Time-resolved fluorescence lifetime and depolarization measurements are used to investigate electronic excitation energy transfer and trapping in quinizarin-doped aluminosilicate sol-gel glasses. At low quinizarin concentrations donor-donor electronic energy transfer is dominant, however, at higher

✦ Synopsis
Time-resolved fluorescence depolarization measurements are used to probe chromophore orientational dynamics in aluminosilicate and silicate solutions, gels, and porous xerogel glasses. Since orientational chromophore dynamics depend on the local viscosity, these measurements are used to probe the local chromophore environment along the solution/gel/xerogel transition.
The ability of quinizarin to complex aluminum leads to different chromophore rotational dynamics in the silicate and aluminosilicate solutions and gels. However, we observe little chromophore orientational motion in either of the xerogel glasses, on a timescale of the fluorescence lifetime.
