Abstract
In this work, we studied the fluorescence quenching of the anionic conjugated polyelectrolyte PPE–SO~3~ by the paramagnetic species 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐N‐oxide free radical (TEMPO) in aqueous solution. At low quencher concentration the Stern–Volmer constant is 94 mol/L; as the quencher concentration increases the Stern–Volmer plots become superlinear. Ascorbic acid is used to reduce TEMPO to the corresponding hydroxylamine and the PPE–SO~3~ fluorescence is fully recovered. Under a large excess of ascorbic acid over TEMPO, the rise of fluorescence followed pseudo‐first‐order kinetics. The second‐order rate constant calculated from this time course is 0.7 mol/L/s.
