AbstractThe fluorescence properties of trans-4-cyano-4′-dimethylaminostilbene (trans-1) and a rigid analogue, in which the dimethylaminophenyl group is replaced by an indoline ring, trans-l-(4-cyanophenyl)-2-(5-[2,3-dihydro]N-methylindolyl)ethylene (trans-2) were studied in 20 solvents. The quantum yields of fluorescence (Φf) and of trans→cis photoisomerization (Φt→c) as well as the fluorescence maximum (ν̃f) and the bandwidth (⊿ν̃f) were examined. The activation energies (range: 3.5-7.8 kcal/mol) obtained from <2>f and <£t_c measurements are nearly the same for 1 and 2 in a given solvent. Φf , ν̃f and ⊿ν̃f as a function of solvent polarity and temperature show similar trends for 1 and 2. No dual emission was observed for either of the cyanostilbenes. These findings indicate that a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state is not involved in the relaxation process of the first excited trans singlet state (1t*). The main deactivation pathway of 1t* competing with fluorescence is trans→cis photoisomerization by twisting about the C = C double bond in the first excited singlet state for both.

The absorption and fluorescence spectra of umbelliferone were studied; it was found that in the excited state the basicity of the α-pyrone part of the molecule increases to such an extent that it exceeds that of the phenolate oxygen of the molecule. This is responsible for the neutral nondissociated form of umbelliferone being only in nonpolar medium which prevents the dissociation of the phenolic group in the excited state. In nonpolar medium, umbelliferone behaves as a substance with closely lying π → π* and n → π* transitions. Hydrogen bonds affect the fluorescence of 7-methoxycoumarin so that the π → π* transition is preserved as the lowest excited singlet state.
