8-(Phenylamino)-1-naphthalene-silver sulfonate 2 was prepared from the
corresponding ammonium salt 1 and silver nitrate under ambient condit
ions in ethanol. From 2 salts with several other monovalent cations we
re obtained. All of them show similar fluorescence properties. Attempt
s to esterify the sulfonate group by means of alkylhalides were unsucc
essful. Only after prolonged reaction times several decomposion produc
ts were detected in the TLC.
