文摘

We have examined the photon statistics of single tetrahedral based oligophenylenevinylene (TOPV) molecules using photon pair correlation spectroscopy (PPCS). The second-order correlation function g⁽²⁾(τ) can be obtained from PPCS and the value of g⁽²⁾(τ) at small τ can be used to quantify the number of chromophores involved in emission. Comparison of g⁽²⁾(τ) obtained from OPV `arms' versus TOPV revealed limited interchromophore coupling in TOPV. Unlike previous studies on interchromophore coupling in organic semiconductors, TOPV molecules are able to sustain simultaneous emission from multiple arms.
