Excited-state deactivation dynamics of Thioflavin-T (ThT) in gradual viscosity solvents were investigated. Femtosecond transient absorption spectra and dynamic decay curves both present significant distinction of ThT in different volume ratios binary mixtures solvents. Dynamics fitting lifetime of twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state is strongly dependent on solvents viscosity. Compared to rotation corresponding time of ThT in low viscosity solvent (0.6 cp) experimentally coincident well with Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) equation, the relation between rotation corresponding time and relatively high viscosity (5.9 cp to 1091.2 cp) is more consistent with fractional SED equation. Combined with optimized geometric structures of ThT by density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory, further understand TICT state lifetime increases with increasing solvents viscosity. Our work provides a comprehensive understanding of fluorescence molecular rotor (FMR) deactivation process in different viscosity solvents and is helpful to design new FMR. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
