The typical errors (percent of value) of the photophysical properties are as follows: τS (±7%), Φf (±5%), Φisc (±15%), Φic (±20%), kf (±10%), kisc (±20%), kic (±25%). The error bars for τS, Φf, and Φisc were determined from select repeat measurements, and those for the Φic, kf, kisc and kic were obtained from propagation of errors.
The samples in water contained 5% DMF as a cosolvent.
Not examined due to low solubility.
