ENERGY DISSIPATION FROM EXCITED STATES OF POLYATOMIC MOLECULES,

Abstract

The knowledge of the excited states from which the emission of radiation proceeds, is of fundamental impor tance for the study of the kinetics of energy dissipation absorbed by molecules. Having postulated mechanisms of energy dissipation for polyatomic molecules (e. g. benzene, biacetyl and acetone) based on the existence of excited states of different multiplicities of spin, the existing, experimental results, in spite of being scarce, seem to confirm the proposed hypotheses. Finally, forecasts are made on the behaviour of the cetene molecule that, when subject to radiations of different wavelengths, originates the radicals CH2 in excited states with different multiplicities of spin.
