  1. [a]Average values of absorption wavelengths (nm) at different concentrations. The intensities are reported in brackets, the units are M−1cm−1 × 103. In Toluene and DMF, the λ1 is not visible for the cut off of the solvents. [b]Emission generated from excitation at the λ2 of absorption and concentrations ~2–5 × 10−6 M. [c]Quantum yield measured at concentrations ~5 × 10−6 M, as reference Phenothiazine was used which value of Φ is 0.0156.
