[Fluorescence spectroscopy characterization of asphaltene liquefied from coal and study of its association structure].

Structure and association of asphaltenes from coal direct hydroliquefaction were studied by fluorescence spectrometry and UV-Vis absorption spectrometry in this paper. The results indicate that asphaltene is aromatic mixtures mainly containing naphthalene nucleus and shows strong fluorescent characteristic. The forming of exciplex between asphaltene and solvent results in the red shift of fluorescence peak and fluorescence quenching of asphaltene that increases with the polarity and electron acceptability.
