This paper presents the development and characterization of a highly selective magnesium
fluorescent optical nanosensor, made possible by PEBBLE (probe encapsulated by …

Photoinduced electron transfer from the valence band of nanocrystalline NiO, a p-type
semiconductor, to an excited bound dye, coumarin 343, and the subsequent recombination …

We have measured the dynamics of water solvation in two different reverse micellar
environments with low water content, w 0= 1.7. In the water/Aerosol OT (AOT)/isooctane …

Data from the optical Kerr effect, time-resolved Stokes shift, and dielectric dispersion
experiments on 21 common room temperature solvents are collected and compared. The …

Reverse microemulsions have been characterized in isooctane and decane using the
surfactant Aerosol-OT (AOT) and the polar solvents formamide, ethylene glycol, acetonitrile …

The short and intermediate time scale dynamics of the photoacid pyranine (1-hydroxy-3, 6, 8-
pyrenetrisulfonic acid, commonly referred to as HPTS) are studied with visible pump− probe …

Control of proton transfer is relevant to many areas in chemistry, particularly in catalysis
where the kinetics of (de) protonation reactions are often rate limiting. Photobases, which …

Solute–solvent intermolecular photoinduced intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and
twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) states are proposed to account for the unusual …

Polar solvation dynamics of water sequestered inside Aerosol OT (AOT) reverse micelles
have been investigated as a function of the surfactant countercation, specifically replacing …

The effect of confinement on solvation dynamics has been explored in Brij-30/cyclohexane
and Triton X-100/cyclohexane nonionic reverse micelles. Inside the reverse micelles, the …
