Abstract: The photophysical properties of 2-phenyl-4-(4’-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-(4’-chlorophenyl)pyrylium tetrafluoborate were studied in 1,2-dichloroethane and PMMA film respectively. It is shown that both intramolecular charge transfer and energy transfer occur in excited state in 1,2-dichloroethane and PMMA film. The difference between them is that in 1,2-dichloroethane the fluorescence emission corresponding to X-axis is detected only and the fluorescence emission from Y-axis is completely quenched due to the formation of TICT (twisted intramolecular charge transfer). Whereas, the fluorescence emissions corresponding to both X-axis and Y-axis are observed in PMMA film. This indicates that the TICT formation could not be formed in excited state under the conformation constrained condition.

Key words: pyrylium salt, intramolecular charge transfer, intramolecular energy transfer, conformation constrained condition, photophysical property
