Abstract

The photo-induced relaxation of p-dimethylaminocyanostilbene (DCS) in acetonitrile was studied with broadband transient fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy. The dynamic Stokes shift of fluorescence was measured to be 4000 cm−1. The ‘dual fluorescence’ of DCS, reported previously, is shown to be an artefact resulting from excited state re-absorption of fluorescence. The shift has a characteristic time of 100 fs and is governed by solvation in acetonitrile. Together with results from quantum chemical calculations it is concluded that twisted intramolecular charge transfer does not contribute measurably to the evolution of fluorescence and that the dynamic Stokes shift reflects pure polar solvation.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
