摘要
In very dilute water solutions, ca 10-7 M, pyrene-3-carboxaldehyde fluoresces with a high quantum yield, øF = 0.98. This emission is quenched at low pH and, if the proton activity is high enough, a new weak, red shifted fluorescence appears. These effects are explained by the existence of a fast proton transfer in the excited state. The emitting singlet is believed to be 6-7 orders of magnitude more basic than the ground electronic state. By measuring the changes in fluorescence intensity and lifetime of pyrene-3-carboxaldehyde as a function of pH, a value for the quenching rate constant k2 = (2.2 ± 0.3) × 1010 M-1 s-1 was obtained. The quenching of the neutral form fluorescence is proposed to be produced by the protonation of the excited aldehyde, followed by a fast radiationless deactivation of the conjugated acid, before prototropic equilibrium can be attained. © 1979.
