Abstract

The fluorescence quenching of 2, 5-di-(5-tert-butyl-2-benzoxazolyl)-thiophene (BBOT) by aniline in five different solvents namely heptane, hexane, cyclohexane, dioxane and acetonitrile has been carried out at room temperature with a view to understand the quenching mechanisms. The experimental results show positive deviation in the Stern-Volmer plots in all the solvents. In order to interpret these results we have invoked the Ground state complex and sphere of action static quenching models. Using these models various rate parameters have been determined. The magnitudes of these parameters suggest that sphere of action static quenching model agrees well with the experimental results. Hence this positive deviation is attributed to the static and dynamic quenching. Further, with the use of Finite Sink approximation model, it was possible to check these bimolecular reactions as diffusion-limited and to estimate independently distance parameter R$^1$ and mutual diffusion coefficient D. Finally an attempt has been made to correlate the values of R$^1$ and D with the values of the encounter distance R and the mutual diffusion coefficient D determined using the Edward's empirical relation and Stokes-Einstein relation.
