Electric Field Dependence of the Fluorescence Intensity of Solute Molecules and Fourth Order Effects
Abstract The effect of an external electric field on the total fluorescence of solute molecules is studied up to fourth order theoretically, and is checked experimentally with 4´-N,N-dimethylamino- 4-nitrostilbene in dioxane at room temperature.
Considerations on the dipole moment of molecules forming the twisted intramolecular charge transfer state
Several derivatives of dual-fluorescing dimethylaminobenzonitrile (DMABN) are compared regarding their ground and excited-state dipole moments extracted from electro-optical emission and solvatochromic measurements. The comparison includes bridged model compounds as well as compounds with different degrees of steric hindrance to planarity, as well as ester and carbazolyl derivatives. The results are discussed on the basis of the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) model, the most widely accepted model. They show that (i) the dipole moment of the A (TICT) state (long-wavelength band) shows only little solvent sensitivity (polarizability), (ii) this observed small dependence of the …
