in solution and in the solid state. Depending on the substituents at the imide nitrogen atom, their fluorescence spectra varied in the
solid state. However, their spectra in solution were almost identical. In solution, emission corresponding to a naphthalene−anthracene
exciplex was observed. In contrast, the imides possessing an intermolecular anthracene−anthracene interaction exhibited red-shifted
fluorescence in the solid state. This red-shifted fluorescence could originate in an anthracene excimer or the exciplex formed from
a sum of fluorophores. In contrast, compounds without this anthracene−anthracene interaction in the solid state had very similar
solution and solid-state fluorescence spectra.
