Spectral behavior and pH dependence of N-hexadecyl-5-iminomethyl-8-hydroxyquinoline
1State Key Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry, Coordination Chemistry Institute, Nanjing University, People's Republic of China.
Abstract:
A new kind of amphiphile derived from 8-hydroxyquinoline, N-hexadecyl-5-iminomethyl-8-hydroxyquinoline (HIHQ) was synthesized and characterized by different physical methods. The influence of pH value on UV-vis absorption, fluorescence spectra were investigated and the surface pressure area isotherms were recorded under different pH subphase. The linear response range between the emission intensity and the concentration of HIHQ was 1-4 x 10(-6) mol L(-1). The strongest emission of HIHQ about 460 nm was obtained at pH 8.2 and the acid-base equilibrium of HIHQ in monolayer and solution was also discussed.
