We investigated energy- and electron-transfer processes in organic donor-acceptor dyads with complementary spectroscopic techniques. In these dyads, a triphenyldiamine (TPD) donor was linked to a perylenebisimide (PBI) acceptor by a flexible, non-conjugated bridge. Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy revealed a quenching of the donor emission, accompanied by a corresponding rise of the acceptor fluorescence. Additionally, we found a second quenching process affecting the acceptor fluorescence. The length as well as the chemical structure of the bridge between the donor and acceptor moieties were found to have a strong impact on the rates of both quenching processes while changing the solvent influenced mainly the rate of acceptor quenching. The possibility of an electron-transfer process from PBI to TPD being responsible for the additional acceptor quenching has been studied by transient absorption spectroscopy.
