General Overview of Proton-Transfer
1950s
Kinetics of Proton-transfer reactions became the
subject of many studies
Eigen
Was the first to measure the fast recombination of
H+ and OH- using relaxation method
Forster and Weller
Were the first to explain the difference between
the ground and the excited states of the
dissociation constants


Short Pulse
It becomes possible to directly measure protontransfer of excited molecules
 4-H-1-NS and 1-AN
Have been studied by means of laser-induced
picosecond spectroscopy

solutions. However, there is no complete analysis of the
overall reaction scheme.

To set up the complete behavior scheme of 1,8-DAN in
the ground and excited state with varying acidity.


Fluorescence Decay Measurements

The decay of the neutral and the mono-cation
form have very similar decays,
Both are single-exponential and nicely fit the
equation:
I(t) = I0 e-t/t

Whereas the decay for the di-cation form shows
bi-exponential decay and nicely fit the equation:
I(t) = A1 e-t/t1 + A2 e-t/t2

36
Calcination Process
 Three forms of zeolite Y were used:
NaY, HY 34% and HY96%
 NaY can be changed to HY of different concentrations
by ion exchange with NH4NO3

Why 1,8-DAN inside Zeolite Sieves ?

To do acidity characterization of solid acids
e.g. Zeolite Y
Acidity characterization can be done by:
1. Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) Qualitative
2. Calorimetric methods
Qualitative
3. Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR)
Qualitative
4. Laser-induced spectroscopy (LI)
Introduced by El-Rayyes et al.

Emission Spectra of DAN /Zeolite Y

DAN/NaY shows the neutral band of 1,8-DAN.

However, under higher energy excitation it shows
the protonated band even there is no proton

Some interesting effects with Na+ ion
i.e. the lone pairs interact with Na+ to give the
higher energy band

Conclusion
 1,8-DAN shows a Diabatic Reaction Process
i.e. the reaction of the excited neutral form with H+
does not lead to the excited mono-protonated
form, rather it goes to the ground state.
 There are three different forms of 1,8-DAN in the
ground state. Whereas, there are only two forms in
the excited state.

Conclusion
 The Mono-cation form has two transitions band,
rather than one transition as believed before, which
is supported by absorption spectra.
 The Di-cation form has a bi-exponential decay
which suggest the existence of a new form X. i.e.
an adduct between the solvent molecules and the
fluorophore molecules as shown for 1-AN.
46
Conclusion
The excited state reactions is very sensitive
to the presence or absence of water
molecules and protons, which makes 1,8DAN possibly a good indicator for zeolite
acidity.
i.e. 1,8-DAN may be used as a probe
molecule to assess zeolite acidity.
