Abstract

Unlike the reversible proton recombination found in many excited-state proton transfer reactions, 1-naphthol-3,6-disulfonate exhibits an almost irreversible proton recombination process. As a result of quenching through geminate recombination, the fluorescence of the unprotonated form is nonexponential. The Debye-Smoluchowski equation is used to explain the effect of geminate recombination.
