Electronic states of the fluorophore 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene (BPEA). A synchrotron radiation linear dichroism investigation

- UV-Vis linear dichroism of BPEA aligned in stretched polyethylene.
- Observation and assignment of several previously unobserved electronic transitions.
- Revised polarization analysis of the visible absorption band.
- Extended far-UV LD absorption study facilitated by synchrotron radiation.
- Prediction and comparison of BPEA excited state properties by LCOAO and TD-DFT.
