title: Photophysical properties of a tetraphenoxy-substituted perylene bisimide derivative characterized by single-molecule spectroscopy.
abstract: We present a detailed study of the photophysical properties of a tetraphenoxy-substituted perylene bisimide derivative. The probe molecules were immobilized in a Shpol'skii matrix of hexadecane and investigated by single-molecule spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures. By using single-molecule spectroscopic techniques we reveal the triplet substate kinetics and the fluorescence quantum yield, and we provide an estimate for the S1-S0 transition dipole moment.
