Abstract
© 2020, The Author(s). Fluorescent molecular rotor dyes, including Cy3, Cy5, and Alexa Fluor 555, dissolved in micron-sized aqueous droplets (microdroplets) in oil were excited, and the fluorescence intensity was recorded as function of time. We observed lengthening of the fluorescence lifetime of these dyes at the water–oil periphery, which extended several microns inward. This behavior shows that intramolecular rotation is restricted at and near the microdroplet interface. Lengthened lifetimes were observed in water microdroplets but not in microdroplets composed of organic solvents. This lifetime change was relatively insensitive to added glycerol up to 60%, suggesting that solution viscosity is not the dominant mechanism. These restricted intramolecular rotations at and near the microdroplet periphery are consistent with the reduced entropy observed in chemical reactions in microdroplets compared to the same reaction conditions in bulk solution and helps us further understand why microdroplet chemistry differs so markedly from bulk-phase chemistry
