Introduction 3 FLUORESCENCE FLUOROMETRY Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation . In most cases, the emitted light has a longer wavelength , and therefore lower energy, than the absorbed radiation . It is measurement of fluorescence intensity at a particular wavelength with the help of a filter fluorimeter or a spectrofluorimeter .
4 Principle of Fluorometry
Factors affecting fluorescence intensity 5 Intensity of fluorescence is directly proportional to the rigidity of structure. So,rigid structures shows more fluorescence Intensity, flexible structures shows less fluorescence Intensity Rigidity of Structure Rigidity of Structure FI
Continued… 6 Intensity of fluorescence is inversely proportional to the increasing of temperature. So,increasing temp. leads to increase collision of molecule decrease FI. decreasing temp. leads to decrease collision of molecule increase FI. Effect of T emperature Increasing temp.
Oxygen decreases the fluorescence intensity by oxidises fluorescent substance to non-fluorescent substance. Continued… 7 Effect of Oxygen Effect of P H P H depends on chemical structure of molecule. Phenol:- Acidic condition undissociated NO FI Alkaline condition dissociated FI
Continued… 8 Conjugation system
Continued… 9 Nature of Substituent group
Continued… Fluoroscence Intensity is directly proportional to concentration of substance.But, this is true in low conc. ( 50 g/ml).But in high conc. ( 50 g/ml) it does not obey linearity. Effect of Concentration
Continued… Presence of other solutes in solution which are non fluorescent can also affect fluorescent intensity by the so called inner filter effect. Inner Filter Effect Viscosity
Conclusion Fluorometry is a quantitative analysis technique. Several factors affects the intensity of fluorescence among them conc. Plays vital role.According to BEER’S law firstly it shows linear curve that means direct proportional but after certain conc. It shows deviation that times increasing conc. Can’t increase the FI.
