1-Naphthol

1-naphthol (Furro ER) is an excited state proton transfer (ESPT) fluorescent molecular probe. 1-naphthol can sense the hydrophobic domains in micellar aggregation and accurately sense the sol-gel transition. 1-naphthol can be used to study the thermally induced microenvironmental changes and hydration levels of Pluronic F127 (PF127) in different microenvironments in aqueous media[1].
