El. Roberts et al., EFFECTS OF ORGANIZED MEDIA ON THE EXCITED-STATE INTRAMOLECULAR PROTON-TRANSFER OF 10-HYDROXYBENZO[H]QUINOLINE, Journal of physical chemistry, 99(15), 1995, pp. 5431-5437
Absorbance and fluorescence characteristics of 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quino
line (HBQ) are studied in the presence of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-cyc
lodextrins, and the surfactants, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C
TAB), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and polyoxyethylene(23) lauryl eth
er (Brij 35). Fluorescence measurements are used to investigate the ef
fect of organized media on the excited-state intramolecular proton tra
nsfer (ESIPT) reaction of HBQ by monitoring the large Stokes-shifted t
automer emission. Absorbance measurements are used to further characte
rize the interactions of HBQ with the various media.
