Abstract

A procedure is outlined by which one can get information about the effects of electronic excitation on the interactions between molecules. The absorption and emission spectra of impurities in molecular crystals, and specifically the mean positions and widths of the lines, are required as functions of temperature. A theory of M. Lax is used to relate mean position and width to intermolecular forces. The preliminary treatment of this problem by McCarty and Robinson is evaluated and extended: their procedure is expected to be valid for very narrow lines only.
