Abstract
Excitation and dispersed fluorescence spectra of 9,9’‐bianthracene in a supersonic expansion are reported. The spectra are anthracene‐like, indicating that the rings are weakly coupled. Exciton effects are considered in the interpretation of the spectra. The torsional potential in S_1 is modeled as a double‐well (Gaussian perturbation on a one‐dimensional harmonic oscillator) with barriers to perpendicularity and planarity of ∼30 and ∼1100 cm^(−1), respectively. The S_0 torsional potential shows negative anharmonicity which is modeled as a quartic perturbation. Anthracenic modes in S_1 and S_0 are also assigned. Finally, measurements of S_1 fluorescence lifetimes up to ∼6000 cm^(−1) excess energy in the excited state show no evidence of charge transfer.
