The fluorescence of 6-aminocoumarine (A6C) is very weak and anomalously redshifted as compared to its 7-substituted analogues 4-methyl-7-aminocoumarine (A7C) and 4-methyl-7-diethylaminocoumarine (DEA7C). The solvatochromic redshift in homologous alcohols is much stronger for A6C, pointing to an increased dipole moment of the emitting state. A twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state with full charge separation is made responsible for this emission. This is rationalized by molecules-in-molecules calculations. The strong Stokes shift in n-hexane and in ethanol glass at 77 K suggests that A6C emits from a TICT state even under these conditions.
