By means of photon‐correlation, the emission characteristics of macrocyclic para‐xylylene linked perylene bisimide (PBI) trimers and tetramers dispersed in polymethyl methacrylate matrices are analyzed. The optical data indicate that, despite of the strong emission enhancement of PBI trimers and tetramers according to their larger number of chromophores, the photon‐correlation statistics still obeys that of single photon emitters. Moreover, driving PBI trimers and tetramers at higher excitation powers, saturated emission behavior for monomers is found while macrocycle emission is still far‐off saturation but shows enhanced fluctuations. This observation is attributed to fast singlet–singlet annihilation, i.e., faster than the radiative lifetime of the excited S1 state, and the enlarged number of conformational arrangements of multichromophores in the polymeric host. Finally, embedding trimeric PBI macrocycles in active organic light‐emitting diode matrices, electrically driven bright fluorescence together with an indication for antibunching at room temperature can be detected. This, so far, has only been observed for phosphorescent emitters that feature much longer lifetimes of the excited states and, thus, smaller radiative recombination rates. The results are discussed in the context of possible effects on the g(2) behavior of molecular emitters.

Der erste Themenschwerpunkt der Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit einem supramolekularen Makrozyklus, der drei Rutheniummetallzentren enthält. Dieser neuartige Katalysator zeigt eine sehr hohe katalytische Aktivität und gewährt neue Einblicke in den Mechanismus der Wasseroxidationsreaktion. Des Weiteren wird auf die mit Licht interagierenden Komponenten der photokatalytischen Wasseroxidation eingegangen. Hierbei haben sich azabenz-anellierte Perylenderivate als vielseitige Farbstoffklasse herausgestellt. Die Kombination dieser Farbstoffe mit Metallkomplexen liefert metallorganische Verbindungen, die als Photosensibilisatoren eingesetzt werden können. N2 - The thesis discusses aspects of the photocatalytic water oxidation reaction. The first chapter deals with a supramolecular macrocycle which contains three ruthenium metal centers. This novel catalyst shows promising catalytic activity and provides insides into the mechanism of the water oxidation reaction. After this part, the focus lies on the light interacting components of the photocatalytic water oxidation. In this regard, the azabenz-annulated perylene derivatives appeared to be a promising dye class. The combination of these chromophores and metal complexes result in metal organic compounds, which have photosensitizer potential.
