Flash photolysis and transient absorption techniques show that the yield of photoinduced double ET depends on laser intensity in the two largest dendrimers, NBV2(+2) and NBV3(+2). Their photochemical behavior thus requires an unusual multiphoton kinetic scheme. These dendrimers constitute the first synthetic models capable of multiple electron redox events deriving from a defined molecular architecture, thus mimicking natural light-collecting antenna systems.}, number={28}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY}, author={Ghaddar, TH and Wishart, JF and Thompson, DW and Whitesell, JK and Fox, MA}, year={2002}, month={Jul}, pages={8285–8289} }

Intense excimer emission was observed for the third-generation dendrimer 3 but not for the first-generation dendrimer 1a. This different spectroscopic behavior was attributed to the geometry of dendrimer 3, where excimeric interactions between adjacent π-stacked naphthyl groups are present.}, number={37}, journal={JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B}, author={Ghaddar, TH and Whitesell, JK and Fox, MA}, year={2001}, month={Sep}, pages={8729–8731} }
