Perylene diimides (PDI) are commonly used as dyes but are also viable candidates for devices such as organic field-effect transistors and organic photovoltaics. We study a series of PDI samples by time-resolved photoluminescence and transient absorption measurements to identify the relaxation mechanisms following fs-optical excitation. Here, photoinduced electron transfer (PET) can occur. Following a high-energy excitation, an electron from the lone pair of the diimide is transferred to the HOMO of the perylene core, hence disallowing radiative recombination. By introducing alkyle groups as spacer units the distance between electron donor and the fluorophore is increased. Therefore, the distant distance dependent PET is altered, leading to a reduced PET efficiency and hence changed decay rates.
