Der Konzentrationsumschlag der Fluoreszenz aromatischer Kohlenwasserstoffe in mizell-kolloidaler Lösung

Abstract

Concentration effects in fluorescence spectra, resulting from transient dimer formation in excited singlet states, have been studied in the presence of a detergent in aqueous solution. 2-methyl-naphthalene and pyrene have been used as fluorescers, and cetyl-dimethyl-benzylammonium-chloride as the detergent. The intensity ratio of dimer to monomer fluorescence components has been measured for dilution of the fluorescer alone and also of fluorescer and detergent. The results show that with 2-methyl-naphthalene transient dimer formation depends on the fluorescer concentration within the micelles. With pyrene, where dimer formation occurs at very low concentrations, it seems to depend on the number of single fluorescer molecules per micelle.
