Graphical Abstract

Eine Erklärung für Anomalien in den Fluoreszenzspektren von Molekülen mit dualer Fluoreszenz? Ein Vergleich der zeitaufgelösten IR-Absorption der CN-Gruppe von photoangeregtem 4-Dimethylaminobenzonitril in MeCN und MeOH liefert den ersten direkten Hinweis auf die Bildung eines Wasserstoffbrücken-gebundenen intramolekularen Charge-Transfer(ICT)-Zustands in MeOH, der neben einem „freien“ ICT-Zustand vorliegt (siehe Bild). Die so genannte duale Fluoreszenz ist also eher eine dreifache.
