Derivatives of N-phenyl pyrrole with a para-donor substituent on the acceptor benzene ring are compared. It is shown that by a suitable increase of the donor strength of the pyrrolo group, CT fluorescence can be achieved even for donor-donor substituted benzenes. On the other hand, introducing fluoro substituents into the acceptor moiety strongly enhances the CT formation tendency, and several new compounds with CT fluorescence even in alkane solvents are presented.


Fluorescence excitation spectra of the ion-molecule complexes C 6 F+6•X n (X = He, Ne, Ar or N 2 ) are reported. It is shown that such data can be used to test model potentials for these complexes. For n = 1 and X = He and Ne, a simple long-range model of the interaction potential is nearly adequate, but for X = Ar it appears that a substantial charge-transfer component to the interaction is required.

Rate constants, kq, for the quenching of the singlet state of benzene, toluene, p-xylene, fluorobenzene, trifluoromethyl benzene, p-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene, and aniline by CCl4, CH3CCl3, CHCl3, and CFCl3, in the gas phase have been determined. In each instance the quenching is via a charge-transfer complex with the aromatic acting as donor. There is a linear dependence between ln kq and IP (ionization potential) of the aromatics which supports Klein's model for exciplex formation. The most effective quencher is CCl4 while the least effective is CFCl3. The most effective donor was aniline while the least effective one was p-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene. In general, fluorinated aromatics are less effective donors than the corresponding protonated molecules.
