Triphenylmethane Dyes Revealing Heterogeneity of Their Nanoenvironment: Femtosecond, Picosecond, and Single-Molecule Studies

Abstract

This article describes several lines of our recent work on pico- and femtosecond spectroscopy of triphenylmethane dyes. Furthermore, we reduced the number of molecules in the ensemble-averaged studies to the single-molecule regime. The single-molecule technique would allow us to reveal intrinsic characteristics of individual chromophores embedded in glass, polymers, and liquid.
