  1. aThose were recorded at a conc. of 10−5 M in toluene at RT; extinction coefficient (ε) is given in parentheses with a unit of 104 M−1 cm−1.
  2. bFull width at half maximum.
  3. cCoumarin 102 (C102) in methanol (Q.Y. = 87% and λmax = 480 nm) was employed as standard, and data recorded in degassed toluene solution in 10‒5 M at RT.
  4. dObserved lifetimes were obtained from transient PL measurement.
  5. eτrad = τobs/PLQY, kr = PLQY/τobs and knr = (1‒PLQY)/τobs.
