Fluorescence has been observed from the second excited singkt stste of tkiophosgene vapour. The emission is excited mainly by transitions originating in the out-of-plane bending mode of the ground stzte and terminating in the lowest vibrational levekof the-excited state. i '.

โฆ Synopsis
The dynamic behavior of the second excited singlet state of QCS has been investigated for the first time in liquid solutions. In perfluoroalkane solvents strong B-ji. fluorescence (@f up to 0.077) 1s observed when the molecule is excited to bound vibrational states. s lifetimes of up 10 2.8 ns are obtained. Dissociation, either directly (in competition with vibrational relaxation) at high vibrational energies or indirectly by solvent activation when low vibrational levels are initially populated, appears to be the mam radiationless decay path. Fluorescence is much weaker in other solvents. A rate constant of 9.5 X IO9 M-' s-is measured for quenching by n-hexane.
