Journal ArticleDOI
Time-resolved spectroscopic measurements on microscopic solvation dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the use of transient fluorescence spectroscopy of polar aromatics in solution was investigated as a method to determine microscopic solvation dynamics, and it was shown that the compounds previously employed as polar fluorescent probes tend to fall into three photophysical classes depending upon: (i) whether the photon induced change in μ occurs simultaneously with photon absorption (ii) whether solvent motion subsequent to photon absorption is required to induce the change inμ; or (iii) whether two excited-state isomers with different μ's are present simultaneously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Femtosecond resolved solvation dynamics in polar solvents
TL;DR: In this paper, the transient solvation of a polar fluorescent probe has been studied by the time resolved Stokes shift technique with roughly five times shorter time resolution than previously reported, and the observed C(t) has been compared to theoretical calculations using the dielectric continuum (DC) model for each solvent.
Journal ArticleDOI
A photodynamical model for the excited state electron transfer of bianthryl and related molecules
TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-empirical comprehensive theoretical model for the reaction coordinate energy profile and the dynamics along the reaction coordinates along with femtosecond fluorescence data on bianthryl was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transient solvation of polar dye molecules in polar aprotic solvents
TL;DR: Nagarajan et al. as discussed by the authors used a newly constructed subpicosecond ultraviolet emission apparatus that takes advantage of recent advances in ultrafast laser technology to measure the microscopic solvation response functions.
