The research investigates how substitution patterns influence exciton localisation in quadrupolar dyes.
Analyzed different substitution patterns in quadrupolar dyes
Examined their effect in polar environments
Utilized computational simulations to measure exciton characteristics
Identified significant dependence of exciton localisation on substitution patterns
Demonstrated that certain patterns enhance localisation of electronic excitations
Found that excited-state symmetry breaking plays a crucial role in the behaviour of quadrupolar dyes
Abstract
Localisation of the electronic excitation via excited-state symmetry breaking (ESSB) is a caracteristic property of many quadrupolar dyes in polar environments, and was shown to depend on the nature of...
