Substituent-induced coupling of the two lowest excited singlet states of 2-methoxy-derivatives of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)- and 4-(N-methylamino)benzoni…

The title compounds both exhibit strong features of interaction of their two lowest excited states, but only one of them, the dimethylamino derivative, exhibits dual fluorescence. This is a direct indication that state interaction and dual fluorescence are not directly related.
