Abstract
Intramolecular electronic energy transfer (intra-EET) is reviewed through examples concerning the bichromophoric naphthalene (N) and anthracene (A) system as well as the aromatic-dione system. In addition the effect of the connecting bridge, embedment in stretched films and the possibility of building logic functions based on such interactions are discussed
