Abstract
Photoprocesses in aqueous solutions of the styryl dye 1-ethyl-4-{(E)-2-[4(methylthio)phenyl]vinyl}pyridinium perchlorate (1) and its complexes with cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n], n = 6–8) have been studied using the methods of stationary and time-resolved optical spectroscopy. The fluorescence intensity increases by approximately 3 times in 1 : 1 complexes of 1 and CB[6], whereas CB[7] has almost no effect on the fluorescence intensity. In 2 : 1 complexes with CB[8], the photocycloaddition reaction does not occur, with strong fluorescence quenching being associated with the formation of nonreactive dimers. The fluorescence decay kinetics of 1 has two characteristic times, 1.4 and ~130 ps, and changes little in the complexes. The photoinduced intramolecular charge transfer in 1 is an order of magnitude smaller than in the wellknown dye DASPI.
