The luminescence of bisbenzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids. The berbamine and oxyacanthine alkaloids
Abstract
A detailed study of the fluorescence and phosphorescence characteristics of some bisbenzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids has been undertaken. The emission parameters have been found to depend upon the absolute configuration of the alkaloids. In only one case, hernandezine, has exciplex emission been observed.
