S. Draxler et Me. Lippitsch, EXCITED-STATE ACID-BASE KINETICS AND EQUILIBRIA IN NORHARMAN, Journal of physical chemistry, 97(44), 1993, pp. 11493-11496
Absorption and CW and time-resolved fluorescence nleasurements were pe
rformed to investigate the excited-state acid-base kinetics and equili
bria of norharman in aqueous solutions of different pH. Four different
excited-state species, namely cation, neutral molecule, anion,and zwi
tterion, can be distinguished. Rate-equations were applied to explain
the observed decay curves and to calculate the pH-dependent kinetic pa
rameters for the transitions between the species.
