37. The modification of the Fluoromax-3 spectrofluorometer consists in the Peltier-cooling down to -10°C of the detector photomultiplier (PMT, Hamamatsu R928P) located in a housing (with external water circuit) outside of the Fluoromax-3. The exit slit of the monochromator is focused on the PMT photocathode by an optimized toric mirror.

73. It is of interest to note here that the maximum of the main band in the absorption spectrum of the ICT state of DMABN in MeCN is at a longer wavelength (320 nm, refs. [6,51]) than that of the benzonitrile radical anion (314 nm) in the similar aprotic solvent dimethylformamide (ref. [53]). Such a rather small difference is not too surprising, in view of the presence of the electronically coupled (ref. [9]) dimethyl-amino group in DMABN.
