Lfv. Ferreira et al., SENSITIZED ABSORPTION AND EMISSION OF MONOMER AND DIMER FORMS OF ACRIDINE-ORANGE ADSORBED ONTO MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE, Journal of luminescence, 60-1, 1994, pp. 485-488
Electronic energy transfer from acetonaphthone (donor) to acridine ora
nge (acceptor) entrapped in microcrystalline cellulose was studied by
fluorescence and diffuse reflectance laser flash photolysis. Prompt an
d delayed fluorescence emission of both monomer and dimer forms of acr
idine orange were detected. Similar efficiencies of transfer from eith
er singlet or triplet donor were found suggesting a static quenching p
rocess.
