The detailed kinetics of the excited-state, proton-transfer (ESPT) reaction of 1-naphthol in H/sub 2/O and D/sub 2/O are investigated. This process is studied by using both picosecond, time-resolved emission spectroscopy and steady-state spectrofluorometry. A detailed model of the ESPT kinetics is developed by using the results of these experiments. Computer simulations are used to evaluate the predictions of this kinetic model by comparison with the actual temporal and spectral data taken over a wide range of experimental conditions. On the basis of such analyses, the rates for excited-state proton transfer and reprotonation in 1-naphthol are 2.5 x 10/sup 10/ s/sup -1/ and 6.8 x 10/sup 10/ M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/ in H/sub 2/O (pK/sub a/* = 0.4) and 7.9 x 10/sup 9/ s/sup -1/ and 4.8 x 10/sup 10/ M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/ in D/sub 2/O (pK/sub a/* = 0.8), respectively. The other rate constants necessary for a complete and accurate description of the ESPT reaction of 1-naphthol are also determined. Questions regarding the nature of the solute/solvent system are discussed with respect to the effect of the solvent on the excited-state processes. The use of the proton-transfer process as a probe of solvent interactions is also considered.
