The displacement of the fluorescence band of several dipolar molecules and of the pyrene/N,N-dimethylaniline exciplex have been measured as a function of temperature in various solvents. The excited-state dipole moments calculated from these thermochromic shifts agree with those derived by other met

β¦ Synopsis
Thennochromic shifts of pyrene excimer were obtained in cyclohexane (25-60'(Z) and ethanol (25-70%). The observed shifts are due to changes in polarinability between the states involved in the electronic transition. The parameters obtained from thermoehromic shifts agree with the ones calculated from solvatochromic shifts. This implies that the difference in polarizability between the electronic states does not change with solvent and temperature in the range of temperatures covered.

An assay using fluorogenic peptides based on the monomer/excimer fluorescence features of pyrene was developed to measure the proteolytic activity of trypsin, a serine protease. Two pyrene moieties were incorporated into the respective N- and C-terminus of the peptides as (pyrene)-C-Xaa-C-(pyrene),
