摘要

The excited triplet state characteristics of diphenylanthracene (4,4'-(anthracene-9,10-diyl)dibenzoic acid: DCDPA2−), a water-soluble triplet–triplet annihilation-based photon upconversion emitter molecule, were investigated. The excited triplet state of DCDPA2− (3*DCDPA2−) was generated by triplet-sensitized energy transfer reactions using water-soluble anionic porphyrin (tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinatopalladium: PdTPPS4−). The characteristic transient absorption spectra of the excited triplet state of PdTPPS4− (3*PdTPPS4−) were observed within the 120-µs region. In time regions above 120 µs, different transient absorption spectra appeared at 400–520 nm and were attributed to 3*DCDPA2−. Based on the decay analyses, the lifetime of 3*DCDPA2− was determined as 1.61 ms.
