Abstract:
In this thesis the optical properties of molecular aggregates of Hexa-peri-benzocoronene
derivatives are investigated for evidence of Frenkel Exciton Resonance (FER). Using
photo-luminescence and optical absorption measurement techniques the HBC
derivatives are observed, in the optical spectra, to aggregate in solution to form ordered
Molecular Self-Assemblies (MSAs). The change from isolated to aggregated form gives
rise to spectroscopic signatures that are best explained by FER. The determination that
the low concentration species is the isolated molecule allows the photo-physics of
isolated and aggregated molecules to be compared.
