The photophysical properties of mixed coaggregates containing 1,4-dicyanonaphthalene (DCN) and 1,3,5-triphenyl-2-pyrazoline (TPP) have been studied. The absorption spectra of mixed coaggregates indicate thata charge-transfer complex is not formed in the ground state between DCN and TPP. The fluorescence of TPPin the mixed coaggregates is quenched by DCN, accompanied with a broad and structureless emission atabout 560 nm from an exciplex between DCN and TPP. The color of the emission from mixed coaggregatesis tunable by changing the DCN content. The excited-state properties of the TPP-DCN molecule pair areinvestigated theoretically with a quantum chemistry method. The theoretical results have also confirmed thatthe broad emission at about 560 nm in the mixed coaggregates originates from the exciplex rather than fromthe charge-transfer complex.
