Radiative and nonradiative excited state processes for studying the sol to gel evolution

The sol to gel evolution of systems based on the hydrolysis of titanium n-butoxide, Ti(OBu n ) 4 , in 1-butanol was investigated by monitoring the changes of the radiative and nonradiative electronic excited state processes of embedded dyes (cresyl violet and 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6(p-dimeth...
