Abstract
Excited-state character and dynamics of two 6-(dimethylamino)-2-acylnaphthalene dyes (Prodan and Badan-SCH2CH2OH) were studied by picosecond time-resolved IR spectroscopy (TRIR) in solvents of different polarity and relaxation times: hexane, CD3OD, and glycerol-d8. In all these solvents, near-UV excitation initially produced the same S1(ππ*) excited state characterized by a broad TRIR signal. A very fast decay (3, ∼100 ps) followed in hexane, whereas conversion to a distinct IR spectrum with a ν(C═O) band downshifted by 76 cm-1 occurred in polar/H-bonding solvents, slowing down on going from CD3OD (1, 23 ps) to glycerol-d8 (5.5, 51, 330 ps). The final relaxed excited state was assigned as planar Me2N → C═O intramolecular charge transfer S1(ICT) by comparing experimental and TDDFT-calculated spectra. TRIR conversion kinetics are comparable to those of early stages of multiexponential fluorescence decay and dynamic fluorescence red-shift. This work presents a strong evidence that Prodan-type dyes undergo solvation-driven charge separation in their S1 state, which is responsible for the dynamic fluorescence Stokes shift observed in polar/H-bonding solvents. The time evolution of the optically prepared S1(ππ*) state to the S1(ICT) final state reflects environment relaxation and solvation dynamics. This finding rationalizes the widespread use of Prodan-type dyes as probes of environment dynamics and polarity.

Abstract
Humification is a ubiquitous natural process of biomass degradation that creates multicomponent systems of nonliving organic matter, including dissolved organic matter (DOM) and humic substances (HS) in water environments, soils, and organic rocks. Despite significant differences in molecular composition, the optical properties of DOM and HS are remarkably similar, and the reason for this remains largely unknown. Here, we employed fluorescence spectroscopy with (sub)picosecond resolution to elucidate the role of electronic interactions within DOM and HS. We revealed an ultrafast decay component with a characteristic decay lifetime of 0.5-1.5 ps and spectral diffusion originating from excitation energy transfer (EET) in the system. The rate of EET was positively correlated to the fraction of aromatic species and tightness of aromatic species packing. Diminishing the number of EET donor-acceptor pairs by reduction with NaBH4 (decrease of the acceptor number), decrease of pH (decrease of the electron-donating ability), or decrease of the average particle size by filtration (less donor-acceptor pairs within a particle) resulted in a lower impact of the ultrafast component on fluorescence decay. Our results uncover the role of electronic coupling among fluorophores in the formation of DOM and HS optical properties and provide a framework for studying photophysical processes in heterogeneous systems of natural fluorophores.

Abstract
We investigate the glassy dynamics of glycerol in the confinement of a microemulsion system, which is stable on cooling down to the glass transition of its components. By changing the composition, we vary the viscosity of the matrix, while keeping the confining geometry intact, as is demonstrated by small angle X-ray scattering. By means of 2H NMR, differential scanning calorimetry, and triplet solvation dynamics we, thus, probe the dynamics of glycerol in confinements of varying rigidity. 2H NMR results show that, at higher temperatures, the dynamics of confined glycerol is unchanged compared to bulk behavior, while the reorientation of glycerol molecules becomes significantly faster than in the bulk in the deeply supercooled regime. However, comparison of different 2H NMR findings with data from calorimetry and solvation dynamics reveals that this acceleration is not due to the changed structural relaxation of glycerol, but rather due to the rotational motion of essentially rigid glycerol droplets or of aggregates of such droplets in a more fluid matrix. Thus, independent of the matrix mobility, the glycerol dynamics remains unchanged except for the smallest droplets, where an increase of Tg and, thus, a slowdown of the structural relaxation is observed even in a fluid matrix.

Abstract
Molecular mobility of the symmetric carbocyanine fluorophore DTDCI was studied in AOT/alkane reverse micelles containing non-aqueous polar liquids DMF, formamide, ethylene glycol and glycerol by monitoring both the torsional photoisomerization and rotational reorientation, both of which were sensitive to microviscosity of the local environment. The DTDCI fluorophore resides completely within the AOT-polar liquid reverse micelle nano-droplets, where its dynamics were found to be significantly retarded irrespective of the polar liquid taken, due to a combination of electrostatic and hydrophobic forces that induce the guest DTDC(+) cation to attach to the AOT molecules of the host droplet. The addition of strong hydrogen-bond donating polar liquids like formamide, ethylene glycol and glycerol causes a systematic enlargement of the droplets. Rotational dynamics of the fluorophore inside the nano-droplets was characterized by a diffusion coefficient comparable to that in highly viscous solvents like ethylene glycol.

Abstract
Excited-state intermolecular proton transfer of D-luciferin in reverse micelles has been investigated using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy measurement. The different polar cores have been chosen for the study of proton transfer dynamics in aerosol-OT (AOT) reverse micelles. It is shown that aqueous reverse micelle is the suitable environment for the photoprotolytic reaction of D-luciferin. The neutral form of the chromophore is present both in ground and excited state at W0 = 0. The proton transfer in nanometer size water pool of water/AOT/n-heptane begins at W0 = 8 and increases with increasing W0 values. However, the intermolecular excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) of D-luciferin is inhibited in nonaquous reverse micelles with DMF and DMSO as a polar core. Thus, the requirement of ESPT of D-luciferin to take place in reverse micelles consists of polar protic solvent like water as a polar core.

Abstract
In this work, we have reported our study on the controversial issue whether methanol molecules can be effectively encapsulated by surfactant AOT to form true reverse micelles. We compared the different photophysical properties of coumarin 153 (C153) in methanol/AOT/n-heptane reverse micelles and methanol/n-heptane binary mixture by means of steady-state absorption, fluorescence and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopies. In the reverse micelles, the fluorescence emission spectra of C153 were dependent on the excitation wavelength, while in binary mixtures, the excitation wavelength dependence was not observed. The biexponential decay curves of C153 in reverse micelles give a further confirmation for the two different environments where C153 molecules reside in. In other words, C153 molecules can exist both inside the core of the reverse micelles and outside of it. These results proved that the methanol can be effectively encapsulated by AOT in n-heptane solvents to form stable methanol/AOT/n-heptane reverse micelles.

Abstract
Nanoconfined liquids are of interest because of both their fundamental properties and their potential utility in an array of applications. The structure and dynamics of the liquid can be dramatically impacted by the geometrical constraints and the interactions with the interface. Understanding the molecular-level origins of these changes and how they are determined by the characteristics of the confining framework is the subject of ongoing experimental and theoretical studies. The progress and remaining challenges in these efforts are reviewed in the context of solvation dynamics and proton transfer reactions, processes that are strongly affected by nanoscale confinement.

Abstract
Recent advances in ultrafast laser technology have spurred investigations of microheterogeneous solutions. In particular, researchers have explored details of reverse micelles (RMs), which present isolated droplets of polar solvent sequestered from a continuous nonpolar phase by a surfactant layer. This review explores recent studies utilizing a variety of ultrafast laser techniques to uncover details about structure and dynamics in various RMs. Using ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy, researchers have probed hydrogen-bond dynamics and vibrational energy relaxation in RMs. These studies have developed our understanding of reverse micellar structure, identifying varying water environments in the RMs. In a plethora of experiments employing probe molecules, researchers have explored the confined environment presented by RMs and their impact on a range of chemical reactions. These studies have shown that confinement, rather than the specific interactions with surfactants, is an important factor determining the impact of the reverse micellar environment on the chemistry.

Abstract
In this contribution, we report on studies of rotational and diffusional dynamics of 7-hydroxyquinoline (7HQ) within a reverse micelle (RM) containing different amounts of water. Analyzed in terms of the wobbling-in-a-cone model, the data reveal structural and dynamical properties of the nanopool. We clearly observed three regions in the behavior of confined water molecules within the RM hosting a double proton-transfer reaction between the probe and water. This observation remarkably reproduces the change of calculated water density within this life-mimicking medium. The number of water molecules per AOT head in the transition regions changes from 2 to 5, the latter being very near to the full solvation number (6) of the RM heads. Moreover, the H-bonds breaking and making within the RM to give new structures of the probe strongly affect the environment fluidization in different extents, reflected in different relaxation times of these structures; however, they are of similar sizes. We discuss the role of RM confinement and the proton-transfer dynamics on the behavior of water and their relationships to the packing of water molecules in the studied range of concentrations.
