Sy. Goldberg et al., SOLVATION DYNAMICS OF LDS 750 IN ASSOCIATIVE LIQUIDS BY DEGENERATE 4-WAVE-MIXING AND TIME-RESOLVED EMISSION TECHNIQUES, Chemical physics, 183(2-3), 1994, pp. 217-233
We developed theoretically and experimentally the principles of a spec
troscopical method based on resonance transient population gratings fo
r a quantitative description of solvation dynamics of large molecules
in liquid solutions. The solvation dynamics of LDS 750 in methanol, 1,
2-ethanediol, 1,3-propanediol and 1,4-butanediol have been measured ov
er four time decades from 100 fs to 1000 ps. The solvation dynamics of
LDS 750 in all solvents consists of ultrafast as well as slow compone
nts.
