Many acceptor/donor systems can form excited-state charge-transfer complexes (exciplexes) in photo-induced electron transfer reactions. Exciplex can be detected by their luminescence. In addition, the exciplex luminescence is magneto-sensitive. Here, we employ an approach based on the magnetic field effect on the exciplex of 9,10- dimethylanthracene/N,N-dimethylaniline pair in micro-homogeneous and micro-heterogeneous binary solvents to investigate the effects of the preferential solvation processes on solute molecules in solutions. Micro-homogeneous solvent mixtures of propyl acetate (PA)/butyronitrile (BN) allow for a systematic variation of the static dielectric constants, s , in the range from 6.0 to 24.6. The mixtures of toluene (TO)/dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) with varying the s values in the range from 4.3 to 15.5 are used as micro-heterogeneous binary solvents. In micro-heterogeneous environment, DMSO molecules get preferentially favoured in the solvation shell, forming micro-clusters surrounding the solute molecules. This solvation effect is reflected in the altered magnetic field effects, lifetimes and dissociation rate constants of the exciplexes.

Solvent effects on 2,6-dichloro-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-pyridinium-1-yl)phenolate [ET (33) dye] and 7- diethylamino-3,4-benzophenoxazine-2-one (Nile Red) in binary mixtures of organic solvents (acetone, acetonitrile, propylene carbonate, methanol and ethane-1,2-diol) with 1,3-dialkyl imidazoliumbased ionic liquids were studied by UV-visible spectroscopy. Highly nonlinear behaviour of mixtures of alcohols and ionic liquids was found. A preferential solvation model was applied to the data obtained on solvatochromic shifts over the entire mixing range. It is fitting the data well for alcohol mixtures and for other solvent mixtures with different ionic liquids.
