The change of hybridization of β-naphthylamine from sp3 to sp2, subsequent to excitation is found to have little effect upon the entropy of protonation of β-naphthylamine in the lowest excited singlet state. Solvent ...

The complexations of the singly charged cations of 3-aminoacridine and 7-aminoquinoline by double-stranded, calf thymus DNA were studied by electronic absorption spectrophotometry. At high ratios of total DNA phosphate ...

pH and Hammett acidity dependences of the blue fluorescences of the quinolinium ion and some related species indicate that the thermally relaxed lLb and'L, states of the quinolinium ion are degenerate and that fluorescence ...

The shifts in the absorption and fluorescence spectra of 3-aminoacridine, proflavine, acridine orange, and acridine yellow were employed to show that the singly charged cations, the predominant species at biological pH, ...
