Ultrafast photoinduced solute-solvent electron transfer: Configuration dependence
Ultrafast photoinduced electron transfer between excited oxazine-1 (OX1) dye and electron donating solvents aniline (AN) and N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) has been studied with the femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion technique. Ultrafast and highly nonexponential fluorescence decay of OX1 is observed in AN and DMA. The fastest component observed is about 60 fs in DMA and assigned to fluorescence quenching due to an electron transfer reaction. Fluorescence decays are observed to be strongly dependent on the wavelength of observation in DMA and moderately dependent in AN. The wavelength dependence is assigned to fluorescence from different configurations of OX1 and solvent molecules. The energy parameters for electron transfer are estimated and discussed.
