Abstract
Abstract The metastable triplet state T1 of fluorene molecules in a fluorene crystal, disturbed by the presence of dibenzothiophene (“X-traps”) was investigated at 1.6 and 4.2 °K. From ESR measurements a model for the fluoren X-traps is derived. The X-trap molecule is misoriented by an angle of 2,5° in the fluorene crystal. The rate constants for population (s), radiative decay (kD) and total decay (k) of the three magnetic sublevels of T1 were determined by analysis of phosphorescence intensity and decay time in high magnetic field and by optically detected ESR. We find (with z = axis perpendicular to the molecule, x = long axis): The average spin lattice relaxation rate constant is w = (0.8 ± 0.2) sec- 1 .
