Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how a series of N-methyl and N-H substituted indoles quench the fluorescence of pyrene in isooctane at room temperature.
- The quenching mechanism is primarily through charge-transfer (CT), with N-H indoles causing unusual upward deviations in fluorescence plots due to self-quenching by free indoles.
- Adding small amounts of pyridine or propanol significantly enhances the quenching efficiency, indicating that proton transfer plays a role in the self-quenching process.
