“…Intensity decay in neat ILs is typically non-exponential [24,35,51,53,55], and the scope and complexity of interactions in neat ILs has been shown to require up to five exponentials to fully and adequately describe the intensity decay data [55]. Reports have suggested that ion translational/diffusional motions are collectively described by sub-picosecond dynamics and slower solvent dynamics [18,20,40,41,43,47]. Samanta described additional contributions to solute-solvent interactions, such as solvent shell reorganization, orientational relaxation, dipolar interactions, aggregate translation and rotation, etc., that will also influence the C153 emission [35].…”
