Temperature-dependent Rotational Dynamics of a 3-(benzo[d]Thiazol-2-yl)-7-diethylamino)-2 H-chromen-2-one non-polar Probe in n-pentanol, n-nonanol, and n-decanol Solvents

Rotational dynamics of non-polar probe 3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-7-(diethylamino)-2 H-chromen-2-one (3BT7D2H-one) and in n-pentanol, n-nonanol, and n-decanol alcohol solvents is studied using steady-state fluorescence depolarization and time-correlated single photon counting technique with varying temperature. Experimental observations indicate that 3BT7D2H-one rotates slowly in n-decanol solvent compared to other chosen solvents. Rotational motion is analyzed using the Stoke ’s-Einstein-Debye (SED) model. 3BT7D2H-one solute rotational dynamics is satisfactorily described by the SED slip boundary limit in all three solvents.
