Abstract
A new asymptotic behavior of reversible pseudo first-order binary chemical reactions is revealed by time-resolved fluorescence measurements of excited-state proton transfer. The asymptotic behavior is a power-law rather than the exponential decay expected from the chemical rate equations. Unlike the conclusion from mean-field approximations, the power seems to increase with concentration.Keywords
