Abstract
The effect of solvents on the absorption and fluorescence spectra of 2 -hydroxybiphenyl and 2-methoxybiphenyl has been investigated. In the g round state hydrogen acceptor interaction of 2-hydroxybiphenyl is more predominant whereas in the excited state its hydrogen donor interacti on is more effective. Analysis of photoluminescence of 2-hydroxybiphen yl reveals its dual emission. The dual luminescence in polar solvents is explained by the formation of solute-solvent exciplex with the tran s isomer of the compound.
