Study of Fluorescence Quenching on Novel Coumarin Derivatives by Aniline in Different Solvents

The steady-state fluorescence quenching of novel coumarin derivatives; 4-(2, 6-dibromo-4-methyl-phenoxymethyl)-benzo[h]chromen-2-one [DMB] and 6-methoxy-4- p -tolyoxymethyl-chromen-2-one [TMC] has been studied in toluene, benzene, dioxane, acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran [THF] using aniline as a qu...

Description
Summary:The steady-state fluorescence quenching of novel coumarin derivatives; 4-(2, 6-dibromo-4-methyl-phenoxymethyl)-benzo[h]chromen-2-one [DMB] and 6-methoxy-4- p -tolyoxymethyl-chromen-2-one [TMC] has been studied in toluene, benzene, dioxane, acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran [THF] using aniline as a quencher at room temperature with a view to understanding the role of diffusion in the quenching mechanism. The probability of quenching per encounter ( p ) is calculated in all the solvents. Further, an activation energy for quenching ( E a ) was estimated using the values of p and the literature values of activation energy for diffusion ( E d ). The magnitudes of these parameters indicate that the fluorescence quenching of these molecules by aniline is not solely due to the material diffusion but there is also a contribution of an activation energy.
