Abstract
Quinoline (l-azanaphthalene) in ethanolie glasses at low temperatures exhibits a naphthalene-like UV emission as a result of hydrogen-bond formation. In hydrocarbon glasses with small amounts of alcohols present, a broad bend emission has been observed and has been attributed to proton transfer occurring in the excited state. Using time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, the kinetics of the protonation reaction has been studied with a variety of alcohols. The time resolved spectra and the rate constants determined from lifetime measurements will be presented, along with measurements pertaining to the potential involved in the reaction.
