Notes:
Absorbance, excitation, and emission measurements have been performed with methyl benzoate and five model compounds, C6H5COO (CH2)xOOCC6H5, x = 2-6. Under appropriate conditions, three of the model compounds (those with x = 3, 4, 5) show evidence for the formation of intramolecular ground-state dimers. The model compound with x = 5 can form two types of dimers which emit with different energies. The model compound with x = 3 forms one of these dimers, and the model compound with x = 4 prefers the other ground-state dimer. Molecular modeling of the dimers suggests that the two conformations of the ground-state dimers differ in the orientation of the two C=O bonds. In the one dimer these two bonds are nearly parallel, but in the other they make an angle of about 120°. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
