Dynamic quenching study of 2-amino-3-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone by titanium dioxide nano particles in solution (methanol).

The dependence of fluorescence emission of 2-amino-3-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone on titanium dioxide (TiO2) in methanol has been investigated. The increase in TiO2 concentration causes a decrease in the fluorescence intensity of 2-amino-3-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone. A linear Stern-Volmer plot in this study indicates the presence of dynamic quenching. The quenching and association constants have been calculated. The quenching process is due to the electron transfer from 2-amino-3-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone to TiO2.
