Abstract

The electronic absorption, emission spectra as well as fluorescence quantum yields of some
coumarin derivatives were measured in different solvents of different polarities. pKa and pKa* were calculated
using universal buffers.
The dyes undergo micellization in different micelles and may be used as a probe to determine the critical
micelle concentrations (CMC) of CTAB and SDS. The effect of metal ions like [Cu+2, Co+3, Ni+2] as quenchers
and the effect of temperature on quenching are studied and thermodynamic parameters have been calculated.
