Abstract

AbstractIt has been demonstrated that the triplet lifetime of nonemitting molecules in the dilute vapor phase ‐ even for complex triplet decays ‐ can be accurately determined by means of time‐resolved triplet‐triplet (T‐T) energy transfer to a strong emitter molecule. Besides the test molecules 1‐butyne‐3‐one and benzaldehyde the lifetime of the vibrationally relaxed nonemitting T1(nπ*) state of cycloheptanone, τ=63 ± 5 µs at ∼︁0.5 Torr, together with its energy transfer rate constant to biacetyl, kET=(1.80±0.08) x 106 s−1 Torr−1, have been measured.
