Abstract

Time correlated single photon counting technique was employed to study the intramolecular and intermolecular proton transfer processes occuring in the first excited electronic state of 2-naphthol-3,6-disulfonate. It was found that the first step after excitation, by a short light pulse, is an intramolecular proton transfer from the hydroxy group to the adjacent sulfonate group. Subsequently, the proton is transferred to the solvent at a slower rate. The intramolecular proton transfer is mediated by water molecules.
