Substitution effects on the photophysical characteristics of the salicylic anion

摘要

Spectral and photophysical properties of substituted salicylic anions are investigated by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy for a variety of electron donating substituents at the positions para to the hydroxyl and carboxylic groups. Next to the usual excited-state intramolecular proton transfer in aqueous solution, an excited-state intermolecular proton transfer is found to be responsible for the dual emission observed in the case of 5-aminosalicylic anions.
