Fluorescent yields of[Formula: see text]excited in the 2500 Å region in cyclohexane solution have been examined. There is a general trend of fluorescent yields decreasing with increasing alkene ring size. The sum of the fluorescent and triplet yields decreases with increasing ring size. Triplet energies, obtained by Evans' method and roughly confirmed by phosphorescent emission spectra at 77 °K, do not vary greatly.
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.
