RESUMO
Fluorescence quenching and preferential solvation of a coumarin derivative, namely 3-[2-oxo-2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-ethylidene]-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (3OCE), with aniline used as a quencher in solvent mixtures of acetonitrile (AN) and 1,4-dioxane (DX) was carried out at steady state. Suppan's theory of dielectric enrichment was used to understand the nonideality and dielectric enrichment in AN-DX solvent mixtures. The effect of viscosity and dielectric constant variation at room temperature were analyzed. Quenching was characterized using Stern-Volmer plots with an upward curvature. It was found that 3OCE underwent combined static and dynamic quenching that was evident from the quenching rate parameters.
