Abstract

We present the results of experimental and theoretical studies of the photochromic properties of electrons trapped in clusters of polar molecules. We examined the UV fluence dependent visible absorbance of a pyrene/methanol solution with attention given to the kinetic properties of the system, its transient response and fade times, and long term photochemical properties. Preliminary data on dimethyl sulfoxide are also discussed.
