  1. aMeasured in DMF (10−5 M) under N2.
  2. bAbsolute fluorescence quantum yield determined using a calibrated integrating sphere.
  3. cMeasured in THF (10−5 M) under air and N2, respectively.
  4. dFilm drop-casted on a quartz plate.
  5. eEstimated from the onset of the UV/Vis absorption spectra.
  6. fEonset vs. Fc/Fc+ estimated by a CV method using a (Pt) disc electrode, Pt wire as a counter electrode, and Ag/AgNO3 as a reference electrode in DMF.
  7. gObtained from CV in DMF/n-Bu4NClO4 and estimated from LOMO = −(4.40 − Ereonset); HUMO = LOMO − Eg.
  8. hObtained from the absorption edge, Eg = 1240/λonset.
  9. iObtained from DFT calculations.
