Abstract
A study of photophysics and photochemistry of 1-pheny-2-pyrrolidinone (PPd) in different solvents and temperatures using, photoluminescence spectroscopy is reported here. The shift of absorption peak and dramat ic decrease in the fluorescence yield of PPd in ethanol (EtOH) with re spect to methylcyclohexane (MCH) establish the hydrogen bonding with p rotic solvent. At very high concentration. PPd in excited state takes part in a reversible photo-reaction and produces multi-component fluor escent species.
