Cruciform pi-systems: effect of aggregation on emission.
The solid state properties of cruciform pentamers are examined in thin film preparation, in the single crystalline state and in nanoparticle formulations; emission behavior was found to vary substantially with the solid state morphology. This type of behaviour is an excellent way to manipulate the emissive properties of conjugated [small pi]-systems.
