Fluorescence from the first two compounds in nonpolar media is attributed to an excited state relatively unaffected by the charge transfer process. In polar media, fluorescence is believed to originate from another excited state that possesses considerable charge transfer character, and whose energy is strongly influenced by solvent polarity. At high pressure, an apparent fluoresence shift to higher energy was observed in viscous alcohols. This was explained as the introduction of fluorescence from the energetically higher lying non-charge transfer excited state. This explanation is supported by the dual fluorescence decay observed from ADMA coincident with the sign reversal in fluorescence peak shift. Three excited states are believed to affect ANS fluorescence, two of them with charge transfer character. The model describing the excited states of ADMA and PRODAN is consistent with ANS fluorescence in every media except glycerol, where the viscosity and large solvent polarizability are believed to induce an excited state molecular conformation different from those in other media.","The fourth compound, nitroaniline, was studied in its three isomeric forms, with and without N-methylation.
