The rotational diffusion of three mechanically similar phenoxazine dyes possessing distinct electrical properties was studied in isopropanol. The results, along with previously presented results from other polar solvents, were analyzed in terms of continuum theories for rotational dielectric friction. It was found that a continuum based theory can account for the observed rotational relaxation dynamics, but only with realistic modeling of the solute charge distribution (not a point dipole), and by accounting for both frequency and wave vector dependences of the solvent dielectric properties.
