91. 4 was chosen as a solvent because precipitation of compounds o2c and g2c is observed after approximately 30 min for the solution of both o2c and g2c in MCH, respectively.
92. 35 and the reduced absorption coefficient is attributed to the broadening of the absorption band due to the population of more conformations at higher temperature.
93. 4 at 343 K, a value of ε = 2.14 is given, and, accordingly, an increase of temperature between 293 and 343 K leads to a reduced permittivity of Δε ≈ 0.1, resulting in a hypsochromic shift of the band maximum of 3 nm from 523 nm (T = 293 K) to 520 nm (T = 343 K). Similar behavior is also found for compound gref (with 17 nm shift upon solvent change with Δε RS 0.2, and with 8 nm shift upon temperature change with Δε ≈ 0.1) and compound rref (with 11 nm shift upon solvent change with Δε ≈ 0.2, and with 5 nm shift upon temperature change with Δε ≈ 0.1). For temperature-dependent permittivity values, see CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 76th ed.; Lide, D. R., Ed.; CRC Press: Boca Raton, FL, 1995.
94. 24c In contrast, the orange reference compound oref reveals quantum yields of almost unity in all five solvents (see Table 1).

105. For all lifetimes determined for compounds g2c, gc, and gref, biexponential decays are observed. Accordingly, additional small components of ca. 0.5 ns are found for each compound independent of the solvent polarity and of the calix[4]arene substitution of the chromophore. The latter components are thus considered to be independent of the calix[4]arene substitution of the dye unit and are inherent to the green PBI chromophore itself (for details refer to Table 3).
