Abstract
Short thiophene oligomers (named nT, n: number of monomer units) especially bithiophene (2T) and terthiophene (3T) exhibit surprising high triplet quantum yields (up to 0.99 in 2T and 0.95 in 3T). These high triplet yields are responsible for their phototoxity and their usage as photosensitizers. To explain the fast process of triplet formation, we investigated these molecules by means of fs- time-resolved spectroscopy in dependence of excitation wavelength.
