15 Conclusion The authors synthesized a multichromophoric system as a candidate for single photon source and measured the property of the emission. Steady state and time-resolved ensemble measurement revealed that charge transfer can take place in the multi-chromophoric compound in relatively polar environment; polarity affects the emission property of compound A. The time-resolved measurement also suggested that energy- migration as well as the charge transfer. The efficient energy migration was confirmed by measuring the photon-antibunching of compound; the compound worked as “single photon emitter”.
