Electron affinities and lowest triplet and singlet state properties of -oligophenylenes ( = 3-5): theory and experiment
We apply photodetachment-photoelectron spectroscopy to measure the electron affinities and the energetics of the lowest excited electronic states of the neutral molecules para -terphenyl (p3P), para -quaterphenyl (p4P) and para -quinquephenyl (p5P), including especially the triplet states below S 1...

Abstract | We apply photodetachment-photoelectron spectroscopy to measure the electron affinities and the energetics of the lowest excited electronic states of the neutral molecules
para
-terphenyl (p3P),
para
-quaterphenyl (p4P) and
para
-quinquephenyl (p5P), including especially the triplet states below S
1
. The interpretation of the experimental data is based on the comparison to calculated 0-0 energies and Dyson norms, using density functional theory and multireference configuration interaction methods, as well as Franck-Condon patterns. The comparison between calculated and experimental vibrational fine-structures reveals a twisted benzoid-like molecular structure of the S
0
ground state and nearly planar quinoid-like nuclear arrangements in the S
1
and T
1
excited states as well as in the D
0
anion ground state. For all
para
-oligophenylenes (ppPs) in this series, at least two triplet states have been identified in the energy regime below the S
1
state. The large optical S
0
-S
1
cross sections of the ppPs are rationalised by the nodal structure of the molecular orbitals involved in the transition. The measured electron affinities range from 380 meV (p3P) over 620 meV (p4P) to 805 meV (p5P). A saturation of the electron binding energy with the increasing number of phenyl units is thus not yet in sight.
We apply photodetachment-photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum chemistry to determine the electron affinities and the energetics of the lowest excited electronic states of para-oligophenylenes, including especially the triplet states below S
