Abstract
The experimental study of the fluorescence spectrum of 4-acetyldiphenylsuif ide reveals a dual fluorescence due to the presence of the normal singlet a nd a twisted conformation implying a charge transfer. AM1 calculations on t he ground and excited state potential energy surfaces support this assignme nt by predicting the existence of a polar twisted stale which can be stabil ised by solvation to reach an energy only 2 kcal/mol higher than the normal singlet state and consequently could be implied in the emission properties .
