Rotational diffusion of a charged solute, rhodamine 110 (R110), and a nondipolar solute, 2,5-dimethyl-1,4-dioxo-3,6-diphenylpyrrolo[3,4-c]-pyrrole (DMDPP), has been investigated in ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([BMIM][Tf2N]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate ([BMIM][FAP]), with 0.8 mole fraction of dibenzyl ether (DBE). This study has been undertaken to find Out how specific interactions between the solute and the ionic liquid are affected upon dilution with a nondipolar solvent. It has been observed that at a given viscosity (eta) and temperature (T), the reorientation times of R110 increase by 40-60% in the ionic liquid-organic solvent mixtures compared to ones in the corresponding neat ionic liquids. In the case of DMDPP, the influence of DBE is less pronounced, and its reorientation times increase by 25-50% at a given eta/T. The addition of DBE weakens the numerous interactions prevailing between the cations and the anions of the ionic liquids, which results in stronger specific interactions between the solutes and the constituent ions, consequently leading to slower rotation of the
