57. Only strong electrostatic interaction between electrochemically generated di-ions of opposite charges leads to excimer emission with a characteristic broad and red-shifted emission in sterically hindered phenylanthracene- functionalized spirobifluorenes; see: Sartin, M.; Shu. C; Bard, A. J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 5354.
58. The differences in the emission spectra for spin-coated and vacuum-deposited films point to differences in the molecular arrangements in the two films.

61. When the films were subjected to heat treatment (annealing) under vacuum, the emission intensity of the films was found to decrease considerably by 2-3-fold with a broadening in their spectral profiles. Presumably, the annealing leads to some kind of reorganization of the molecules within the amorphous film in a way that the emission is suppressed. That the thermal heating does not lead to recrystallization was established from powder XRD of the bimesitylenes 1 and 5 before and after annealing; cf. the SI.
