Abstract: The fluorescence quenching of 2-phenoxyaniline (2PAN) by chloromethanes were studied in hexane, dioxane, acetonitrile and methanol. The quenching rate constants (kq) are large with CCl4 and CHCl3 and close to diffusion rate constant (kdiff) and viscosity dependent, where with CH2Cl2 they are less. No clear cut variation of solvent polarity or viscosity is observed for CH2Cl2. Intermediate donor-acceptor complex formation is suggested for CH2Cl2 quenching. kq varies with electron affinity of quenchers suggesting the formation of non-emissive exciplex in quenching.
