通过具有偏振选择性的紫外/红外混频超快光谱探测有机光电薄膜中的相对分子取向

分子堆积模式是决定电子/能量转移过程的关键因素，影响有机薄膜器件的光电特性. 本文通过具有偏振选择性的紫外/红外混频超快光谱研究了7-(二乙氨基)香豆素-3-羧酸和苝两种有机分子的薄膜. 并利用分子间能量/电子转移引起的信号各向异性变化来计算供体的电子跃迁偶极矩与受体的振动跃迁偶极矩之间的夹角，从而得出两个相邻分子之间的相对取向. 用这种方法测得7-(二乙氨基)香豆素-3-羧酸薄膜的相对取向角为53.4o，接近其单晶结构的60o，苝薄膜的相对取向角为6.2o，也接近其单晶结构的-0.2o. 除了实验中的不确定性，这种方法确定的角度与单晶的角度之间的微小差异还可能源于薄膜样品是多晶的，且其中一些分子是无定形的.

Relative Molecular Orientations in Organic Optoelectronic Films Probed via Polarization-Selected UV/IR Mixed Frequency Ultrafast Spectroscopy

Molecular packing patterns are crucial factors determining elec-tron/energy transfer processes that are critical for the opto-electronic properties of organic thin film devices. Herein, the polarization-selective ultraviolet/infrared (UV/IR) mixed frequency ultrafast spectroscopy is applied to investigate the relative molecular orientations in two organic thin films of 7-(diethylamino)coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (DEAC) and perylene. The signal anisotropy changes caused by intermolecular energy/electron transfers are utilized to calculate the cross angles between the electronic transition dipole moment of the donor and the vibrational transition dipole moments of the acceptor, yielding the relative orientation between two adjacent molecules. Using this method, the relative orientation angle in DEAC film is determined to be 53.4o, close to 60o of its single crystalline structure, and that of the perylene film is determined to be 6.2o, also close to -0.2o of its single crystalline structure. Besides experimental uncertainties, the small difference between the angles determined by this method and those of single crystals also results from the fact that the thin film samples are polycrystalline where some of the molecules are amorphous.
