Kcccivcd 3 .I une 1983 The S;t -So fluorccccnce spectra and qusntum yields and the .Sz lifetimes of ~.~,3,3-tctr~metily~ind~nethione (TUIr) ha&e been mca.urcd in several sotventc using a synchronously pumped picosecond dye laser excitation system. The S, nonradhtkc decay rate is ntsrkedi) sohent dcpendcnt. In inert perfhxoroalkane solvents remarkably large &-So fluorescence quantum yields (of = 0.14) .md long S, lifetimes (T= 880 ps) are measured. Hydrocarbons are effxient excited-state quenchers.
