Abstract

THE radiolysis of dilute solutions of aromatic hydrocarbons results in the production of high yields of electronically excited solute molecules1–3. The results of charge-scavenging experiments2,3 indicate that the most probable process for the production of electronically excited solute molecules in cyclohexane solutions is charge transfer to the solute followed by charge neutralization. One would expect the application of an electric field to influence the yield of products obtained from these charge neutralization processes. We have investigated the influence of electric field on the yield of electronically excited singlet state solute molecules by investigating the radiation induced fluorescence from cyclohexane solutions of anthracene (A) and pyrene (P) in the presence of an electric field.
