Abstract

The photoinduced interaction between triphenylpyrylium ion (TPP+) and certain phenols were studied in acetonitrile medium by using absorption, steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopic methods. The quenchers used were phenol, o-aminophenol, o-cresol, o-hydroxyphenol, o-chlorophenol, salicylic acid and salicylaldehyde. Linear Stern-Volmer plots were obtained from both steady state and time resolved measurements and also the calculated values of bimolecular quenching rate constants (kq) were matched well. The free energy change (ΔGet) has been evaluated by using Rehm-Weller equation for the confirmation of electron transfer from phenols to TPP+ ion.
