A series of poly(aryl ether) dendrimers Gn-NA (n = 1−4), generations 1−4, containing a naphthyl core group were synthesized. The steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence studies reveal that Gn-NA (n = 1, 2) take a loose structure and Gn-NA (n = 3, 4) bear a more congested structure, which undergo the singlet electron transfer process in dichloromethane from dendritic backbone to the naphthyl group. As a consequence of the electron transfer process, an intramolecular exciplex is formed between the core naphthyl chromophore and the benzyloxy unit of dendritic backbone in G3-NA and G4-NA. Fluorescence measurements in the dichloromethane−acetonitrile binary solvents validate that the intramolecular exciplex formation can be enhanced by the folding back conformation of dendrimers.
