Theory of solvatochromic shifts in nonpolar solvents reveals a new spectroscopic rule.
An expression of unexpected simplicity is derived for the shift in optical transition energies of solute molecules in nonpolar solvents. The expression reveals a new spectroscopic rule that says: The higher the excited state of the solute, the larger the solvatochromic red shift. A puzzle formulated >50 years ago by Bayliss is solved. Bayliss, based on arguments from classical physics, assumed ...
متن کاملSolvatochromic shifts of single-walled carbon nanotubes in nonpolar microenvironments.
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are encapsulated with microenvironments of nonpolar solvent, providing a new method to measure the photophysical properties of nanotubes in environments with known properties. Photoluminescence (PL) and absorbance spectra of SWNTs show solvatochromic shifts in 16 nonpolar solvents, which are proportional to the solvent induction polarization. The shifts in...

متن کاملCharge stabilization in nonpolar solvents.
While the important role of electrostatic interactions in aqueous colloidal suspensions is widely known and reasonably well-understood, their relevance to nonpolar suspensions remains mysterious. We measure the interaction potentials of colloidal particles in a nonpolar solvent with reverse micelles. We find surprisingly strong electrostatic interactions characterized by surface potentials, |ez...
متن کاملA new solvatochromic fluorophore for exploring nonpolar environments created by biopolymers.
The fluorescence of a new aminocyanonaphthalene exhibits exquisite sensitivity to its environment and responds to a solvent change from water to hexane with greater than a 100-fold increase in intensity and 100 nm shift in λ(max.em). These properties should support many applications including the detection of abasic sites within duplex DNA as illustrated below.
