Abstract
Detailed analysis of phenomena associated with the radiationless deactivation of highly excited states of aromatic compounds has been limited until recently by the lack of a suitable method for making direct spectroscopic measurements. The decay times have been found by a number of workers to be <10-12s, thereby preventing direct time-resolution. However, it was known that much useful information could be obtained through a study of fluorescent emission from these states if it indeed could be observed. During the past couple of years, we have developed a new experimental approach along these lines [1–4].
