The lowest triplet states of diphenylpolyenes and of deuterated stilbenes were observed by means of photoflash asportion spectroscopy. The diphenylpolyenes do not show phosphorescence. The triplet lifetime is strongly dependent on triplet energy. This is consistent with the known influence of Franck-Condon factors. The triplet lifetime of partially deuterated stilbenes depends on the number and the position of the deuterium atoms. The effect of olefinic monodeuteration on the non-radiative process is approximately 16 times larger than that of deuteration at an aromatic position. The observations can be explained in terms of isotope effects on vibronic spin-orbit coupling.
Fluoreszenzquantenausbeuten und Fluoreszenzspektren von Naphthalin, von 18 monosubstituierten Naphthalinen (I) und von Benzanthren wurden in Cyclohexan und Methanol unter Ausschluß und in Gegenwart von Sauerstoff bei 25°C bestimmt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
