Abstract

Fluorescence emission anisotropies, r, and mean lifetimes of 4-dimethylamino-a>diphenylphosphinyl-rrans-styrene (DDPS) were measured in n-butanol at different temperatures from 20 to 80 °C for one- and two-photon excitation. When increasing the temperature, the lifetime decreased from 32 to 12 ps, the r values, however, remained constant (0.315 and 0.445 for one- and two-photon excitation, respectively) and were found to be temperature independent. For DDPS in glycerol at — 5°C, where rotational diffusion does not occur during the excited state lifetime, the limiting emission anisotropies were r00ff{0 can be due to vibrations performed after excitation by the DDPS molecule as a result of the initial shock.
