We studied the thermodynamics and kinetics of the para-fluorophenol (PFP) and the phosphate esters trimethyl phosphate (TMP), triethyl phosphate (TEP), and tributyl phosphate (TBP) hydrogen bond with static infrared and ultrafast laser spectroscopy. In CCl4, the enthalpy of hydr…

This thesis presents ultrafast photophysical measurements on a number of phosphorescent iridium complexes and establishes relationships between the relaxation rates and the vibrational properties of the material. When ultrafast luminescence is measured on the peak of the phospho…

Conjugated polymers are organic materials which are attractive as optoelectronic devices because they have a combination of broad band emission, high gain, versatility in processing, are ductile and can be electrically pumped. This thesis describes work conducted on such conjuga…
