AbstractIn addition to the commonly observed single molecule fluorescence intensity fluctuations due to molecular reorientation dynamics, a perylene bisimide-calixarene compound (1) shows additional on-off fluctuations due to its ability to undergo intramolecular excited state electron transfer (PET). This quenching process is turned on rather sharply when a film of poly(vinylacetate) containing 1 is heated above its glass transition temperature (T g), which indicates that the electron transfer process depends on the availability of sufficient free volume. Spatial heterogeneities cause different individual molecules to reach the electron transfer regime at different temperatures, but these heterogeneities also fluctuate in time: in the matrix above T g molecules that are mostly nonfluorescent due to PET can become fluorescent again on timescales of seconds to minutes.The two different mechanisms for intensity fluctuation, rotation and PET, thus far only observed in compound 1, make it a unique probe for the dynamics of supercooled liquids.

The first mechanical relaxation measurements (f = 400 Hz) of water confined in micro-porous silica were performed more than 40 years ago. The authors reported a so called “capillary transition” (here denoted as P3) of water in the core of the pores and a second one at a lower temperature, which they called the “adsorbate transition” (P1 in present work) related to water near the surface of the pores. The capillary transition was identified with the freezing of water in the centre of the pores. However, even 40 years later, the origin of the adsorbate transition is not yet clear. One study relates it to the liquid-to-glass transition of the supercooled water in the pores, and another study to the freezing of the proton reorientations at the lattice defects. The present work shows the data from extensive dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) measurements (f = 0.1 Hz–70 Hz) of water confined in mesoporous silica (d = 2.5, 5 and 10 nm), which are in favour of a liquid-to-glass scenario.
