چکیده
Excited-state proton transfer in inclusion complexes of 1-aminopyrene and a-naphthol with cyclodextrins was studied by time-resolved spectroscopy. We find that the kinetic studies are much more sensitive to the complexation than are steady-state spectroscopic measurements. Our data suggest two distinct binding orientations for 1 -aminopyrene bound to 8-cyclodextrin. The rate of proton transfer is increased by a factor of 2-3 compared to pure water with the inclusion complex resembling a water-ethanol mixture near the 75% by volume alcohol composition. Deuteration enhances the dissociation rate by a factor of 3.5 in both 80% (by volume) ethanol water mixtures and ion the complex with 8-cyclodextrin. In the case of a-naphthol the rate of proton transfer slows considerably in the inclusion complex and has the rate expected for an 80% by volume ethanoi-water mixture. We suggest that the water near the cavity rim of 8-cyclodextrin is modified by the extensive network of OH groups in such a way as to increase its basicity. Similar effects may occur in enzymic systems.

Doubly charged protonated a ions derived from small peptides.
Protonated a(2) and a(3) (therefore doubly charged) ions in which both charges lie on the peptide backbone are formed in collision-induced dissociations of [La(III)(peptide)(CH(3)CN)(m)](3+) complexes. Abundant (a(3)+H)(2+) ions are formed from triproline (PPP) and peptides with a proline residue at the N-terminus; these peptides are the most effective in producing ions of the type (a(2)+H)(2+)...
متن کاملProton transfer and proton concentrations in protonated Nafion fuel cell membranes.
Proton transfer in protonated Nafion fuel cell membranes is studied using several pyrene derivative photoacids. Proton transfer in the center of the Nafion nanoscopic water channels is probed with the highly charged photoacid 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate (HPTS). At high hydration levels, both the time-integrated fluorescence spectrum and the fluorescence kinetics of HPTS permit the determ...
متن کاملA 'clusters-in-liquid' method for calculating infrared spectra identifies the proton-transfer mode in acidic aqueous solutions.
In liquid water the transfer of an excess proton between two water molecules occurs through the Zundel cation, H(2)O···H(+)···OH(2). The proton-transfer mode is the asymmetric stretch of the central O···H(+)···O moiety, but there is no consensus on its identification in the infrared spectra of acidic aqueous solutions. Also, in experiments with protonated gas-phase water clusters, its position ...

We report on femto- to nanosecond studies of the excited state intermolecular proton transfer (ESPT) reaction of trisodium 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate (pyranine, HPTS) with the human serum albumin (HSA) protein. The formed robust 1:1 complexes (K(eq) = (2.6 ± 0.1) × 10(6) M(-1)) show both photoacid (∼430 nm) and conjugated photobase (∼500 nm) emissions of the caged HPTS in its protonated...

The excited state properties of protonated ortho (2-), meta (3-), and para (4-) aminopyridine molecules have been investigated through UV photofragmentation spectroscopy and excited state coupled-cluster CC2 calculations. Cryogenic ion spectroscopy allows recording well-resolved vibronic spectroscopy that can be reproduced through Franck-Condon simulations of the ππ* local minimum of the excite...
