Role of Substituent Position in Coumarin Derivatives during their Interaction with TiO Nano Particles.

The effect of position of benzo group in coumarin derivatives, 5,6 benzo-4-azidomethyl coumarin (5BAMC) and 7,8 benzo-4-azidomethyl coumarin (7BAMC) during their interaction with TiO nanoparticles in ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, butan-1-ol and acetonitrile solvents has been studied using different spectroscopic methods and electrochemical analysis. Benesi-Hildebrand plots indicate that nature of interaction between 7BAMC and TiO is 1:2 in solvent with low dielectric constant whereas for 5BAMC and TiO, it is 1:1 in all the solvents. From the fluorescence quenching study and binding equilibria analysis, it is observed that interaction between 5BAMC and TiO depends on the dielectric constant of the solvent.
