Abstract

Experiments on recording the ultrafast optical Kerr effect (OKE) in solution of europium(III) β‑diketonate complexes in toluene at a concentration of 10–2 mol/L showed that the total OKE signal is not a superposition of two contributions, one of which is related to the vibrational–rotational dynamics of toluene molecules, while the other is due to the vibrational–rotational dynamics of the europium(III) complexes. This immediately indicates that the europium(III) complexes essentially change the structure of liquid toluene, which is reflected in the character of an orientational response in picosecond range.
