Abstract:Abstract— An excimer of 1‐cyanonaphthalene is produced in homogeneous organic solvents and in micelle containing detergent solutions. From solvent effects in homogeneous solution it is concluded that the excimer is relatively polar (dipole moment ∼ 4D). From a comparison with emission from that observed in homogeneous solvents, it is concluded that 1‐cyanonaphthalene is solubilized mainly in the Stern Layer of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HDTBr) micelles. The influence … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
