OXYGEN QUENCHING OF THE FLUORESCENCE OF AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS.

Abstract

The rate constant for oxygen quenching of the fluorescence of aromatic hydrocarbons has previously been shown to be invariant upon deuteration of the hydrocarbon. This observation is used to support the argument that the quenching is primarily due to an enhanced intersystem crossing rather than an enhanced internal conversion. (Author)
