Abstract

Disodium 1,5- and 1,8-anthracenedisulphonate (ADS) and 9-acetylanthracene form coloured CT complexes with methylviologen (MV2+) in aqueous and micellar media. The complex formation constants and molar absorptivities were determined by the Benesi-Hildebrandt method. In the fluorescence quenching, its static component plays the major role. The dynamic quenching component is determined by the rate constant of electron transfer from the S1 state of ADS to MV2+.
