Abstract

We report on the transient and steady-state optical responses of the chromophore 2, 2'- bithiophene-5, 5'-diylbis (phosphonic acid)(BDP) incorporated within a single zirconium- phosphonate layer as a function of chromophore density. While the dilute solution optical response of BDP reveals no anomalous behavior, its characteristics are substantially different when confined within a monolayer. We vary the concentrations of layer ...
