Phosphorescence spectra of naphthalene, a-methylnaphthalene, a-chlornaphthalene and diphenyl can be excited by light absorbed by benzaldehyde, benzophenone, acetophenone, ethyl phenyl ketone, o-hydroxybenzaldehyde, benzoin, diphenylamine and carbazole, both components being dissolved in ethanol + ether at -195" C. Measurements of the intensities and decay times of the emission spectra as a function of the concentrations definitely prove that an energy transfer between triplet states is taking place.
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.
