Abstract

Abstract The static and dynamic properties of the phosphorescent triplet states of quinoxaline and 2,3-disubstituted derivatives in hexane have been studied at 1.4 K using the methods of optically detected magnetic resonance. In addition, the absorption and phosphorescence excitation spectra have also been measured to attain the information about the low lying excited states. A systematic comparison has been made for the purpose of examining the effect of substitution. A significant enhancement of the pumping rates for the y spin sublevel observed in the chlorinesubstituted derivatives is concluded to be due to the additional indirect process of intersystem crossing which occurs from S1 of n,π* to T1 passing through the intermediate triplet state of π,π*. A detailed discussion on the observed phosphorescence spectra originating from the three sublevels has achieved a satisfactory success in understanding the mechanisms responsible for the radiative decay processes. It is concluded that the mechanisms due to vibronic coupling with closely lying n,π* triplet states are of little importance in the systems studies here.
