Purpose • To measure the fluorescence of quinine. • To measure the quenching of this emission by chloride, bromide and iodide ions and to compare the quenching efficiency of the three halides. • To determine the rate constants associated with fluorescence and quenching.
STERN-VOLMER ANALYSIS • D + hν (350 nm) D* absorption • D* D + hν’ (450 nm) kf fluorescence • D* + Q D + Q kq quenching • (I0/I) = 1 + KSV [Q] KSV = kq τ0 where I0 is found from Sample B and I values correspond to Samples C-H at various [Q] values.
