Abstract
A large number of multipolar dyes undergo excited-state symmetry breaking (ESSB) in polar media. During this process, electronic excitation, initially distributed evenly over the molecule, localizes, at least partially, on one donor-acceptor branch. To resolve its initial stage, ESSB is investigated with a donor-acceptor-donor dye in binary mixtures of nonpolar and polar solvents using time-resolved infrared absorption spectroscopy. The presence of a few polar molecules around the dye is sufficient to initiate ESSB. Although the extent of asymmetry in a mixture is close to that in a pure solvent of similar polarity, the dynamics are slower and involve translational diffusion. However, preferential solvation in the mixtures leads to a larger local polarity. Furthermore, inhomogeneous broadening of the S1 ← S0 absorption band of the dye is observed in the mixtures, allowing for a photoselection of solutes with different local environments and ESSB dynamics.

Abstract
Formation of liquid condensates plays a critical role in biology via localization of different components or via altered hydrodynamic transport, yet the hydrogen-bonding environment within condensates, pivotal for solvation, has remained elusive. We explore the hydrogen-bond dynamics within condensates formed by the low-complexity domain of the fused in sarcoma protein. Probing the hydrogen-bond dynamics sensed by condensate proteins using two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy of the protein amide I vibrations, we find that frequency-frequency correlations of the amide I vibration decay on a picosecond time scale. Interestingly, these dynamics are markedly slower for proteins in the condensate than in a homogeneous protein solution, indicative of different hydration dynamics. All-atom molecular dynamics simulations confirm that lifetimes of hydrogen-bonds between water and the protein are longer in the condensates than in the protein in solution. Altered hydrogen-bonding dynamics may contribute to unique solvation and reaction dynamics in such condensates.

Abstract
The viscosity of cell membranes is a crucial parameter that affects the diffusion of small molecules both across and within the lipid membrane and that is related to several diseases. Therefore, the possibility to measure quantitatively membrane viscosity on the nanoscale is of great interest. Here, we report a complete investigation of the photophysics of an amphiphilic membrane-targeted azobenzene (ZIAPIN2) and we propose its use as a viscosity probe for cell membranes. We exploit ZIAPIN2 trans-cis photoisomerization to develop a molecular viscometer and to assess the viscosity of Escherichia coli bacteria membranes employing time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Fluorescence lifetime measurements of ZIAPIN2 in E. coli bacteria suspensions correctly indicate that the membrane viscosity decreases as the temperature of the sample increases. Given the non-homogeneity and the anisotropy of cell membranes, as supported by the photophysical characterization of the probe within the lipid bilayer, we shed new light on the intricate membrane rheology.

Abstract
The nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) is a consequence of cross-relaxation between nuclear spins mediated by dipolar coupling. Its sensitivity to internuclear distances has made it an increasingly important tool for the determination of through-space atom proximity relationships within molecules of sizes ranging from the smallest systems to large biopolymers. With the support of sophisticated FT-NMR techniques, the NOE plays an essential role in structure elucidation, conformational and dynamic investigations in liquid-state NMR. The efficiency of magnetization transfer by the NOE depends on the molecular rotational correlation time, whose value depends on solution viscosity. The magnitude of the NOE between 1H nuclei varies from +50% when molecular tumbling is fast to -100% when it is slow, the latter case corresponding to the spin diffusion limit. In an intermediate tumbling regime, the NOE may be vanishingly small. Increasing the viscosity of the solution increases the motional correlation time, and as a result, otherwise unobservable NOEs may be revealed and brought close to the spin diffusion limit. The goal of this review is to report the resolution of structural problems that benefited from the manipulation of the negative NOE by means of viscous solvents, including examples of molecular structure determination, conformation elucidation and mixture analysis (the ViscY method).

Abstract
An unprecedented two-step sequence was designed by combining batch and continuous flow (CF) protocols for the upgrading of two aminodiol regioisomers derived from glycerol, i.e., 3-amino-1,2-propanediol and 2-amino-1,3-propanediol (serinol). Under batch conditions, at 80–90 °C, both substrates were quantitatively converted into the corresponding amides through a catalyst-free N-acetylation reaction mediated by an innocuous enol ester as isopropenyl acetate (iPAc). Thereafter, at 30–100 °C and 1–10 atm, the amide derivatives underwent a selective CF-acetalisation in the presence of acetone and a solid acid catalyst, to afford the double-functionalized (amide-acetal) products.

Abstract
Characterization of propyl acetate/butyronitrile (PA/BuCN) mixtures by various spectroscopic techniques is described. The neat solvents have identical viscosities and refractive indices but their dielectric constants differ significantly. Detailed solvatochromic and titration data show that the mixtures do not exhibit specific solute-solvent interactions or significant dielectric enrichment effects. Therefore, the mixtures are ideally suited for investigating the effect of dielectric stabilization on (photo)chemical reactions. Dynamic Stokes shift experiments performed on two push-pull probes demonstrate that the solvation dynamics are significantly decelerated in the mixtures as compared to the neat solvents. Therefore, the mixtures allow for varying both the extent and time scale of the dielectric stabilization in a predictable manner.

Abstract
Mixtures of glycerol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are studied by dielectric spectroscopy (DS) and by 1H field-cycling (FC) NMR relaxometry in the entire concentration range and down to glass-forming temperatures (170-323 K). Molecular dynamics is accessed for 0 < xDMSO ≤ 0.64, at higher concentration phase separation occurs. The FC technique provides the frequency dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate which is transformed to the susceptibility representation and thus allows comparing NMR and DS results. The DS spectra virtually do not change with xDMSO and T, only the relaxation times become shorter. This is in contrast to the non-associated mixture toluene/quinaldine for which strong spectral changes occur. The FC relaxation spectra of glycerol in solution with DMSO or (deuterated) DMSO-d6 display a bimodal structure with a high-frequency part reflecting rotational and a low-frequency part reflecting translational dynamics. Regarding the rotational contribution in the glycerol/DMSO-d6 mixtures, no spectral change with xDMSO and T is observed. Yet, the non-deuterated mixture reveals a broader relaxation spectrum. Time constants τrot(T) probed by the two techniques complement each, a range 10-11 s < τ < 10 s is covered. The glass transition temperature Tg(xDMSO) is determined, yielding Tg = 149.5 ± 1 K of pure DMSO by extrapolation. Analysing the low-frequency FC NMR spectra allows to determine the diffusion coefficient Dtrans. Its logarithm shows a linear xDMSO-dependence as does lg τrot. The ratio Dtrans/Drot is independent of xDMSO and its low value indicates large separation of translation and rotation. The corresponding unphysically small hydrodynamic radius indicates strong failure of Stokes-Einstein-Debye relation. Such anomaly is taken as characteristics of a 3d hydrogen-bonded network. We conclude, although DMSO is an aprotic liquid the molecule is continuously incorporated in the hydrogen network of glycerol. Both molecules display common dynamics, i.e., no decoupling of the component dynamics is found in contrast to quinaldine/toluene with a similar Tg difference of its components.

Abstract
New luminogens for aggregation‐induced emission (AIE), which are characterized by a branched cross‐conjugated 2,6‐bis(1,2,2‐triarylvinyl)pyridine motif, have been synthesized exploiting the one‐pot Ti‐mediated tetraarylation of 2,6‐bis(arylethynyl)pyridines. Thin layer solid‐state emitters were prepared by spin‐coating of the luminogens, while AIE‐colloidal dispersions were investigated in terms of optical density and scattering behaviour. This has given insight into particle size distributions, time evolution of the aggregation and the influence of different functionalization patterns on the luminescence of molecular aggregates. In particular, a combination of extinction spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering is being proposed as a powerful method for investigating the dynamic aggregation process in AIE‐type colloids.

Abstract
The formation of a halogen-bond (XB) complex in the excited state was recently reported with a quadrupolar acceptor–donor–acceptor dye in two iodine-based liquids (J. Phys. Chem. Lett.2017, 8, 3927–3932). The ultrafast decay of this excited complex to the ground state was ascribed to an electron transfer quenching by the XB donors. We examined the mechanism of this process by investigating the quenching dynamics of the dye in the S1 state using the same two iodo-compounds diluted in inert solvents. The results were compared with those obtained with a non-halogenated electron acceptor, fumaronitrile. Whereas quenching by fumaronitrile was found to be diffusion controlled, that by the two XB compounds is slower, despite a larger driving force for electron transfer. A Smoluchowski–Collins–Kimball analysis of the excited-state population decays reveals that both the intrinsic quenching rate constant and the quenching radius are significantly smaller with the XB compounds. These results point to much stronger orientational constraint for quenching with the XB compounds, indicating that electron transfer occurs upon formation of the halogen bond.

Abstract
Bimolecular photoinduced electron transfer between perylene and two quenchers was investigated in an imidazolium room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) and in a dipolar solvent mixture of the same viscosity using transient absorption on the subpicosecond to submicrosecond time scales. Whereas charge separation dynamics were similar in both solvents, significant differences were observed in the temporal evolution of the ensuing radical ions: although small, the free-ion yield is significantly larger in the RTIL, and recombination of the ion pair to the triplet state of perylene is more efficient in the dipolar solvent. The temporal evolution of reactant, ion, and triplet state populations could be well reproduced using unified encounter theory. This analysis reveals that the observed differences can be explained by the strong screening of the Coulomb potential in the ion pair by the ionic solvent. In essence, RTILs favor free ions compared to highly dipolar solvents of the same viscosity.

Abstract
We have pioneered the use of liquid polar organic molecules as alternatives to rigid gate-dielectrics for the fabrication of graphene field-effect transistors. The unique high net dipole moment of various polar organic molecules allows for easy manipulation of graphene's conductivity due to the formation of an electrical double layer with a high-capacitance at the liquid and graphene interface. Here, we compare the performances of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile, propionamide, and valeramide as polar organic liquid dielectrics in graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs). We demonstrate improved performance for a GFET with a liquid dielectric comprised of DMSO with high electron and hole mobilities of 154.0 cm²/Vs and 154.6 cm²/Vs, respectively, and a Dirac voltage <5 V.
