Interactions between pi-conjugated chromophores in a giant molecular spoked wheel


Abstract in English

We discuss the intriguing photophysics of a giant molecular spoked wheel of pi-conjugated arylenealkynylene chromophores on the single-molecule level. This molecular mesoscopic tructure, C1878H2682, shows fast switching between the 12 identical chromophores since the fluorescence is unpolarised but only one chromophore emits at a time.
