Abstract
The molecular origin of the temperature-dependent emission lineshapes and linewidths in a model system of a rigid-rod ladder-phenylene molecular host, was analyzed. The investigated system consists of a five-ring ladder-type paraphenylene oligomer host incorporated into an inert polystyrene matrix doped with a molecular guest that has a high luminescence quantum yield. The temperature-dependent homogeneous broadening in the phenylene-based five-ring ladder-type paraphenylene oligomer host (5LOPP) has been rationalized in terms of coupling of the electronic excitations to specific low-frequency vibrational modes. The results show that this model provides an unambiguous correlation between the T-dependent spectral lineshapes and the diffusion dynamics.
