This document is a first stage report submitted as part of an M.Sc. project studying the preferential solvation of a hydrogen bonding fluorescent probe in alkane-alcohol mixtures using time-resolved emission spectroscopy (TRES). The report introduces the project, presents steady-state fluorescence results showing solvent-dependent spectral shifts and intensity quenching. Time-resolved fluorescence measurements reveal biexponential decays with rise times indicating translational diffusion. TRES and solvent correlation functions provide insight into solvation dynamics, with methanol causing stronger quenching than larger alcohols. Preliminary results support assigning the rise time to dipolar enrichment of the solvation shell.
