Abstract
Excited state relaxation of indan-1,3-dione derivatives with different substituents attached to the phenyl ring and with the bridged amino group was investigated by means of the steady-state fluorescence and femtosecond time-resolved absorption pump-probe spectroscopy. Bridging of the amino group increases the fluorescence quantum yield and the excited state lifetime. Analysis of the results indicates that the phenyl ring twisting around a single central bond leads to the nonradiative state formation and to subsequent fast relaxation to the ground state. Double bond twisting takes place in molecules with the bridged amino group and causes a large Stokes shift and slightly slower excited state relaxation.
