(EBPz)3 (1; EBPz = ethyl-4'-benzoate-3,5-dimethylpyrazolate) and Cu3(MBPz)3 (polymorphs 2a-c; MBPz = methyl-4'-benzo

This photophysical study characterizes the generality of intermolecular electronic interactions present within nanomaterials derived from self-assembling oligopeptides with embedded π-conjugated oligophenylenevinylene (OPV) subunits stilbene and distyrylbenzene that in principle present two distinc
