Organic-inorganic hybrid systems have gained increasing interest due to their versatile applications, e.g., as organic solar cells, biosensors, light emitting devices, or molecular electronics. Our research focuses on polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) due to their characteristically high fluorescence yield and the possibility to tune their photophysical and electrochemical properties. SiC substrates are functionalized with aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) molecules by a siloxane bond. The benzo[ghi]perylene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride is then bound covalently to the APTES via imide bonds. Covalent attachment of the dye to the surface is verified by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy. UV absorption and time-resolved fluorescence and two-photon photoemission spectroscopy (TR-2PPE) measurements have been performed, yielding lifetimes between τ1=1.4 to 1.8 ns and τ2=4.3 to 4.7 ns for the fluorescence and τ=84 fs for the TR-2PPE measurement.
