The relative fluorescence and/or phosphorescence yields of a number of methyl- and halogeno-quinolines, isoquinolines, and acridines have been measured as a function of the wavelength of the exciting light. In all cases the solvent was absolute ethanol. The results show that the efficiency of internal conversion processes between excited singlet states is extremely high in comparison to other intramolecular steps. The effect of substituted heavy atoms is discussed, as well as the fluorescence of the conjugate acids of the bases.

The relative fluorescence yields of a variety of double molecules have been measured as a function of the wavelength of exciting light. In some cases the yield from the second excited state is lower than from the first. This effect is attributed to either photodecomposition or to the enhancement of intramolecular energy transfer processes which can compete with the internal conversion between the excited singlet states. The experiments on bianthrone have suggested a method of elucidating the mechanism of the photochromic isomerization of this compound.

Quantum yields of fluorescence as well as of solvated electron and H atom formation have been measured for phenol in several pure solvents and mixtures of varying polarity. The influence of excitation energy has been studied by excitation of phenol in the first and second excited singlet states. The solvent dependences of fluorescence and photoejection parameters are strongly correlated. The results are interpreted in terms of specific solute–solvent interactions, in particular H-bonded structures.

ABSTRACTWe apply the Pariser-Parr-Pople Hamiltonian to study many-electron excitations in polyenes and polyacetylene. The excited singlet states of polyenes, calculated by a multireference double excitation expansion, are classified as quasi-particle excitations, namely as triplet-triplet magnons and particle-hole excitons. From finite polyene spectra we derive approximate dispersion relations for these quasi-particles in the infinite polyene, i.e. polyacetylene.
