1. Calculation of Quantum Yield
Fluorescence quantum yields (Ф) were estimated by integrating the area under the fluorescence
curves using the equation1,
Where A was the area under the fluorescence spectral curve, OD was optical density of the
compound at the excitation wavelength and η was the refractive indices of the solvent.
Anthracene (quantum yield is 0.27 in ethanol)2
and tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) (Ф = 0.042
in water)3 were used as quantum yield standard for measuring the quantum yields at 365 nm and
450 nm for ANC and AAC respectively both for their protonated and deprotonated forms.

Upon lowering the pH, the fluorescence intensity may increase or decrease.
If fluorescence intensity increases due to the protonated form, the equation (i) can be
written as
2 pH = -pKa - log xmax

Fx = Intensity at an intermediate pH at the same wavelength.
pKa1 of ANC has been calculated by using equation (ii). Here Fx, Fmax and Fmin were measured at
600 nm, the wavelength at the emission maximum of ANC in the acidic range.
If fluorescence intensity decreases due to protonated form, the working formula becomes
