With the aim of constructing efficient photoelectric organic materials, a pyrido[3,2-g]quinoline derivative named LA17b has been synthesized, and its photodynamic relaxation processes in solvents and films were studied by time-resolved fluorescence and femtosecond transient absorption techniques. The steady-state fluorescence spectra show pronounced red-shift with the increase of the solvent polarity as well as in binary solvent hexane/ethanol by increasing ethanol concentration. However, the strong red-shift does not lead to quenching of the fluorescence. This is explained in terms of a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state. The TICT state of LA17b in ethanol is highly emissive with a long fluorescence lifetime: 1.1 ns. TICT state was shown to play an important role in enhancement of intersystem crossing rate. TD-DFT calculations confirm the pathways of relaxation of locally excited state via TICT and triplet states. In films, the photodynamic properties are similar to that of LA17b in hexane and the TICT state vanishes due to the rigid environment. The obtained optical properties of this molecule suggest that it can be a promising candidate for various optoelectronic applications.read more
