Abstract

The fluorescence behaviour of tetraphenylporphyrin appended cellulose strands in chloroform is studied by weak cw excitation and intense picosecond laser pulse excitation (wavelength lambda(L) = 347.15 nm, duration Deltat(L) = 35 ps). With rising pump pulse energy density, a reduction of the fluorescence efficiency and a shortening of the fluorescence signal decay time are observed. The energy density dependent fluorescence quenching is analysed in terms of intra-strand singlet exciton-singlet exciton annihilation. The annihilation constant is determined and a critical singlet exciton number density (N-ex,N-ann = 4.8 x 10(19) cm(-3)) as well as a critical fraction of excited repeat units (f(RU,ann) = 0.1) for annihilation are determined. Additionally the excited-state absorption cross-section, sigma(ex,L), at the pump laser wavelength, lambda(L), is determined by energy density dependent transmission measurements and is found to be approximately equal to the ground-state absorption, sigma(L), at lambda(L). The small-signal fluorescence quantum distribution, fluorescence quantum yield (phi(F) = 0.072), and degree of fluorescence polarisation (P-F = 0.04) are determined by cw fluorimetry. The emitting exciton size is found to be equal to the repeat-unit size of the cellulose strands. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
