Abstract
The syntheses of sodium 9,10‐dibromo‐ and 9,10‐diphenylanthracene‐2‐sulfonate (DBAS and DPAS, respectively) are described and their photophysical properties determined. These two probes were used in aqueous solution studies of the kinetic parameters of tetramethyldioxetane thermolysis, which were found to be the same as in organic solvents. The yields of triplet and singlet acetone generated by the decomposition of this dioxetane in water are also comparable to the literature values in organic medium. The lifetime of triplet acetone in water was determined to be 13 ± 2 u.s by a method based on the measurement of the fluorescence decay of DBAS excited via energy transfer from triplet acetone, by the time‐correlated single‐photon counting technique. Sorbate ion quenches triplet acetone from tetramethyldioxetane with a rate constant smaller but close to the diffusion‐controlled limit.
Sodium 9,10-dibromo- and 9,10-diphenylanthracene-2-sulfonate (DBAS and DPAS) are effective probes for studying tetramethyldioxetane thermolysis in water, with comparable results to organic solvents.
