✦ Synopsis


Absorption and emission spectra of 5-cyano-N-alkyl-indolines have been compared to those of the corresponding p-cyano-N,N-dialkylanilines, and the red shift and anomalously low absorption coefficient of the indolines analysed in terms of a molecules-in-molecules (MIM) model. The widely applied cos* 0 equation relating oscillator strength and intramolecular twist angle 0 is shown to be inadequate for near planar geometries in this case. The observation of an isoemissive point in the fluorescence spectra of the indolines indicates the existence of a around state conformational equilibrium. Fluorescence and excitation anisotropy are discussed in terms of aiibronic coupling mechanism: * Note that on the basis of REMINGTON'S data for the aband (I.&), the indoline compound should be the most planar one.
