Spectrophotofluorometric Studies of 5-Hydroxyindoles and Related Compounds

The Luminescence of the Aromatic Amino Acids

“…If only one temperature-dependent deactivation process is present, then Q-I_I = kjl ko + kjl fexp -:r Upon differentiating Eq. [4], we have…”

“…The earliest studies dealt primarily with the determination of the excitation and emission maxima (1)(2)(3)(4) in connection with the development of fluorescence assays. Early measurements of the quantum yields of fluorescence include those of Shore and Pardee, (5) as well as the subsequent work of Teale and Weber.…”

Effects of the Environment on the Fluorescence of Aromatic Compounds in Solution.

“…However, Wheelock (172) found that certain coumarin derivatives show the same fluorescence intensities over wide ranges in concentrations. The exact relationship between concentration and relative fluorescence intensity will differ widely from one compound to the next (36,142,154,163,172).…”

Fluorometric Analysis

“…(5-hydroxymdoles) and related compounds has been published by Sprince, Rowley, and Jameson (170). Data on the fluorescent spectra and activation maxima are given for 16 compounds.…”
