Abstract

Aggregated complexes of diaminotriazine oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) (OPV) units hydrogen bonded to different complementary perylene bisimide (PERY) compds. have been investigated by means of absorption, CD, photoluminescence, and photoinduced absorption spectroscopy. These studies reveal that in the aggregated state an ultrafast photoinduced charge sepn. occurs via an intermol. pathway in the J-type stack of hydrogen-bonded OPV-PERY arrays. The subsequent charge recombination reaction strongly depends on small structural differences within the J-type geometry as revealed by comparison of stacked supramol. dimers, trimers, and covalently OPV-PERY linked systems. A coupled oscillator model is used to analyze absorption and CD spectra and to identify intermol. arrangements that are consistent with the exptl. spectra and the charge-transfer kinetics.
