Perylene derivatives form an important model system for studies of electron transfer (ET) in (molecular) donor-acceptor dye systems. Here, we introduce highly soluble perylene dihydrazides (PDH). We compare the PDH electron-transfer dynamics with a series of bisalkylperylene diimides. Time-resolved photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy (PLE) measurements are performed. All samples show non-single-exponential decay dynamics. A rate-equation analysis including a shallow shelving state is able to reproduce the experimental data. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations of the triplet states supported by PLE measurements give evidence of rapid forward and reverse intersystem-crossing between the emissive and the triplet state.
