Abstract
The initial proton transfer dynamics of 4-hydroxy-1-naphthalenesulphonate has been studied in alcohol-water (7:3) mixtures at room temperature by using picosecond time-resolved emission spectroscopy. Consecutive processes of dissociation, recombination, re-dissociation have been observed in methanol-water and ethanol-water mixtures. However, no recombination has been found in the 1-propanol-water mixture. The need for a particular solvent structure for the proton hydration is discussed.
