摘要: A molecular-level description of the aqueous nanochannels in lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) is crucial for their widespread utilization diverse fields. Herein, polarity and hydrogen bonding effects LLC water molecules have been simultaneously explored using a single probe, 4'-N,N-dimethylamino-3-hydroxyflavone (DMA3HF), by unique multiparametric sensitivity excited state proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) phenomenon. The decreased ESIPT efficiency significantly retarded dynamics (>20 times) DMA3HF phases suggests dominant influence strong hydrogen-bonded solute-solvent complexes that leads to high activation barrier mesophases. on elucidated enhanced sampling techniques based classical MD simulations explicit water. via an extended wire associated with barrier, substantiating experimentally observed slow inside LLCs.
