title: Synthesis and optical properties of unsymmetrical conjugated dendrimers focally anchored with perylenes in different geometries.
abstract: Two sets of light-harvesting monodendrons with unsymmetrical conjugated phenylacetylene branches and perylene cores, one with pi-conjugation from the branches to the core and one without, were synthesized and their photophysical properties were studied by steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic methods. These monodendrons show comparably high fluorescence quantum yields and efficient energy-transfer properties.
