The role of conformational heterogeneity in the excited state dynamics of linked diketopyrrolopyrrole dimers
Literature Information

Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) derivatives have been proposed for both singlet fission and energy upconversion as they meet the energetic requirements and exhibit superior photostability compared to many other chromophores. In this study, both time-resolved electronic and IR spectroscopy have been applied to investigate excited state relaxation processes competing with fission in dimers of DPP derivatives with varying linker structures. A charge-separated (CS) state is shown to be an important intermediate with dynamics that are both solvent and linker dependent. The CS state is found for a subset of the total population of excited molecules and it is proposed that CS state formation requires suitably aligned dimers within a broader distribution of conformations available in solution. No long-lived triplet signatures indicative of singlet fission were detected, with the CS state likely acting as an alternative relaxation pathway for the excitation energy. This study provides insight into the role of molecular conformation in determining excited state relaxation pathways in DPP dimer systems.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
