24. Three crystallographically unique interactions were evident two CH⋯π interactions, with CH-aromatic centroid distances of 2.832 and 2.930 Å; and one π-stacking interaction with an aromatic centroid-centroid distance of 3.847 Å.

26. 13C NMR studies, were performed at much higher concentrations (3 mM) (76).
27. In-house studies of PBA excimer emission (470 nm) are in agreement with the literature for the parent pyrene molecule (25).
28. As the exciplex emission is quenched, its spectral maximum is also red shifted with the increase in microenvironmental polarity, in agreement the DMA-quenching literature (37).
29. -6 M PBA were diluted to volume (2.5 ml) with solvent and were analyzed within 30 min of preparation.

A slit width of 1 nm was used in the absorption measurements, and the emission settings were as follows: monochromator band passes of 2.5 nm, a step size of 2.5 nm, and scan rate of 120 nm/min. All spectra were absorption and/or blank corrected.
