Three pulse stimulated photon echo peak shift (3PEPS) measurements were used to probe the solvation of a quadrupolar solute in three room temperature nondipolar solvents; benzene, CCl4, and CS2, and the results were compared with those for two polar solvents, methanol and acetonitrile, and one weakly polar solvent, toluene. Our data reveal three distinct solvent dynamical time scales; a sub-100 fs ultrafast component attributed to inertial motions, a slow (similar to 2-3 ps) component attributed to structural relaxation, and an intermediate time scale (similar to 600 fs) of uncertain origin. The six solvents were chosen to reflect a range of possible interactions, but exhibit similar dynamics, suggesting that similar mechanisms may be at work or that different mechanisms may exist, but occur on similar time scales. A viscoelastic continuum solvation model proposed to describe nonpolar solvation [J. Phys. Chem. A 102, 17 (1998)] was used for a preliminary analysis of our data.
