Phosphorescence in ethanol and n-pentane at 77 K of the benzologues 1-8 of furan, thiophene, selenophene and tellurophene has been investigated. The rate constants of both the radiative (kPT) and non-radiative (kGT) deactivation of the lowest triplet state correlate linearly with where ck denotes the Hückel AO coefficients in the HOMO of the carbon atoms bound to the hetero-atom and ζ is the spin-orbit coupling constant of the hetero-atom present. - The linear correlation observed between kPT and kGT is an example for the Orlandi-Siebrand rule. - The influence of an external heavy-atom perturber (methyl iodide) on phosphorescence lifetimes and the vibrational structure of phosphorescence spectra is the more efficient the less efficient is the internal perturbation caused by the intra-annular heavy-atom.

Fluorescence and phosphorescence properties of dibenzo [2,3:10,11] perylo [1,12-bcd] furan (1), dibenzo [2,3:10,11] perylo [1,12-bcd] thiophene (2), and dibenzo [2,3:10,11 ] perylo [1,12-bcd] selenophene (3) have been studied. Fluorescence quantum yields as well as phosphorescence lifetimes correlate linearly with where ck are the Hückel AO coefficients in the HOMO of the parent carbocyclic system dibenzo [b, n] perylene (4) on carbon centres k to which the hetero-atom is bound, and ζ is the spin-orbit coupling constant of the heavy-atom present. The half-value concentration of fluorescence quenching (quencher: methyl iodide) of 1 - 3 increases with increasing strength of the internal heavy-atom effect present

Abstract The influence of ethylhalogenes on the polarization of the phosphorescence of naphthalene was studied by means of the photoselection technique. It is shown that with increasing concentration and with increasing nuclear charge of the heavy atom the phosphorescence of naphthalene becomes increasingly depolarized. The influence of the external heavy atom on the Tx- and Tz- substate is stronger than on the Ty-substate. From the concentration dependence of the depolarizatign conclusions concerning the mechanism of the external spin-orbit-coupling are drawn. The dirept spin-orbit-coupling mechanism is ruled out. In the model discussed the variation of the external heavy atom effect with the intermolecular distance is related to overlap integrals.

Photoirradiation of anthracene in benzene in the presence of oxygen gave predominantly a photodimer of anthracene, and very little oxidation product. Similar irradiation of anthracene in bromobenzene, however, produced 9,10-anthraquinone in high yield. The yield of anthraquinone increased in the presence of a heavy-atom solvent such as bromobenzene, p-dibromobenzene, 1,3,5-tribromobenzene, 1-bromopropane, and dibromomethane in proportion to the sum of squares of the spin–orbit coupling parameter ζ of the solvent molecule. This relationship indicates an external heavy-atom effect on the photooxidation of anthracene. The mechanistic investigations suggest the involvement of singlet oxygen, anthracene peroxide, and a radical intermediate in the formation of anthraquinone.

Fluorophores functionalized with heavy elements show enhanced intersystem crossing due to increased spin–orbit coupling, which in turn shortens the fluorescence decay lifetime (τPL). This phenomenon is known as the heavy-atom...

Phosphorescence spectra, lifetimes and quantum yield ratios of phosphorescence and fluorescence for carbazole, dibenzo- thiophene, three dibenzo-carbazoles and the corresponding dinaphthothiophenes have been measured in ethanol and in a heavy atom matrix at 77 K. Most of the results can be explained on the basis of spin-orbit coupling and term scheme concepts but an additional phosphorescencechemical structure relation is effective in these compounds

AbstractPhotoluminescence (ethanol, 77 K) of 2-naphthylamine (I), its N,N-dimethyl derivative (II), 1-methyl-naphthalene (III) and 1-naphthyl-9-carbazyl-methane (IV) in the presence of AgNO3 has been studied. The results obtained can be explained assuming different types of Ag+-compIexing with the π-donor: (i) Covalent linkage between Ag and N in the case of I, (ii) Charge-transfer complexation with the aromatic units of II and III , respectively, and (iii) Charge-transfer complexation with the carbazole in IV as the stronger π-donor compared to 1-methyl-naphthalene. Most of the photophysical properties of the systems AgNO3/π-donor can be understood as resulting from heavy atom spin-orbit coupling effects. However, a strong effect of AgNO3 on the structure of the phosphorescence spectra of II and III is shown not to result from heavy atom spin-orbit coupling interaction.
