Abstract

Picosecond proton ejection rates from 8-hydroxy-1,3,6-pyrene trisulfonate and 2-naphthol-6-sulfonate in water-alcohol solutions have been found to decrease rapidly with increasing alcohol concentrations. It was found that the rate of proton transfer decreases more rapidly in water propanol solutions than in water ethanol solutions. This phenomenon can be interpreted in terms of water breaking structure by the organic solvent.
