β¦ Synopsis
Two anomalous emission bands in the fluorescence spectrum of 3,4-benzpyrenc, dissofvcd in 2.methyfpentane. have been studied 2s a function of temperature. These emissions originate from the second excited singlet state S2. and from ;1 vibrationally excited St state (Sy) respectively. From the temperature dependence of the r&rive yield and the decay time of the ST emission it can be conch&d that the vibrational relaxation of this state is hampered. The rate constant for this reIxation process is smaller than 4 X LO' se&-'.

A model for cross relaxation in high symmetry systems is developed. The positions of all acceptor ions and all multipole-multipole interactions may be included. The geometric factors are explicitly considered. A feature of the model is that it enables decay rates and the form of decay curves to be p
