Abstract
The role of nanodiamonds in the reaction of photochemical transformation of tryptophan in the presence of halogen hydrocarbons has been studied. The photochemical transformation of free tryptophan in a suspension with diamond nanoparticles and in a hybrid complex with them when exposed to UV radiation in the presence of chloroform is investigated. Data from stationary and time-resolved spectroscopic studies show the presence of non-radiative transfer of electron excitation energy between tryptophan molecules and its photodestruction products for the case of a covalent complex with a nanodiamond. It is shown that in the presence of energy transfer, an increase in the intensity of integral fluorescence occurs in the range of ~ 450 nm. Thus, a covalent tryptophan complex with a nanodiamond can serve as a fluorescent marker for the presence of chloroform in solution.
