Abstract
Calibration curves for determining the constant of fluorescein equilibrium in the excited state were obtained by decomposing the emission spectrum into separate dianion and anion contours. It is shown that the photoinduced proton transfer at the step of dianion‒anion dissociation competes with radiative processes, and its efficiency increases with the concentration of phosphate ions acting as proton acceptors. The change in apparent dissociation constant ΔpKapp2 during photoexcitation into the absorption band of the fluorescein dianion (488 nm) was found to be close to limit value ΔpKa = −0.71 determined according to the Förster cycle.
