Abstract: Dual fluorescence of a series of p-dialkylaminobenzoic acids in non-polar solvent n-hexane was observed.Picosecond time-resolved fluorescence and solvent polarity effect experiments demonstrated that the dual fluorescence is due to the excited state intramolecular charge transfer that produces the emissive charge transfer state in addition to the locally excited state.Dynamics data from the time-resolved fluorescence measurements indicated that the observation of the intramolecular charge transfer of p-dialkylaminobenzoic acids in nonpolar solvent is due to the low activation energy for the charge transfer process.

Key words: Intramolecular charge transfer, Dual fluorescence, p-Dialkylaminobenzoic acid, Non-polar solvent
