Abstract
The emission spectra of polar aromatic molecules in rigid, polar solution are shown to depend on the exciting wavelength. Occurrence of the phenomenon depends on both the excited-state lifetime of the chromophore and the degree of rigidity of the medium. The results are interpreted in terms of a model which stresses the contribution of micro-environmental heterogeneity to electronic absorption and emission spectra.Entities:
