Synthesis and single aggregate spectroscopy of a novel fluorescent dendrimer with highly efficient energy harvesting
A novel fluorescent dendrimer with a diphenylanthracene core and pyrenyl groups in the dendrons was synthesized. Fluorescence spectra and its decay curves proved spontaneous energy transfer from the pyrene units to the core diphenylanthracene, which was ascertained both in solution and for a single particle of the dendrimer aggregate.
