All reported values are the means for two to four experiments. The standard errors of the mean of the reported values are 8% for the QY, 10% for hypochromism, ± 0.1 ― 0.3 ns for τ1, ± 0.2 ― 0.8 ns for τ2, < 0.05 for the amplitudes (αi) and fractional intensities (fi). The radiative and non-radiative rate constants were calculated as described in Table 1.
