Popis: The photophysical behavior of the trans-4-propoxy 4′-nitrostilbene (PNS) as well as its one- and two-photon polymerization properties are reported. A detailed solvatochromic analysis of the steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence indicates that the locally excited state of PNS (LE) undergoes multiple deactivation pathways which are sequentially triggered by the solvent polarity. In low polar solvent, an efficient intersystem crossing (ISC) identified as a S1→Tn process leads to the population of the lowest triple state from which the trans−cis photoisomerization is mainly proceeding. From ns-laser flash photolysis measurements, it also appears that the T1 state which exhibits a nπ* character can efficiently abstract a hydrogen from aliphatic amines and subsequently produces α-aminoalkyl radicals, highly reactive species for the photoinitiation of free-radical polymerization. As a consequence, PNS constitutes a good photoinitiating system. However, the further increase of the solvent polarity opens a n...
