Since the first report by Lippert on dual fluorescence exhibited by p-(dimethylamino) benzonitrile (DMABN), 1 a vast number of studies have been devoted to elucidation of the mechanism of the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) emission of the molecules in which a donor and an acceptor moiety are linked by a single bond. 2 The twisted intramolecular CT (TICT) model3 has been widely accepted as the mechanism for the stabilization of the ICT excited state, 2 where the CT excited state is accompanied by a 90 twist of the dimethylamino group with respect to the aromatic ring, while some other ideas than the TICT model have also been proposedsfor example, a quinoid-type structure model for DMABN. 4a However, the formation of the ICT excited state via the intramolecular stabilization such as the TICT mechanism is usually accompanied by inevitable solvation of such a highly polarized excited state; it has been difficult to observe the ICT state induced only by the intramolecular origin. Whereas supersonic molecular beam techniques have been applied for spectroscopic studies of ICT molecules under an isolated molecular condition, 4 no CT emission has been found for isolated jet-cooled molecules without solvation or dimer formation until now. 5Among a wide variety of the ICT molecules, 2 phenyldisilanes, where the disilanyl group and the aryl π system serve as an electron donor and an acceptor, respectively, are quite unique because they show dual fluorescence, one originating from a locally excited (LE) state and the other from an ICT state, even in a nonpolar solvent. 6, 7 We have found that jet-cooled (p-cyanophenyl) pentamethyldisilane (CPDS), 8 which bears a strong electron-accepting substituent at the para position of the phenylpentamethyldisilane (PDS), shows the ICT emission from the isolated molecules without solvation. In addition, the clusters of CPDS with water, CPDS-(H2O) n (n) 1 and 2), were found to exhibit the enhanced and significantly red-shifted CT emission.
