Abstract
It is well known that both intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding can lead to drastic changes in the lifetime of the first excited singlet state. By employing a synchronously pumped, mode-locked dye-laser for excitation in connection with a continuously operated streak camera for detection, the solvent-dependent fluorescence decay times of several indigo derivatives were determined with high temporal resolution (∼5 ps with deconvolution). It is found that in indigo dyes intramolecular hydrogen bonding gives rise to a strong fluorescence quenching; intermolecular hydrogen bonding can also provide a channel for fast radiationless deactivation in those derivatives in which the former are not present.
