51. Femtosecond transient absorption spectra of aggregates of reference PDI were previously obtained in water.(28) Aggregation in water drastically reduced the lifetime of excited states of monomer PDI. Despite the quenching, those of the stacked PDIs provide sufficient lifetimes for photoinduced processes with closely positioned donor components. Also, the formation of the excited states of PDI stacks are quite fast and exciton-exciton annihilation is not observed because the reference PDI, excited by femtosecond laser pulses in water, does not show excitation power dependence on the transient absorption decay profiles (Figure S9, SI).
