摘要
A spin label (4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine I-oxide,TEMPO) and a fluorescence dye (1-pyrenylbutyl, Py) were attached randomly along the same poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) chain (PNIPAM-Py-T, M(v) 2.3 X 10(6), Py content 1.9 x 10(-5) mol g-1), and their interactions in solutions of the polymer were studied using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (C-13 NMR), and fluorescence spectroscopy. The thermoreversible phase transition of aqueous solutions of the polymer was examined by these three techniques. EPR spectra of solutions of PNIPAM-Py-T (3 g L-1) were recorded as a function of temperature (20-35-degrees-C) and analyzed in terms of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant and the correlation time for the reorientation motion. The temperature dependence of the simulated spectra. The fluorescence of PNIPAM-Py-T in cold water (I g L-1) displayed contributions from isolated excited pyrenes (Py*, monomer emission) and from preassociated pyrenes (''excimer'' emission). This excimer emission decreased at the phase transition temperature while the monomer emission increased. Quantum yield determinations and fluorescence lifetime measurements are interpreted in terms of two competing temperature-induced effects: (1) a disruption of the pyrene preassociation and (2) an increase in the efficiency of the quenching of Py* by the TEMPO nitroxide radicals. Supporting evidence was obtained by fluorescence measurements carried out with solutions of PNIPAM-Py-T in methanol and by intermolecular fluorescence quenching experiments using a singly labeled polymer (PNIPAM-Py, M(v) 2.6 X 10(6), Py content 4.2 X 10(-5) mol g-1) and either TEMPO or a TEMPO-labeled polymer (PNIPAM-T, M(v) 2.9 X 10(6), TEMPO content 1 X 10(-5) mol g-1).
