Abstract

The fluorescence from the second excited singlet state of pyrene and 3,4-benzpyrene in the vapour phase has been observed. The effect of inert gas, temperature and excitation frequency has been investigated. The estimated rate constants for the internal conversion and the reverse process for pyrene are 2 × 10 12 s −1 and 10 7 s −1 respectively.
