Reorientation of hydrogen-bonded solvents around a large dipole Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Using picosecond spectroscopy, we find rise times R 20 ps for p-dimethylaminobenzonitrile S2 S0 fluorescence in the weakly hydrogen-bound alcohols 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol and 2-fluoroethanol. Since we previously obtained R 40 ps in methanol and ethanol, this provides evidence that hydrogen-bonding-retarded solvent reorientation largely governs the fluorescence in these solvents. 1974.
