    Figures & Tables(8)
    (a) Molecular structure of PDI-C5; (b) molecular structure of PDI-II; (c) normalized absorption and fluorescence spectra of PDI-C5 in solvents; (d) normalized absorption and fluorescence spectra of PDI- II in solvents.
    TA spectra at selected delay time of PDI-C5 in (a), (d) DCM, (b), (e) THF, and (c), (f) acetone. (a)–(c) show short time decay range. (d)–(f) show long time decay range. Excited at 480 nm.

    Global target analysis results derived from Fs-TA of PDI-C5. SADSs and population of PDI-C5 in (a), (d) DCM, (b), (e) THF, and (c), (f) acetone (LE is locally excited, CT is charge transfer, and GS is ground state).
    Global target analysis results derived from Fs-TA of PDI-II. SADSs and population of PDI-II in (a), (d) DCM, (b), (e) THF, and (c), (f) acetone (Ex. is excimer; Re. Ex. is relaxed excimer).
