Abstract: | The authors compare the results of fluorescence anisotropy decay measurements for glycerol solutions of perylene with those of 3,9-dibromoperylene (DBP). For both molecules a good linear dependence is observed between the glycerol viscosity (varied by temperature) and the longer rotational correlation time obtained as a result of a global (using data obtained at 256- and 430-nm excitation wavelengths) biexponential analysis of the fluorescence anisotropy decay, at least in the range of 7–60 P for perylene and 4–60 P for DBP. This significantly extends the reported range of 0.5 to 150 cP investigated by Williams and Ben-Amotz [1] with the probe BTBP. |
