Non-radiative deactivation channels of molecular rotors
On the basis of the fluorescence properties of a series of intramolecular charge-transfer complexes of varied structure (
p-(
N,
N-dialkylamino) benzylidene malononitriles and coumarin laser dyes) in an inert solvent (ethyl acetate), a model of non-radiative decay is proposed. The model specifically describes the relative contributions of the possible internal relaxation channels to non-radiative energy dissipation of the S
1, ct states via the free rotor mechanism. The results are consistent with the theoretical predictions based on the calculated electron density distributions and the bond-order alternation in the S
1, ct state
Distribution of methylperylene isomers in selected sediments
Surface and deep sediment extracts, containing perylene compounds, have been examined by High Resolution Shpol'skii Spectroscopy. The first identification of the three methylperylene isomers is reported and indicates the predominance of 2-methylperylene among the methylperylene isomer distributions at any maturation stage. Perylene itself was nevertheless always found to be the most abundant perylene compound. \textcopyright 1988
