Diffusion of excited states

The rapid decay of absorption of excited states on the ps time scale has been measured for pyrazolotriazole azomethine dyes. The molecular orientation dynamics of polar dye probes in t-butanol-water mixtures have been determined by ps fluorescence depolarization spectroscopy. Dyes studied in this investigation were the monocations nile blue and thionine, resorufin a monoanion, and nile red a polar but neutral molecule. A very detailed ps study of rotational diffusion of excited states of merocyanine-540 in polar solvents, has also been reported .
