The fluorescence spectra, fluorescence quantum yield, and fluorescence lifetime of Acridine Red (AR), Pyronin Y (PYY), and Pyronin B (PYB) in aqueous and organic solvents were measured by steady state fluorescence, time-correlated single photon counting, and electronic absorption methods. The rate constants of radiation and non radiation process (k(f) and k(ic)) were calculated to elucidate the structural effect on the fluorescence mechanism. The data for each compound are compared with that of the corresponding rhodamine dye. AR showed significant longer lifetime and higher quantum yield than PYY and PYB, because the alkyls on N atom enhance the internal conversion (IC), the longer the alkyl the faster the IC. However, the structural variation does not alter the rate constant of radiation process (k(f)) but does change k(ic) significantly. The phenyl in Rhodamine B or Rhodamine 6G shows only a slight effect on the fluorescence properties. Ethanol is the solvent in which all five compounds exhibit longest lifetime and highest fluorescence quantum yield.
