Evidence demojhstsating an explicit nuclear coordinate dependence bf efectr&c matrix e&&s in the tran&ion _ moment for phosphorescence to the ground state'vibration~ maRifofd has been found for substituted benzenes by an opticaliy detected microwave double resonance esperimen:. Theoretical expressions for .the experimentai obseW* tions developed within the framework of the Coridon qnd He.rzber, O-Teller approsimations f&l to cxpla?n thk results, implying that these approximations are not general enough to give a good description of radiative transitions in aromatic molecules. Additional tem'is in the Herzberg-Teller expansion and the breakdown of the Born-Opperr heimer approximation are briefly discussed as nltemativcs which can be used to explain the ~x~e~ent~ obsqa!ions '.

Radiative lifetimes of the lowest triplet states are determined for several aromatic hydrocarbons from the measured fluorescence quantum yield, phosphorescence quantum yield, and lifetime of phosphorescence. It is found that the radiative lifetime is considerably Iorger for pcrdeuterated naphthalen
