Mt. Htun et al., TIME-RESOLVED SPECTROSCOPY OF 4-HYDROXY-1-NAPHTHALENESULPHONATE IN ALCOHOL-WATER MIXTURES, Chemical physics letters, 243(5-6), 1995, pp. 506-511
The initial proton transfer dynamics of 4-hydroxy-1-naphthalenesulphon
ate has been studied in alcohol-water (7:3) mixtures at room temperatu
re by using picosecond time-resolved emission spectroscopy. Consecutiv
e processes of dissociation, recombination, re-dissociation have been
observed in methanol-water and ethanol-water mixtures. However, no rec
ombination has been found in the 1-propanol-water mixture. The need fo
r a particular solvent structure for the proton hydration is discussed
.
