Abstract:
The first-order decay of triplet naphthalene in solution is not consistent with the theory. Causes of discrepancies have been attributed to impurity quenching processes. The study of triplet decay rate constants of naphthalene in propylene glycol solution from 30C to -85C has revealed two distinct behaviours of decay. Higher decay rates at room temperatures are accounted in terms of the concurrence of unimolecular decay and a bimolecular -diffusion-controlled reaction between the triplet molecule and an unknown efficient quenching impurity.
