The unusual fluorescence of 9-cyano-10-N,N-dimethylaminoanthracene
Abstract
Three distinct fluorescence emission bands with maxima at 435, 497 and 615 nm are observed in acetonitrile for 9-cyano-10-N,N-dimethyiaminoanthracene and are assigned as arising from a, π,π, an excimer, and a charge transfer state, respectively.
