Abstract:
Effects of pressure on solvation dynamics and rotational dynamics in solution were studied by picosecond time-dependent fluorescence Stokes shift (TDFSS) and picosecond time-dependent fluorescence rotational depolarization (TDFRD). The fluorescence lifetimes of solute probes, coumarin 153 and p -terphenyl, in various solvents were measured at high pressures by time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) technique with time resolution of 20-30 ps.
