Abstract
The photophysical properties of 1,4-dihydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-9,10-anthroquinone (DHDMAQ) in the absence and presence of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have been studied using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence intensity of the DHDMAQ decreases as the concentration of TiO2 nanoparticles increases. The quenching is characterized by a Stern–Volmer plot, which displays a positive deviation from linearity. This could be explained by static quenching models. The Stern–Volmer quenching constant, association constant, and binding constant have been calculated. The distance between DHDMAQ and TiO2 nanoparticles has also been evaluated using Forster’s theory of non-radiative energy transfer.
