Abstract: | The binding of rhodamine B (RB) to the polyanion containing aromatic groups poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) is studied by separation and spectroscopic techniques at pH between 2 and 7. Significant binding is found at pH below 5, together with a red-shift of the RB maximum of absorbance to 564 nm, and RB fluorescence quenching. The dependence of the pH is related with protonation of RB molecules. Fluorescence quenching is a consequence of a more hydrophobic environment and may occur on territorially or site-specifically bound molecules, and/or on self-aggregated molecules in a hydrophobic polymer domain. Remarkably, the basicity of RB is increased by the influence of the polymer. |
