Abstract— Various newly synthesized substances containing the same chromophore as PRODAN were subjected to a spectroscopic study. The new substances, ω‐[6‐( N ‐meth‐yl‐ N ‐alkylamino)naphthoyl]alcanoic acids (MANA), possess polar groups and alkyl chains of variable length that make them potentially useful as fluorescent probes in membrane studies. This paper reports on their spectroscopic properties in various pure solvents. Their Stokes shifts are given and related to different physicochemical properties of the solvents. A theoretical study of the behavior of the new substances is also presented.
