Abstract:The interactions of Acridine Orange with Sodium Alginate and Pinacyanol Chloride with Heparin have been investigated by spectrophotometric method. The polymers induce metachromasy in the dye as evidenced from the considerable blue shift in the absorption maxima of the corresponding dyes. The interaction constant and thermodynamic parameters of polymer–dye interactions have been determined. The effect of additives such as alcohols, and urea on the reversal of metachromasy has been studied. The data has been used to determine the stability of the metachromatic complex and the nature of binding. The thermodynamic parameters of interaction revealed that binding between Acridine Orange and Sodium Alginate involved only electrostatic forces while that between Pinacyanol Chloride involved both electrostatic and hydrophobic forces. The reversal studies using surfactants indicated the involvement of both electrostatic and hydrophobic forces in binding. Based on the results it can be concluded that Pinacyanol Chloride is more effective inducing metachromasy than Acridine Orange.
