Abstract
The site-selected fluorescence, phosphorescence, and luminescence excitation spectra of biphenyl in a cyclohexane Shpol'skii matrix have been measured. There are three principal sites. The relative population of the sites depends on the freezing protocol. The S 1 ↔ S 0 0&.sbnd;0 band, a forbidden gg transition in D 2h planar biphenyl, is weakly observed for one of the sites. For this site the zero-phonon lines in fluorescence and phosphorescence are accompanied by prominent sidebands but such sidebands are nearly completely absent in the excitation spectrum. The other two sites have negligibly weak 00 bands in fluorescence and minimal sidebands. We attribute the sidebands to translational and/or librational motion of biphenyl in the cyclohexane cage.
