Interplay of micro- and macroscopic solvation in spectral responses of PACO in 1,4-dioxane-water mixtures: A combined ex...
In this paper, we report the spectral signatures of 3-(phenylamino)-2-cyclohexen-1-one (PACO) in a series of 1,4-dioxane-water mixtures obtained with steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. PACO appears to sense changes in local solvent structures when water is added gradually to pure 1,4-dioxane. For water mole fraction (chi(w)) =...
