Die Abhängigkeit der Fluoreszenzquantenausbeute von der Anregungswellenlänge bei Carbonylverbindungen des Pyrens

Abstract

Abstract Pyrene-3-aldehyde, 3-acetylpyrene and 3-benzoylpyrene show almost no fluorescence in dilute solution in non-polar solvents. In more concentrated solutions, however, a long wave fluorescence is observed, showing the existence of weak intermolecular forces, even in the ground state. In polar solvents, pyrene-3-aldehyde and 3-acetylpyrene exhibit short wave monomer fluorescence whilst 3-benzoylpyrene does not fluoresce. The intensity for both long and short wave fluorescence is dependent upon the excitation wave length and is a maximum for excitation in the weak long wave tail of the first absorption band. Molecules are thought to have a greater absorption in this region if they interact strongly with their polar or polarizable surroundings. Due to the very short singlet lifetime of isolated monomers (τ<C10-10 sec), such molecules have a greater probability of forming a fluorescence state than more weakly interacting ones.
