Poly(dimethylsiloxane) as a room-temperature solid solvent for photophysics and photochemistry

“…Mobile counterions permit CSh coupled with ion transport, as discussed. 122 Suppose the counterion, however, does not move along with the CSh. In this case, the generated CT state has a larger dipole (and higher energy in non-polar media) than the CT states formed when the anion migrates from the vicinity of the acceptor toward the donor, accompanying the HT.…”

“…In this case, the generated CT state has a larger dipole (and higher energy in non-polar media) than the CT states formed when the anion migrates from the vicinity of the acceptor toward the donor, accompanying the HT. 122,123 Overall, the relative magnitudes of k CT , k CTT and k TICT (Scheme 1(b)), which depend on medium polarity and viscosity, govern the appearance of the ThT fluorescence spectra upon excitation at 350 nm (Fig. 3(b)).…”
