spectrophotometer (AMINCO-Bowman, Series 2) at 293.15 ± 0.1 K. The excitation and<br />

emission slit widths were set to 4 nm, where for pyrene and perylene the excitation<br />

wavelength was 335 nm and 408 nm, respectively.<br />

By the pyrene way, the ratio <strong>of</strong> the fluorescence <strong>in</strong>tensity at 373 nm (I1) and at 383 nm (I3)<br />

was plotted aga<strong>in</strong>st the logarithm <strong>of</strong> the concentration. These data was fitted by sigmoid curve<br />

with the nonl<strong>in</strong>ear curve fitt<strong>in</strong>g with Orig<strong>in</strong> 75. From non-l<strong>in</strong>ear fitt<strong>in</strong>g we obta<strong>in</strong> two possible<br />

cac po<strong>in</strong>ts - directly cac1-po<strong>in</strong>t as the <strong>in</strong>flex po<strong>in</strong>t. Second one, cac2-po<strong>in</strong>t, is def<strong>in</strong>ed as<br />

cac2 = x0 + 2Δx<br />

Perylene’s data evaluation was based on fit <strong>of</strong> two l<strong>in</strong>ear trends. From equations related to<br />

these l<strong>in</strong>ear curves was evaluated “x-coord<strong>in</strong>ate”, cacPe, <strong>of</strong> the po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>tersection.<br />

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION<br />

It is useful to use only one probe for the CAC determ<strong>in</strong>ation. Pyrene’s data conta<strong>in</strong> not<br />

only <strong>in</strong>formation about aggregation but even polarity <strong>in</strong>formation. Because pyrene is partially<br />

water soluble, it is necessary to know exactly which cac-po<strong>in</strong>t is the right.<br />

Figure 4 The plot <strong>of</strong> the normalized <strong>in</strong>tegral fluorescence and the I1/I3 vs. the Log C. The<br />

perylenes data are separate and fit with the l<strong>in</strong>ear curves. The pyrenes data are fit by sigmoid<br />

curve with marked cac1 (×). The po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>tersection (↑) from perylenes dependence(x-coord<strong>in</strong>ate<br />

- 0.747) is identical with the pyrenes cac1 po<strong>in</strong>t (x-coord<strong>in</strong>ate - 0.750).<br />
