Abstract
The fluorescence properties of coronene (Co), benzo[a]coronene (BCo), naphtho[2,3-a]coronene (NCo), dibenzo[a,j]coronene (DCo), naphtho[1,2,3,4-ghi]perylene, benzo[pqr]naphtho[8,1,2-bcd]perylene and dibenzo[cd,lm]perylene dissolved in solvents of varying polarity are reported. Measurements indicated that the emission intensities of the four coronene derivatives depended on solvent polarity. The Co, BCo and NCo scales have been defined as the ratio of the fluorescence intensities of bands I and III of the vibronic spectra. Band III of dibenzo[a,j]coronene was not clearly identifiable in all the solvents studied, and the DCo scale was therefore defined as the intensity ratio of bands I and IV. Emission intensity ratios of the three perylene derivatives remained nearly constant, irrespective of solvent polarity.
