Abstract
Four novel pentamethine cyanines have been investigated for their photophysical behaviors and photochemical stability in Nafion-Na+ membranes. The incorporation processes of these dyes into Nafion membranes are diffusion-controlled and the apparent diffusion constants have been determined. Fluorescence quantum yields and fluorescence lifetimes of all tested dyes in Nafion membranes have been determined and significant fluorescence enhancements were observed with respect to their fluorescence in aqueous solution. Photolysis of these dyes suggested these dye molecules are stabilized significantly by Nafion membranes. Furthermore, the fluorescence enhancements and the photostabilization of these dyes are more significant in dry Nafion membranes than those in wet ones.
