The photophysical properties of benzil dissolved in free solution and in solution confined into a single bead of porous glasses (size < 100 μm) were investigated by femtosecond transient absorption microspectroscopy. In nonpolar solvent, cyclohexane, the rate of conformational change from the skewed to the near trans-planar form was reduced from 2.2 × 1012s-1 in free solution to 9.1 × 1011s-1 in porous glasses with an average pore diameter of 26 nm. In polar solvent, DMF, however, there was little difference between the two systems.

The effect of the addition of water, which is a key strategy for tuning the properties of these structured systems, was also tested. In particular, the excited state dynamics of the probes, measured by femtosecond-resolved transient absorption, proved instrumental in understanding the changes in the structural properties of the DESs, namely reduced viscosity and enhanced heterogeneity, as the water percentage increases. Differences between the various DESs in terms of both local microheterogeneity and bulk viscosity also emerged from the peculiar multi-exponential solvation dynamics undergone by the excited states of the probes.</p></div></div></div>
