Abstract

-4-dimethylamino-4′cyanostilbene)molecules, which present two isomers in different amounts when immersed in a polymer matrix. Thanks to this new relaxation pathway, the photoexcitation that is first shared by the common polaritonic mode is then selectively funneled to the excited states of one of the isomers, recognizing pure emission from the isomeric states that do not contribute to emission under normal conditions.
