Abstract:

Ketocoumarin dye 3-acetyl-7-diethylaminecoumrin was synthesized and charaterized. The spectra and photophysics behavior were studied in different aprotic solvents. Results showed that the fluorescence quantum yield had a maximum and the ratio of non-radiative transition rate to radiative transition rate had a minimum with the increasing of the solvent polarity. Also, the fluorescence of the dye can be quenched by triethylamine and the change is in accordance with the Stern-Volmer formula. These phenomenon was discussed preliminarily.
