Abstract

The electronic excitation transfer and coherent electronic coupling strength were investigated in molecular dimers by spectrally resolved confocal fluorescence spectroscopy. The direct probe of electronic coupling strength distribution was possible due to static disorder in polymer host by single molecule measurements. The dimers with delocalized excitation were also found in comparison to emission originated from localized states. The delocalized and localized state transitions were observed for dimers which were attributed to structural fluctuations of guest-host system.
