21. For the reasons discussed in the text, the band gap deduced by using benzene as the solvent may be subject to corrections that are difficult to calculate but can only increase the value of the band gap. Our value of 2.6 eV for the band gap cannot underestimate the true band gap by more than ∼0.2 eV since the steady-state luminescence experiments were performed with an excitation wavelength of 450 nm (photon energy of 2.75 eV). If the band gap were larger than 2.75 eV, electron-hole pairs would not be generated, and no luminescence could be detected.
