  1. aPhotoluminescence properties were recorded with photoexcitation at the absorption maximum wavelength in the solution state at room temperature. Solution, 1 × 10−5 M in 2-methylpentane/toluene (99/1, v/v); crystal, recrystallized from hexane; –, not determined. Phosphorescence spectra were recorded with pulsed excitation. Quantum yields of fluorescence and phosphorescence were estimated by absolute quantum yields and deconvoluted photoluminescence spectra with multi-component Gaussian functions.
