Abstract
Solvation dynamics critically affect charge transport. Spectroscopic experiments and computer simulations show that these dynamics in aqueous systems occur on a picosecond timescale. In the case of organic electrolytes, however, conflicting values ranging from 1 to several 100 picoseconds have been reported. We resolve this conflict by studying mixtures of an organic polymer and a lithium salt. Lithium ions coordinate with multiple polymer chains, resulting in temporary crosslinks. Relaxation of these crosslinks, detected by quasielastic neutron scattering, are directly related to solvation dynamics. Simulations reveal a broad spectrum of relaxation times. The average timescale for solvation dynamics in both experiment and simulation is one nanosecond. We present the direct measurement of ultraslow dynamics of solvation shell break-up in an electrolyte.

Abstract
Type-V deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a newly emerging unique class of solvents obtained by physical mixing and heating of non-ionic components. These solvents show deviation from the thermodynamic ideality. Compared to type-I to IV DESs, type-V DESs are less explored and their physical chemistry is in its nascent stage. In this work, we have chosen a type-V DES based on menthol-thymol (MT) for our working media. Solvent and rotational dynamics were studied with varying temperature using a well-known solvatochromic probe, Coumarin 153 (C153). We prepared the MT-based DES using a reported procedure at three molar ratios: 1 : 1 (M1T1), 1 : 1.5 (M1T1.5), and 2 : 1 (M2T1) of menthol (M) and thymol (T). Time-resolved emission spectra (TRES) were constructed with varying temperature. Utilizing TRES, the decay of the solvent correlation function (C(t)) was plotted. We have correlated the solvent relaxation time in these DESs as a function of viscosity. The time-resolved anisotropy decays were also collected to perceive the rotational relaxation dynamics of C153 as a function of temperature. The decay of solvent relaxation was found to be bi-exponential, and the average solvation time (〈τs〉) in M2T1 was found to be longer than those of M1T1.5 and M1T1. The rotational reorientation times (〈τrot〉) also follow the same trend. We have analysed the rotational dynamics of C153 in type-V DESs employing the Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) hydrodynamic model. The rotational dynamics in DESs demonstrate a good correlation with the SED model with a little deviation. In MT-based DESs, the solute's rotational relaxation times approach hydrodynamic stick boundary condition at low viscosity (or at high temperatures) for all molar compositions. Using the Arrhenius-type equations, we have correlated the activation energies for the rotational motion of C153, along with the viscous flow and non-radiative pathways for all the DESs.

Abstract
Relaxation rate dispersion, i.e., nonexponential or multicomponent kinetics, is observed in complex systems when measuring relaxation kinetics. Often, the origin of rate dispersion is associated with the heterogeneity in the system. However, both homogeneous (where all molecules experience the same rate but inherently nonexponential) and heterogeneous (where all molecules experience different rates) systems can exhibit rate dispersion. A multidimensional correlation analysis method has been demonstrated to detect and quantify rate dispersion observed in molecular rotation, diffusion, solvation, and reaction kinetics. One-dimensional (1D) autocorrelation function detects rate dispersion and measures its extent. Two-dimensional (2D) autocorrelation function measures the origin of rate dispersion and distinguishes homogeneous from heterogeneous. In a heterogeneous system, implicitly there exist subensembles of molecules experiencing different rates. A three-dimensional (3D) autocorrelation function measures subensemble exchange if present and reveals if the system possesses static or dynamic heterogeneity. This perspective discusses the principles, applications, and potential and also presents a future outlook of two-dimensional fluctuation correlation spectroscopy (2D-FlucCS). The method is applicable to any experiment or simulation where a time series of fluctuation in an observable (emission, scattering, current, etc.) around a mean value can be obtained in steady state (equilibrium or nonequilibrium), provided the system is ergodic.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), which are used as solvents for chemical reactions, are different from conventional organic solvents owing to their designability. Physicochemical parameters of the ILs, such as polarity and viscosity, that affect chemical equilibria and reaction kinetics can be tuned by changing the combination of anions and cations or by varying the lengths of the alkyl chains present in the cations. We were interested in knowing how these physicochemical parameters affect fundamental chemical reactions in ILs. Therefore, in this personal account, we investigate our recent work on two different photochemical reactions in ILs, namely excited-state intramolecular proton transfer of hydroxyflavone and photodissociation of aminodisulfide, using time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. Interestingly, the roles of the ILs in these chemical reactions are quite different. The effect of the cationic species of the ILs (i. e., the head groups and number of alkyl carbons) on the solvation environment upon photoexcitation and reaction rate are discussed.

Abstract
In order to determine the self-diffusion coefficients D of all the species in the solutions at 298.2 K, 1H and 19F NMR diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) has been conducted on coumarin 153 (C153) in binary mixed solvents of an imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide (C12mimTFSA), with three molecular liquids (MLs) of chloroform (CL), benzene (BZ), and propylene carbonate (PC) as a function of ML mole fraction xML. Below xML ≈ 0.8, the D values of each species do not significantly depend on the MLs. However, above this mole fraction, the diffusion of C153 becomes smoother in the order of BZ ≈ CL > PC systems. The interactions among C153, C12mim+, TFSA-, and ML molecules have been investigated using infrared (IR) and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques. The relations of the diffusion of the species with the interactions among them have been discussed on the molecular scale. In the IL solution, the C153 carbonyl oxygen atom is hydrogen-bonded with the imidazolium ring C2-H atom of C12mim+. C12mim+ also forms an ion pair with TFSA-. Thus, C153, C12mim+, and TFSA- cooperatively move in the CL and BZ solutions at a lower ML content, xML < ∼0.8. On the other hand, at a higher ML content, xML > ∼0.8, the C153 molecule diffuses with CL and BZ molecules because of the hydrogen bonding between the C153 carbonyl O atom and the CL H atom and the π-π interaction between the C153 and BZ ring planes, respectively. For the PC system, the change in the relative self-diffusion coefficients of each species with increasing xML differs from those for the CL and BZ systems because of both hydrogen bonding donor H and acceptor O atoms of PC for C153, the IL cation and anion, and PC themselves.

Abstract
Different spectroscopy types reveal different aspects of molecular processes in soft matter. In particular, collective observables can provide insights into intermolecular correlations invisible to the more popular single-particle methods. In this perspective we feature the dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) with an emphasis on the proper interpretation of this complex observable aided by computational spectroscopy. While we focus on the history and recent advances of DRS in the fields of biomolecular hydration and nanoconfinement, the discussion transcends this particular field and provides a guide for how collective spectroscopy types supported by computational decomposition can be employed to further our understanding of soft matter phenomena.

Abstract
Ionic liquids are an emerging class of materials which are finding application in a variety of technologically important areas. Because of their hydrophilic character, at least a small concentration of water is often present when ionic liquids are used in practical applications. This study employs infrared spectroscopy in the OH stretching and libration regions together with DFT calculations to better characterize the state of dilute water in ionic liquids. Water mole fractions (xw ∼ 0.1) are chosen such that nearly all water occurs in monomeric form and spectra probe the solvation structure and dynamics of solitary water molecules. New data are reported for a series of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium liquids [Im21][X] with X- = (C2F5)3F3P-, (CF3SO2)2N-, BF4-, B(CN)4-, CF3SO3-, C2H5SO4-, NO3-, SCN-, and CH3CO2-, as well as for the two 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium liquids [Im61][Cl] and [Im61][I]. For comparison, spectra are also recorded in a variety of dipolar solvents, and much of the available literature data are summarized, providing a comprehensive perspective on monomeric water in homogeneous solution. Most prior studies of dilute water in ionic liquids interpreted OH stretching spectra only in terms of water being specifically bonded to two anions in A-···H-O-H···A- type solvates. The more detailed analysis presented here indicates the additional presence of asymmetrically solvated water, which in some cases includes both singly solvated (A-···H-O-H) and more subtle forms of asymmetric solvation. The same pattern of solvation also pertains to dipolar solvents capable of accepting hydrogen bonds from water. No clear distinction is found between OH spectra in high-polarity conventional solvents and ionic liquids. In all solvents, OH frequencies are strongly correlated to measures of solvent basicity or hydrogen bond accepting ability. Far-infrared spectra of the water libration band also show common trends in ionic and dipolar solvents. Despite the different character of the libration and OH modes, the frequencies of these vibrations show virtually the same solvent dependence (apart from sign) except in weakly polar or nonpolar solvents.

Abstract
Bandshape analysis of charge-transfer optical bands in room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) was performed to extract the reorganization energy of electron transfer. Remarkably, the reorganization energies in ILs are close to those in cyclohexane. This result runs against common wisdom in the field since conducting ILs, which are characterized by an infinite static dielectric constant, and nonpolar cyclohexane fall to the opposite ends of the polarity scale based on their dielectric constants. Theoretical calculations employing structure factors of ILs from molecular dynamics simulations support the low values of the reorganization energy. Standard dielectric arguments do not apply to solvation in ILs, and nonergodic reorganization energies are required for a quantitative analysis.

Abstract
The hydrophobicity of room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) has been shown to have a very significant effect on the optical and structural properties of and in RTILs. The average excited state lifetime of neat RTILs has been shown to be increasing with increasing hydrophobicity of the RTILs. By employing pico-nanosecond-based fluorescence anisotropy decay, the volume of the nanoaggregates in neat RTILs have been calculated. The volume of these nanoaggregates have been shown to be decreasing with increase in hydrophobicity of the RTILs. Thus, hydrophobicity has been shown to have an important role, i.e., hydrophobicity can be used as a handle to tune the properties of RTILs as designer solvents. Moreover, the excited-state lifetime of red-emitting fluorophores, i.e., whose fluorescence emission is not perturbed by the inherent emission of RTILs, has been shown to increase with the increasing hydrophobicity of the RTILs. Highly hydrophobic RTILs have been shown to exhibit positive deviation and highly hydrophilic RTIL has been shown to exhibit negative deviation from the linear correlation between average solvation time (τs) versus viscosity/temperature (η/T).

Abstract
Solvation dynamics in ionic liquids show features that are often associated with supercooled liquids, including "stretched" nonexponential relaxation. To better understand the mechanism behind the stretching, the nonlinear mode-correlation methods proposed in Paper I [S. R. Hodge and M. A. Berg, J. Chem. Phys. 155, 024122 (2021)] are applied to a simulation of a prototypical ionic liquid. A full Green's function is recovered. In addition, specific tests for non-Gaussian dynamics are made. No deviations from Gaussian dynamics are found. This finding is incompatible with rate heterogeneity as a cause of the nonexponential relaxation and appears to be in conflict with an earlier multidimensional analysis of the same data. Although this conflict is not resolved here, this work does demonstrate the practicality of mode-correlation analysis in the face of finite datasets and calculations.

Abstract
Chemical reaction dynamics in solution are closely related to solvation dynamics, and understanding solvent responses remains a crucial issue in chemistry and chemical biology. In this study, we experimentally and computationally investigated the solvation dynamics along different solvation coordinates of the same molecule: the electronically excited state and ground state of the p-aminophenylthiyl radical generated by the photodissociation of bis(p-aminophenyl)disulfide. Time profiles of the peak shifts from the transient absorption and emission spectra after photodissociation were extracted to discuss the solvent reorganization process in various ionic liquids (ILs) with different viscosities. The absorption peak position of the radical followed common solvation dynamics, shifting to a lower energy with time due to reorganization of the surrounding solvent molecules in response to the charge redistribution and molecular volume change caused by photodissociation. On the other hand, the emission band of the radical did not show a meaningful spectral shift with time. It was also found that the solvation time in the ground state was not strongly dependent on the solvent viscosity. These experimental results deviate from the conventional dynamic Stokes shift theory. To discuss the experimental results, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations were conducted. The spectral shift obtained by MD simulations indicated the existence of a large solvation energy change and solvation dynamics around the radical after the photodissociation. On the other hand, the electronic excitation of the radical brought about a relatively smaller solvation energy change, especially at the long delay time after the photodissociation. These differences might be one of the reasons for the unique experimentally observed solvation dynamics.

Abstract
The ultrafast transient absorption spectrum of 1-butyl-1-methyl-pyrrolidinium dicyanamide, [Pyr1,4+][DCA-], was measured in the visible and near-infrared (IR) spectral regions. Excitation of the liquid at 4.6 eV created initially delocalized and highly reactive electrons that either geminately recombined (69%) or localized onto a cavity with a time constant of ∼300 fs. Electron localization was reflected in the evolution of the TA spectrum and the time-dependent loss of reactivity with a dichloromethane quencher. The delocalized initial state and spectrum of the free electrons were consistent with computational predictions by Xu and Margulis [ J. Phys. Chem. B, 2015, 119, 532-542] on excess electrons in [Pyr1,4+][DCA-]. The computational study considered two possible localization mechanisms for excess electrons, localization on ions, and localization on cavities. In the case of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, the results presented here demonstrate localization to cavities as the dominant channel. Following localization onto a cavity, the free electrons underwent solvation and loss of reactivity with the quencher with rates that slowed in time. The dynamics were similar to an analogous prior study on the related liquid [Pyr1,x+][NTf2-]. One significant difference was the larger yield of free electrons from photoexcitation of [Pyr1,4+][DCA-]. This was found to primarily reflect more efficient localization onto cavities rather than a slower geminate recombination rate.

Abstract
Characterization of propyl acetate/butyronitrile (PA/BuCN) mixtures by various spectroscopic techniques is described. The neat solvents have identical viscosities and refractive indices but their dielectric constants differ significantly. Detailed solvatochromic and titration data show that the mixtures do not exhibit specific solute-solvent interactions or significant dielectric enrichment effects. Therefore, the mixtures are ideally suited for investigating the effect of dielectric stabilization on (photo)chemical reactions. Dynamic Stokes shift experiments performed on two push-pull probes demonstrate that the solvation dynamics are significantly decelerated in the mixtures as compared to the neat solvents. Therefore, the mixtures allow for varying both the extent and time scale of the dielectric stabilization in a predictable manner.

Abstract
We have reported previously on the existence of charge-induced long-range organization in the room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), BMIM+BF4-. The induced organization is in the form of a free charge density gradient (ρf) that exists over ca. 100 μm into the RTIL in contact with a charged surface. The fluorescence anisotropy decay of a trace-level charged chromophore in the RTIL is measured as a function of distance from the indium-doped tin oxide support surface to probe this free charge density gradient. We report here on the characterization of the free charge density gradient in five different imidazolium RTILs and use these data to evaluate the magnitude of the induced free charge density gradient. Both the extent and magnitude of this gradient depend on the chemical structures of the cationic and anionic constituents of the RTIL used. Control over the magnitude of ρf has implications for the utility of RTILs for a host of applications that remain to be explored fully.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates how the different states of solubilized water viz. quaternary ammonium headgroup-bound, bulklike, counterion-bound, and free water in reverse micelles of a series of cationic gemini surfactants, water/12-s-12 (s = 5, 6, 8).2Br-/n-propanol/cyclohexane, control the solvation dynamics and rotational relaxation of Coumarin 490 (C-490) and microenvironment of the reverse micelles. The relative number of solubilized water molecules of a given state per surfactant molecule decides major and minor components. A rapid increase in the number of bulklike water molecules per surfactant molecule as compared to the slow increase in the number of each of headgroup- and counterion-bound water molecules per surfactant molecule with increasing water content (W o) in a given reverse micellar system is responsible for the increase in the rate of solvation and rotational relaxation of C-490. The increase in the number of counterion-bound water molecules per surfactant molecule and the concomitant decrease in the number of bulklike water molecules per surfactant molecule with increasing spacer chain length of gemini surfactants at a given W o are ascribed to the slower rates of both solvation and rotational relaxation. Relative abundances of different states of water have a role on the microenvironment of the reverse micelles as well. Thus, a comprehensive effect of different states of water on dynamics in complex biomimicking systems has been presented here.

Abstract
Computational simulations of ionic liquid solutions have become a useful tool to investigate various physical, chemical and catalytic properties of systems involving these solvents. Classical molecular dynamics and hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) calculations of IL systems have provided significant insights at the atomic level. Here, we present a review of the development and application of the multipolar and polarizable force field AMOEBA for ionic liquid systems, termed AMOEBA–IL. The parametrization approach for AMOEBA–IL relies on the reproduction of total quantum mechanical (QM) intermolecular interaction energies and QM energy decomposition analysis. This approach has been used to develop parameters for imidazolium– and pyrrolidinium–based ILs coupled with various inorganic anions. AMOEBA–IL has been used to investigate and predict the properties of a variety of systems including neat ILs and IL mixtures, water exchange reactions on lanthanide ions in IL mixtures, IL–based liquid–liquid extraction, and effects of ILs on an aniline protection reaction.

Abstract
The permittivity of polymers and its spatial distribution play a crucial role in the behavior of thin films, such as those used, e.g., as sensor coatings. In an attempt to develop a conclusive approach to determine these quantities, the polarity of the model polymer poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) in 600 nm thin films on a glass support was probed by the energy of the charge transfer transition in the oxazine dye Nile red (NR) at 25 °C. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of NR were observed to shift to the red with increasing solvent polarity, because of the intramolecular charge transfer character of the optical transition. New types of solvatochromic plots of emission frequency against absorption frequency and vice versa afforded the Onsager radius-free estimation of the ground and excited states dipole moment ratio. With this approach the values of these dipole moments of 11.97 D and 18.30–19.16 D, respectively, were obtained for NR. An effective local dielectric constant of 5.9–8.3 for PMMA thin films was calculated from the solvatochromic plot and the fluorescence maximum of NR observed in the PMMA films. The fluorescence band of NR in the rigid PMMA films shifted to the red by 130 cm−1 with increasing excitation wavelength from 470 to 540 nm, while in a series of liquids the position of the emission maximum of NR remained constant within same range of the excitation wavelength. It is concluded that the fluorescence spectrum of NR in PMMA undergoes inhomogeneous broadening due to different surroundings of NR molecules in the ground state and slow sub-glass transition (Tg) relaxations in PMMA.

Abstract
Ionic liquids are being tested as potential replacements for current electrolytes in energy-related applications. Electron transfer (ET) plays a central role in these applications, making it essential to understand how ET in ionic liquids differs from ET in conventional organic solvents and how these differences affect reaction kinetics. A new intramolecular electron donor-acceptor probe was synthesized by covalently linking the popular photoacceptor coumarin 152 with the donor dimethylaniline to create the dyad "C152-DMA" for potential use in probing dynamical solvent effects in ionic liquids. Molecular dynamics simulations of this dyad show the considerable conformational flexibility of the linker group but over a range of geometries in which the ET rate parameters vary little and should have minimal effect on reaction times >100 ps. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence methods show the spectra of C152-DMA to be highly responsive to solvent polarity, with ET rates varying over the range of 108 to 1012 s-1 between nonpolar and high-polarity conventional solvents. The sensitivity to hydrolysis in the presence of acidic impurities limits the dyad's use to ionic liquids of high purity. The results in the few ionic liquids examined here suggest that in addition to solvent polarity, electron transfer in C152-DMA also depends on solvent fluidity or solvation times.

Abstract
A new room-temperature deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of glucose, urea, and water has been prepared and its relaxation dynamics explored via temperature-dependent time-resolved fluorescence measurements employing hydrophilic and hydrophobic solute probes. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements indicate a glass transition temperature (Tg) of ∼236 K. Measured viscosity coefficients (η) vary from ∼600 to ∼100 cP in the temperature range 318 ≤ T/K ≤ 343 and exhibit Arrhenius-type temperature dependence with an activation energy of ∼65 kJ mol-1. Interestingly, this DES forms a stable liquid at ∼300 K but is too viscous to be accurately measured by us below 318 K. Temperature-dependent dynamic fluorescence anisotropy measurements using hydrophobic and hydrophilic solutes of similar sizes reveal bi-exponential kinetics and Arrhenius-type temperature dependence for solute rotation times (⟨τr⟩) but with significantly decreased activation energies, ∼31 kJ mol-1 (hydrophobic) and ∼21 kJ mol-1 (hydrophilic). Deviation from hydrodynamics is further reflected in the strong fractional viscosity dependence of ⟨τr⟩: ⟨τr⟩ ∝ (η/T)p with p ≈ 0.3-0.5, indicating pronounced temporal heterogeneity in the relaxation dynamics. Dynamic fluorescence Stokes shift measurements (temporal resolution ∼85 ps) produce dynamic shifts of ∼500-700 cm-1, bi-exponential solvation energy relaxation with time constants in the range ∼0.2 ns and ∼4 ns, and estimated missing amplitudes of ∼65-75%. Impact of the density difference between a nonpolar solvent and this DES on the estimated missing amplitudes is explored via measuring the temperature-dependent densities and refractive indices of this DES. Lifetime measurements suggest considerable temperature dependence for the hydrophobic solute but no such dependence for the hydrophilic one. Excitation energy dependence of fluorescence emission of various solutes with widely different lifetimes indicates mild spatial heterogeneity for this DES.

Abstract
The inclusion of explicit polarization in molecular dynamics simulation has gained increasing interest during the last several years. An understudied area is the role of polarizability in computer simulations of solvation dynamics around chromophores, particularly for the large solutes used in experimental studies. In this work, we present fully polarizable ground and excited state force fields for the common fluorophores N-methyl-6-oxyquinolium betaine and Coumarin 153. While analyzing the solvation responses in water, methanol, and the highly viscous ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate we found that the inclusion of solute polarizability considerably increases the agreement of the obtained Stokes shift relaxation functions with experimental data. Solute polarizability slows down the inertial solvation response in the femtosecond time regime and enables the chromophore to adapt its dipole moment to the environment. Furthermore, the developed chromophore force field reproduces the solute dipole moments in both the electronic ground and excited state in environments ranging from gas phase to highly polar media correctly. Based on these studies it is anticipated that polarizable models of chromophores will lead to an improved understanding of the relationship of their environment to their spectroscopic properties.

Abstract
The rotational re-orientations times of the 7-DHB dye molecule have been examined in non-associative solvents (DMSO and Octanenitrile) by varying the temperature, by employing the Steady-State Fluorescence Depolarisation and Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) techniques. Rotational re-orientations time values in DMSO are found larger by a factor of 1.136 than octanenitrile, which indicates that 7-DHB laser dye is experiencing higher friction in DMSO than octanenitrile. To determine mechanical friction Stokes Einstein's Debye theory (SED) -with a stick, slip boundary conditions parameters are used and found an interesting super slip trend. Point dipole models as Nee-Zwanzig (NZ) and van der Zwan-Hynes (ZH) fail to explain experimental dielectric friction observed trends. Alavi-Waldeck model successfully explains the observed dielectric friction trend in non-associative solvents.

Abstract
The rotational re-orientations times of the 7-[diethylamino]-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (7-DHB) dye molecule have been examined in ethanol and octanol solvents when macroscopic solvent viscosity parameter is varied by varying the temperature, by employing the steady-state fluorescence depolarisation and Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) techniques. Experimental observation shows that 7-DHB probe is experiencing higher friction in octanol compared to ethanol and rotates slower by a factor of 7.3. The hydrodynamic Stokes Einstein's Debye theory (SED) with a stick, slip boundary conditions parameters, quasi-hydrodynamic models (Dote-Kivelson-Schwartz and Geirer-Wirtz) were used to determine mechanical friction and found an interesting towards super slip trend. Dielectric frictional theories of point dipole, Nee-Zwanzig and van der Zwan-Hynes both models fail to describe experimentally observe dielectric friction trends. Evidently, both hydrodynamic and dielectric models failed to explain the examined behavior, even in the qualitative way in alcohols.

Abstract
The validity of linear response theory (LRT) in computer simulations of solvation dynamics, i.e. the time-dependent Stokes shift, has been debated widely during the last decades. Since the use of LRT is computationally less expensive than the calculation of the true nonequilibrium response, it is often invoked for large systems exhibiting a particularly slow solvation response, e.g. ionic liquids. In the case of ionic liquids, LRT does not only need to capture the correct overall dynamics of the system, but also the contributions and timescales of the respective cation and anion movement. We show by large scale computer simulations that the contribution of the permanent dipoles to the solvation response obeys LRT to some extent, whereas the induced contributions in polarizable simulations lead to a failure of LRT for the respective ion contributions.

Abstract
With an aim to understand the behavior in terms of the intermolecular interactions, structure and dynamics of dicationic and monocationic ionic liquids (ILs), two imidazolium-based dicationic ionic liquids (DILs), 1,8-bis-(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)octane bis-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C8(mim)2][NTf2]2), 1,9-bis-(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)nonane bis-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C9(mim)2][NTf2]2), and one monocationic ionic liquid (MIL), 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C4(mim)][NTf2]), have been investigated through combined fluorescence, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), NMR and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). The DILs were synthesized by following a standard synthetic protocol and subsequently characterized by different analytical techniques. Steady state absorption, emission and EPR spectroscopic data reveal that DILs are less polar compared to MIL. The polarities of the DILs and MIL were found to be close to those of acetonitrile and short chain alcohols, respectively. The excitation wavelength dependent emission data reveals that DILs are more micro-heterogeneous in nature than MIL. The rotational diffusion of two organic solutes, perylene and 8-methoxypyrene-1,3,6-sulfonate (MPTS), were examined in the DILs and MIL. The rotational diffusion data for perylene and MPTS were analyzed in light of the Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) hydrodynamic theory. The rotation of perylene in the DILs was observed to be relatively faster to that in the MIL, and it goes beyond the limit predicted by the SED theory. In order to explain the rotational motion of perylene in DILs, the data was analyzed further by invoking quasi-hydrodynamic theory. The observed rotational behavior of perylene has been explained by considering the fact that perylene is located in the nonpolar region of ILs, and larger solvent molecules (DILs) induce a lower friction to the rotating solute. Interestingly, unlike perylene, rotations of MPTS in both of the ILs were observed to be much hindered indicating a relatively stronger MPTS-IL interaction than perylene-IL interaction. More interestingly, rotation of MPTS was observed to be faster in the DILs than that in the MIL despite the fact that DILs are more viscous than MILs. Relatively faster rotation of MPTS in DILs has been explained by resorting to NMR and FCS studies. The outcomes of the NMR and FCS studies revealed that DILs in the experimental condition exist in their folded form and because of this structural restriction of DILs it becomes difficult for the bulky MPTS to make stronger hydrogen bonding interactions with DILs, which eventually makes the rotation of MPTS in DILs faster. Essentially, the outcomes of all of these studies have demonstrated that the behavior of DILs is quite different to that of the usual MILs.

Abstract
Recently, we have reported a systematic study of photoinduced electron-transfer reactions in ionic liquid solvents using neutral and anionic electron donors and a series of cyano-substituted anthracene acceptors [ Wu , B. ; Maroncelli , M. ; Castner , E. W. Jr Photoinduced Bimolecular Electron Transfer in Ionic Liquids . J. Am. Chem. Soc. 139 , 2017 , 14568 ]. Herein, we report complementary results for a cationic class of 1-alkyl-4-dimethylaminopyridinium electron donors. Reductive quenching of cyano-substituted anthracene fluorophores by these cationic quenchers is studied in solutions of acetonitrile and the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide. Varying the length of the alkyl chain permits tuning of the quencher diffusivities in solution. The observed quenching kinetics are interpreted using a diffusion-reaction analysis. Together with results from the prior study, these results show that the intrinsic electron-transfer rate constant does not depend on the quencher charge in this family of reactions.

Abstract
This study presents the large scale computer simulations of two common fluorophores, N-methyl-6-oxyquinolinium betaine and coumarin 153, in five polar or ionic solvents. The validity of linear response approximations to calculate the time-dependent Stokes shift is evaluated in each system. In most studied systems linear response theory fails. In ionic liquids the magnitude of the overall response is largely overestimated, and linear response theory is not able to capture the individual contributions of cations and anions. In polar liquids, the timescales of solvation dynamics are often not correctly reproduced. These observations are complemented by a detailed analysis of Gaussian statistics including higher order correlation functions, variance of the energy gap distribution and its time evolution. The analysis of higher order correlation functions was found to be not suitable to predict a failure of linear response theory. Further analysis of radial distribution functions and hydrogen bonds in the ground and excited state, as well as the time evolution of the number of hydrogen bonds after solute excitation reveal an influence of solvent structure in some of the studied systems.

Abstract
A nanofluid (NF) is composed of a base liquid and suspended nanoparticles (NPs). High-performance NFs exhibit significantly better heat conductivities, as compared to their base liquids. In the present work, we applied all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to characterize diffusive and ballistic energy transfer mechanisms within nanodiamonds (NDs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and N-butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid (IL). We showed that heat transfer within both NDs and CNTs is orders of magnitude faster than that in the surrounding IL, whereas diffusion of all particles in the considered NF is similar. Intramolecular heat transfer in NPs is a key factor determining the difference of NFs from base liquids. Solvation free energy of NDs and CNTs in ILs was estimated from MD simulations. The geometric dimensions of NPs were shown to be a major source of entropic penalty. Temperature adjusts the entropic factor substantially by modifying a genuine local structure of the bulk base liquid. Our work contributes to engineering more stable and productive suspensions of NPs in ILs, which are necessary for essential progress in the field of NFs.

Abstract
Ionic liquid (IL)-surfactant complexes have significance both in applications and fundamental research, but their underlying dynamics are not well understood. We apply polarization-controlled two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D-IR) to study the dynamics of [BMIM][SCN]/surfactant/solvent model systems. We examine the effect of the choice of surfactants and solvent, and the IL-to-surfactant ratio (W-value), with a detailed analysis of the orientation and structural dynamics of each system. Different surfactants create very different environments for the entrapped ILs, ranging from a semi-static micro-environment to a fluxional environment that evolves even faster than the bulk IL. The oil-phase also clearly affects the microscopic dynamics. The anisotropy decay for entrapped ILs completes within 10 ps, which is similar to free thiocyanate ion in water, while a significant reorientation-induced spectral diffusion (RISD) effect is observed. The entrapped ionic liquid are highly dynamic for all W-values, and no core-shell structure is observed. We hypothesize that, instead of an ionic liquid-reverse micelle (IL-RM), the microscopic structure of this system is small colloidal dispersions or pairs of IL and surfactants. A detailed analysis of the polarization-controlled 2D-IR spectra of AOT system reveals a potential ion-exchange mechanism.
