a

The wavelength in bold indicates the major signal.

b

Calculated from the long-wavelength absorption edge (Eg(opt) = 1240/λonest).

c

Obtained by exciting each absorption maximum.

d

Calculated using integration sphere (conc ∼6 × 10–6).

e

Stokes shift in nm is calculated as the difference between absorption and emission maxima.53

f

Stokes shift in cm–1 is calculated as the difference between lowest energy absorption band and emission maximum.

g

Cor = corannulene.

h

sh = shoulder.
