Pressure effect on the excited-state proton transfer from curcumin to monols
2012
Abstract Time-resolved emission techniques were employed to study the pressure effect on curcumin's luminescence in several aliphatic alcohols. We found that the hydrostatic pressure of up to 2 GPa affects the decay rate of curcumin emission in the same way it affects the protonated form of many photoacids. We therefore propose that curcumin, which has two phenol groups, is a strong photoacid. Strong photoacids with p K a *
