Abstract
Excited-state relaxation in two prototypical shortwave infrared (SWIR) polymethine dyes developed for bioimaging, heptamethine chromenylium Chrom7 and flavylium Flav7, is studied by means of femtosecond transient absorption with broadband ultraviolet-to-SWIR probing complemented by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence and phosphorescence measurements. The relaxation processes of the dyes in dichloromethane are resolved with sub-100 fs temporal resolution using SWIR, near-IR, and visible photoexcitation. Different population members of the ground-state inhomogeneous ensemble are found to equilibrate via skeletal deformation changes with time constants of 90 fs and either 230 fs (Chrom7) and 350 fs (Flav7) followed by slower evolution matching the 1-ps timescale of diffusive solvation dynamics. Molecules excited into high-lying singlet electronic states (Sn) by visible excitation repopulate with time constants of 400 fs (Chrom7) and 450 fs (Flav7) the corresponding first excited singlet S1 states, which decay within several hundreds of picoseconds in dichloromethane and chloroform solvents. Vibrational relaxation in S1 for both Chrom7 and Flav7 in dichloromethane occurs with time constants of 350 and 800 fs for excess of vibrational energy of ∼1000 and 10 000 cm-1 deposited by near-IR and visible excitation, respectively. Two competing non-radiative processes are present in S1: temperature-independent internal conversion, and thermally-activated twisting about a carbon-carbon bond of the conjugated chain, which is substantial at room temperature but essentially nonreactive, producing traces of isomer product. Intersystem crossing in S1, and thus the triplet quantum yield, is minor. The importance of absorption bands from the excited S1 state in applications requiring high-intensity excitation conditions is discussed.

Abstract
Cerium dioxide-based materials are among the most studied for applications in the energy and environmental fields and are also of interest in biology and medicine. The fluorite structure of CeO2is locally distorted by the concomitant presence of doping cations, such as Gd3+and oxygen vacancies. The cation-anion bond length distribution then becomes increasingly asymmetric with the doping ratio and temperature. In these cases, the MD simulation results indicate that the commonly used maximum of the pair correlation functiong(r) first peak can no longer be adopted to estimate the mean bond length. To determine the true cation-anion bond length, the analysis of the radial distribution functionR(r) first peak is necessary. Furthermore, the asymmetry of this peak must be accounted for when extracting the mean value of the distribution. The gap between theg(r) maximum and theR(r) mean position derived from the fit using a skewed Gaussian function clearly increases with the doping ratio and temperature, leading to different conclusions concerning bond length evolution. The present study also suggests that care must be taken when the bond length is deduced from the pair distribution functionsGpdf(r) as is the case in total scattering experiments (x-ray and neutrons). Finally, relations between the cumulants of the effective distribution of distances as determined in extended x-ray absorption fine structure experiments and the cumulants describing the real distance distribution are proposed considering that both these distributions are modelled by a skewed Gaussian function.

Abstract
The local changes in protein hydration dynamics upon encapsulation of the protein or macromolecular crowding are essential to understand protein function in cellular environments. We were able to obtain a spatially-resolved picture of the influence of confinement and crowding on the hydration dynamics of the protein ubiquitin by analyzing the time-dependent Stokes shift (TDSS), as well as the intermolecular Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) at different sites of the protein by large-scale computer simulation of single and multiple proteins in water and confined in reverse micelles. Besides high advanced space resolved information on hydration dynamics we found a strong correlation of the change in NOE upon crowding or encapsulation and the change in the integral TDSS relaxation times in all investigated systems relative to the signals in a diluted protein solution. Changes in local protein hydration dynamics caused by encapsulation or crowding are reflected in the TDSS and the intermolecular NOE alike.![]()

Abstract
The effect of Gaussian dynamics on the line shapes in linear absorption and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy is well understood as the second-order cumulant expansion provides exact spectra. Gaussian solvent dynamics can be well analyzed using slope line analysis of two-dimensional correlation spectra as a function of the waiting time between pump and probe fields. Non-Gaussian effects are not as well understood, even though these effects are common in nature. The interpretation of the spectra, thus far, relies on complex case to case analysis. We investigate spectra resulting from two physical mechanisms for non-Gaussian dynamics, one relying on the anharmonicity of the bath and the other on non-linear couplings between bath coordinates. These results are compared with outcomes from a simpler log-normal dynamics model. We find that the skewed spectral line shapes in all cases can be analyzed in terms of the log-normal model, with a minimal number of free parameters. The effect of log-normal dynamics on the spectral line shapes is analyzed in terms of frequency correlation functions, maxline slope analysis, and anti-diagonal linewidths. A triangular line shape is a telltale signature of the skewness induced by log-normal dynamics. We find that maxline slope analysis, as for Gaussian dynamics, is a good measure of the solvent dynamics for log-normal dynamics.

Abstract
Boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) chromophores have a wide range of applications, spanning areas from biological imaging to solar energy conversion. Understanding the ultrafast dynamics of electronically excited BODIPY chromophores could lead to further advances in these areas. In this work, we characterize and compare the ultrafast dynamics of halogenated BODIPY chromophores through applying two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES). Through our studies, we demonstrate a new data analysis procedure for extracting the dynamic Stokes shift from 2DES spectra revealing an ultrafast solvent relaxation. In addition, we extract the frequency of the vibrational modes that are strongly coupled to the electronic excitation, and compare the results of structurally different BODIPY chromophores. We interpret our results with the aid of DFT calculations, finding that structural modifications lead to changes in the frequency, identity, and magnitude of Franck-Condon active vibrational modes. We attribute these changes to differences in the electron density of the electronic states of the structurally different BODIPY chromophores.

Abstract
Time-resolved stimulated emission spectroscopy was employed to probe the local environment of DASPMI (4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-N-methyl-pyridinium iodide) in binary solvents of different viscosity and in a sol-gel matrix. DASPMI is one of the molecules of choice to probe local environments, and the dependence of its fluorescence emission decay on viscosity has been previously used for this purpose in biological samples, solid matrices as well as in solution. The results presented in this paper show that time-resolved stimulated emission of DASPMI is a suitable means to probe the viscosity of local environments. Having the advantage of a higher time resolution, stimulated emission can provide information that is complementary to that obtained from fluorescence decay measurements, making it feasible to probe systems with lower viscosity.

Abstract
In this paper, we have performed the optimized structures of the red emitting material, 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-[p-(dimethyl amino) styryl]-4H-pyran (DCM), with different polarity solvent environments by using the density functional theory (DFT) method, B3LYP/6-31G*. The time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and the polarizable continuum model (PCM) have been used to obtain the optical properties in the solvent environment. It has been observed that when the solvent polarity increases, the DCM molecule exhibits the red shift in the maximum absorption wavelength [Formula: see text] and enhances the oscillator strength (f). The solvent polarity also enhances the electron transfer ability from the electron-donating dimethylamine group (-N(CH3)2) to the electron-withdrawing =C(CN)2group. The S0→ S1transition of DCM is found to be π–π*. The maximum absorption wavelengths [Formula: see text] of different solvent environments are found to be consistent with the reported experimental results.

Abstract
Polar solvation dynamics of coumarin 153 in acetonitrile, methanol, and butanol are investigated by dynamic Stokes shift function, S(t). In small protic solvents, it is known that an initial ultrafast component below 50 fs constitutes more than half of the total solvation process. We use fluorescence up-conversion technique via two-photon absorption process, which can provide 40 fs time resolution for the whole emission wavelength range. Moreover, time-resolved fluorescence spectra are recorded directly without the spectral reconstruction. We observe a temporal oscillation in frequency of whole emission spectrum in the solvation curve. In the obtained S(t), initial solvation time scale is 120 fs, invariant to solvents used in this experiment, although its amplitude varies in different solvents.

Abstract
A theoretical model used for calculating the fluorescence depletion spectrum (FDS) of molecules in liquids induced by femtosecond pump-probe laser pulses is proposed based on the reduced density matrix theory. The FDS intensity is obtained by calculating the stimulated emission of the excited electronic state. As an application of the theoretical model, the FDS of oxazine 750 (OX-750) molecule in acetone solution is calculated. The simulated FDS agrees with the experimental result of Liu et al. [J. Y. Liu et al., J. Phys. Chem. A 107, 10857 (2003)]. The calculated vibrational relaxation rate is 2.5 ps(-1) for the OX-750 molecule. Vibrational population dynamics and wave packet evolution in the excited state are described in detail. The effect of the probe pulse parameter on the FDS is also discussed.

Abstract
Photophysical properties of 2-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-1-methylpyridinium iodide (DASPMI) in various solvents were investigated using time- and space-correlated single photon counting. DASPMI is known to selectively stain mitochondria in living cells.1,2 The uptake and fluorescence intensity of DASPMI in mitochondria is a dynamic measure of membrane potential. Hence, an endeavor has been made to elucidate the mechanism of DASPMI fluorescence by obtaining spectrally resolved fluorescence decays in different solvents. A biexponential decay model was sufficient to globally describe the wavelength-dependent fluorescence in ethanol and chloroform. While in glycerol, a three-exponential decay model was necessary for global analysis. In the polar low-viscous solvent water, a monoexponential decay model fitted the decay data. The sensitivity of DASPMI to solvent viscosity was analyzed using various proportions of glycerol-ethanol mixtures. The lifetimes were found to increase with increasing solvent viscosity. The negative amplitudes of the short lifetime component found in chloroform and glycerol at the longer wavelengths validated the formation of new excited-state species from the initially excited state. Time-resolved emission spectra in chloroform and glycerol showed a biphasic increase of spectral width and emission maxima. The spectral width had an initial fast increase within 150 ps and a near constant thereafter. A three-state model of generalized scheme, on the basis of successive formation of locally excited state (LE), intramolecular charge transfer state (ICT), and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state, has been proposed to explain the excited-state kinetics. The presumed role of solvation dynamics of ICT and TICT states leading to the asymmetrical broadening and structureless fluorescence has been substantiated by the decomposition of time-resolved emission spectra in chloroform, glycerol, and ethanol/glycerol mixtures.

Abstract
We present a general two-color two-pulse femtosecond pump-dump approach to study the specific population transfer along the reaction coordinate through the higher vibrational energy levels of excited states of a complex solvated molecule via the depleted spontaneous emission. The time-dependent fluorescence depletion provides the correlated dynamical information between the monitored fluorescence state and the SEP "dumped" dark states, and therefore allow us to obtain the dynamics of the formation of the dark states corresponding to the ultrafast photoisomerization processes. The excited-state dynamics of LDS 751 have been investigated as a function of solvent viscosity and solvent polarity, where a cooperative two-step isomerization process is clearly identified within LDS 751 upon excitation.

Abstract
We report ultrafast electron transfer (ET) in charge-transfer complexes that shows solvent relaxation effects consistent with adiabatic crossover models of nonadiabatic ET. The complexes of either dimethyl viologen (MV) or diheptyl viologen (HV) with 4,4'-biphenol (BP) (MVBP or HVBP complexes) have identical charge-transfer spectra and kinetics in ethylene glycol with approximately 900 fs ET decay. We assign this decay time as largely due to adiabatic control of a predicted approximately 40 fs nonadiabatic ET. The MVBP decay in methanol of 470 fs is reduced in mixtures having low (2-20%) concentrations of acetonitrile to as short as 330 fs; these effects are associated with faster relaxation time in methanol and its mixtures. In contrast, HVBP has much longer ET decay in methanol (730 fs) and mixture effects that only reduce its decay to 550 fs. We identify the heptyl substituent as creating major perturbations to solvent relaxation times in the methanol solvation shell of HVBP. These charge-transfer systems have reasonably well-defined geometry with weak electronic coupling where the electronic transitions are not dependent on intramolecular motions. We used a nonadiabatic ET model with several models for adiabatic crossover predictions to discuss the small variation of energy gap with solvent and the ET rates derived from adiabatic solvent control. A time correlation model of solvent relaxation was used to define the solvent relaxation times for this case of approximately zero-barrier ET.

Abstract
A self-consistent microscopic theory has been used to calculate the limiting ionic conductivity of unipositive rigid ions in formamide at different temperatures. The calculated results are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. The above theory can also predict successfully the experimentally observed temperature dependence of total ionic conductivity of a given uniunivalent electrolyte in formamide. The effects of dynamic polar solvent response on ionic conductivity have been investigated by studying the time dependent progress of solvation of a polarity probe dissolved in formamide. The intermolecular vibration (libration) band that is often detected in the range of 100-200 cm(-1) in formamide is found to play an important role in determining both the conductivity and the ultrafast polar solvent response in formamide. The time dependent decay of polar solvation energy in formamide has been studied at three different temperatures, namely, at 283.15, 298.15, and 328.15 K. While the predicted decay at 298.15 K is in good agreement with the available experimental data, the calculated results at the other two temperatures should be tested against experiments.

Abstract
Ultrashort UV laser pulses were used to excite tryptophan residues of heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HS-PG) in blood substitute Krebs solution. Tryptophan fluorescence is sensitive to the environment, so its shift and decay indicate the conformation and solvation state of the protein. We monitored stimulated emission and excited-state absorption by probing with delayed white-light femtosecond pulses. Comparison with bare tryptophan revealed transient absorption features which are characteristic for HS-PG. Furthermore, the effect of adding calcium salt was investigated. Differences in the spectra from solutions with and without calcium developed during several minutes, which points to changes in protein conformation, but could only be measured in the sub-ps regime. These results provide a first step to a better understanding of the molecular formation of nanoplaques in blood vessels. The goal of this work is to open a way towards biosensing of the initial stages in atherogenesis allowing for a risk assessment in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Ultrafast relaxation dynamics of the excited singlet (S(1)) state of Michler's ketone (MK) has been investigated in different kinds of solvents using a time-resolved absorption spectroscopic technique with 120 fs time resolution. This technique reveals that conversion of the locally excited (LE) state to the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state because of twisting of the N,N-dimethylanilino groups with respect to the central carbonyl group is the major relaxation process responsible for the multi-exponential and probe-wavelength-dependent transient absorption dynamics of the S1 state of MK, but solvation dynamics does not have a significant role in this process. Theoretical optimization of the ground-state geometry of MK shows that the dimethylanilino groups attached to the central carbonyl group are at a dihedral angle of about 51 degrees with respect to each other because of steric interaction between the phenyl rings. Following photoexcitation of MK to its S1 state, two kinds of twisting motions have been resolved. Immediately after photoexcitation, an ultrafast "anti-twisting" motion of the dimethylanilino groups brings back the pretwisted molecule to a near-planar geometry with high mesomeric interaction and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) character. This motion is observed in all kinds of solvents. Additionally, in solvents of large polarity, the dimethylamino groups undergo further twisting to about 90 degrees with respect to the phenyl ring, to which it is attached, leading to the conversion of the ICT state to the TICT state. Similar characteristics of the absorption spectra of the TICT state and the anion radical of MK establish the nearly pure electron transfer (ET) character of the TICT state. In aprotic solvents, because of the steep slope of the potential energy surface near the Franck-Condon (FC) or LE state region, the LE state is nearly nonemissive at room temperature and fluorescence emission is observed from only the ICT and TICT states. Alternatively, in protic solvents, because of an intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction between MK and the solvent, the LE region is more flat and stimulated emission from this state is also observed. However, a stronger hydrogen-bonding interaction between the TICT state and the solvent as well as the closeness between the two potential energy surfaces due to the TICT and the ground states cause the nonradiative coupling between these states to be very effective and, hence, cause the TICT state to be weakly emissive. The multi-exponentiality and strong wavelength-dependence of the kinetics of the relaxation process taking place in the S1 state of MK have arisen for several reasons, such as strong overlapping of transient absorption and stimulated emission spectra of the LE, ICT, and TICT states, which are formed consecutively following photoexcitation of the molecule, as well as the fact that different probe wavelengths monitor different regions of the potential energy surface representing the twisting motion of the excited molecule.

Abstract
A unified description is presented of sequential and coherent contributions to optical transient absorption measured by femtosecond pump-supercontinuum probe spectroscopy. All inherent transient terms are taken into account. The "coherence spike" seen during pump-probe overlap is thereby decomposed into its components. The method is demonstrated with rhodamine 110 in methanol. Pure homogeneous dephasing times are obtained from a simultaneous fit of all pertinent measurements. Vibronic structure in the coherence spectrum is assigned to stimulated Raman scattering between vibrational levels in the first excited electronic state. The time-zero spectrum for stimulated emission and the solvation relaxation function are also obtained.

Abstract
The time-dependent energy distribution of solvation dynamics is studied by molecular dynamics simulations of a Lennard-Jones mixture. We calculate the response functions of the average and the variance which correspond to the spectral peak shift and bandwidth. Our calculation shows that the variance relaxation is slower than that of the average. The result agrees qualitatively with the experimental results. Dividing the obtained response functions into subcomponents caused by each solvent, we find that the relaxation is dominated by that solvent which strongly interacts with the solute. Extracting the redistribution component from the response functions, we find that it causes the slower relaxation of the response function. Thus, we conclude that the difference of the slower relaxations between the average and variance is caused by the redistribution process.
