Naturforsch. 35 a, (980); received October 6, 980 Absorption and emission spectra o f stilbene 3 (Na-bis-ortho-stilbene-sulphonate) were measured and discussed on the basis of quantum-chemical calculations. The decay of the polarized fluorescence was investigated, yielding information about the rotational behaviour of stilbene 3 in solutions.. Introduction Dye laser materials should be resistent to photodecomposition and should have a high quantum yield and good thermal stability. In the blue-violet lasing region, scintillator and coumarin dyes are often used. A new class of laser dyes in this spectral region are the bis-styryl compounds [, 2, 3]. Stilbene 3 (Na-bis-ortho-stilbene sulphonate) in particular is a highly efficient photostable dye, soluble in water and alcohols. Strong absorption in the wavelength region of nm makes this dye suitable for excitation which N2-pulse and Arcw lasers. With this dye, we obtained tunable laser action generating single spikes of less than 450 ps fwhm duration in ethylene glycol-methanol solutions excited with a subnanosecond compact TEA N2 laser [4] of only 0 [xj pulse energy but 200 Hz repetition rate. It should be emphasized that no laser action could be obtained under these conditions for rhodamine 6G or 4-methylumbelliferone solutions. These favourable properties of stilbene 2 motivated us to study its spectral characteristics along with the decay and polarization of its fluorescence, as well as to perform some relevant quantumchemical calculations for this molecule. culations, all those configurations which are symmetry allowed in the first singlet excited state, were included. The geometrical model shown in Fig. was used. The stilbene-like parts were taken to be planar with bond lengths 0.4 nm and 0.48 nm in the benzene rings and between the ethylene carbon atoms and benzene rings, respectively. We assumed the length of the ethylenic bonds to be 0.35 nm and all angles 20. For a justification of these assumptions see Ref. [5]. In contrast to [3], the trans-configuration of the whole molecule was assumed because of the repelling interaction between the two sulphonate which carry a negative charge on their atoms. groups, oxygen The length of the central bond between the two stilbene-like parts was assumed to be 0.5 nm, and two values for the twisting angle 0 around this NG + \ 0,V,0 ^. / \ V \ \ / / / 0,48 x 2.

3 32 R. K. Bauer et al. Some Luminescence Properties of the Laser Dye Stilbene 3 3. Absorption and Emission Spectra A sample of stilbene 3, received from Dr. R. Raue, was used without further purification in the solvents ethylene glycol, glycerol (5% aqueous), water and methanol. Special care was taken to avoid any fluorescence of the solvente themselves. At the concentration 2 x 0~ 5 M the optical density did not exceed 0.2. In the absorption spectra of stilbene 3 in water and ethylene glycol (Fig. 2.) one observes a pronounced shift between these two absorption curves. The absorption spectra measured in water and methanol are practically the same, as is also the case for glycerol and ethylene glycol. The observed solvent shift cannot be explained by different dielectric influences. The only parameter of the solvents apparently correlated with the shift is the viscosity, but we cannot provide any explanation of this phenomenon. The calculated electronic transition energies and relative oscillator strengths are also compared with the experimental spectra in Figure 2. For chargesulphur atom separations within the range of 0.22 to 0.35 nm, the three absorption bands agree qualitatively with the calculated allowed electronic transitions. The agreement for these transitions is best at about 0.3 nm. The other properties did not change significantly within this range. The emission spectra were measured in glycerol, in ethylene glycol and in a : water-ethylene glycol mixture at different temperatures and excitation wavelengths. A "Spectrim" (CTi-Cyrogenics) sample cooler was used to attain the low temperatures. Some of the emission spectra obtained are also shown in Figure 2. It is evident that the absorption and emission spectral overlap is small. A characteristic feature of the emission spectra is the pronounced vibrational structure contrasting with the structureless absorption profiles. This phenomenon may be understood in terms of the angular orientation of the two stilbene-sulphonate moieties connected by a biphenyl-like bond. There is a strong analogy to the case of biphenyl [0]. As is well known, this molecule is planar in its first excited state but twisted in the ground state by 42 []. The emission spectra of stilbene 3 in glycerol for different temperatures and excitation wavelengths are shown in Figure 3. At 340 K the emission spectra are red-shifted, practically independent of the excitation wavelength and broader than the spectra measured at 80 K. At this lower temperature the Fig. 2.

The decay times of the polarized components and the EA of the fluorescence of stilbene 3 dissolved in glycerolmethanol mixtures were measured by means of a phase-fluorometer and compensation Polarimeter, respectively. The viscosity of these mixtures was measured using the Hoeppler viscometer. The results of these measurements are presented in Table 3 and Figure 4. The quite accurate fit between calculated and measured values of T"/T and r x /r means that the assumption of an exponential decay of the EA is justified. We conclude therefore that stilbene 3 molecules, which are of a rather elongated shape, behave in solution like quasispherical* particles, which allows us to calculate * In our case, for V.5 X 0~ 2 cm 3 and taking the effective length of the stilbene 3 molecule as about 2 nm (Fig. ) we estimate an axial ratio of about : 4, assuming a rod-shaped solvation shell. In contrast to this, calculations for the prolate ellipsoid of revolution based on Perrin's formulae [7] lead to an axial ratio value of about which indicates that the solvation shell is effectively spherical. the effective volume V. The calculated volumes depended on the solvent composition. Since the solvent shell may be considered to arise from solute-solvent interaction, its volume will reflect the magnitude and/or character of this interaction. The values of the limiting EA are constant at r0 = within the limits of experimental error. For a linear oscillator with parallel absorption and emission transition moments, the maximum value of the EA is equal 0.4. The observed difference might be due to an angle ö between absorption and emission transition moments, for which the maximum value of the EA is ri 0.6 cos 2 ( The value of 6 obtained from the quantumchemical calculations (results in Table 2) is on the order of, leading to rf = It is therefore evident that stilbene 3 in solution undergoes rapid librations which are independent of solvent composition. The average value of the mean decay time r of total fluorescence is ± 0.05 ns.
