Abstract
The effect of cholesteric order in a 59. 5/15. 6/24. 9 (w/w/w) mixture of cholesteryl oleate/cholesteryl nonanoate/cholesteryl chloride (CM) on the intramolecular fluorescence quenching of 1,3-bis(1-pyrenyl) propane (P3P) has been explored. A comparison with fluorescence quenching of N,N-dimethyl-4- left bracket 3-(1-pyrenyl)propyl right bracket aniline (P3D) in CM is made. From the Arrhenius activation parameters for quenching in the cholesteric and isotropic phases, it is concluded that the motions which take the ground state conformers of P3P to their quenching transition state are nearly impervious to macroscopic CM mesophase order.
