Meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) interacts with trinitrotoluene (TNT) and forms a]:I complex with a new absorbance peak at 422 nm. TNT quenches TPPS emission intensity at 645 and 702 nm when excited at 413 nm. The TPPS-TNT complex is formed in the ground state on the basis of a linear Stern-Volmer plot indicative of static quenching. The association constants determined from absorbance and fluorescence studies are in excellent agreement. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
