Time-resolved fluorescence depolarization was applied to investigate the dynamics of low-molecular-weight polyethylene glycols ( M W 150, 400, 1000, 4000) labeled by fluorescein-isothiocyanate. The analysis of measurements revealed considerable flexibility of the polymer chain. To interpret the obse

✦ Synopsis
The cyclization of a polystyrene chain (M,,=4500, .&4,/M.= 1.08), both ends labelled with I -pyrenyl groups, was studied in toluene and methylcyclohexane from 1 to 3500 bar. The major effect of pressure on the cyclization rate constant comes from its effect upon the viscosity. Nevertheless, for a full understanding of the results, changes in the quality of the solvent for the polymer should occur in methylcyclohexane (a poor solvent), but not in toluene (a good solvent). The rate of the excimer dissociation process increases with pressure, this being attributed to a decrease of the excimer binding energy, owing to the diminution of the distance between pyrenes in an excimer sandwich conformation.

Analysis of time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy measurements on DPH and TMA-DPH in POPC vesicles with and without cholesterol in terms of the rotational diffusion model shows two distinct x: minima which are statistically equivalent. This is explained by the fact that the anisotropy decay function
