Anthracene in frozen aqueous micellar solutions of surfactants n-alkyltrimethyl-ammonium halide (C',,TAX, n = 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18; X=F, Cl, Br, I) was exposed to laser pulse excitation at 308 nm in the temperature range HI-270 K. Relative triplet yields and lifetimes were measured by electron para

✦ Synopsis
Excitation spectra of anthracene were recorded in the temperature range 80 -270 K in various frozen aqueous solutions containing the surfactants cetyltrimethylammonium halide CTAX (X = F, Cl, Br, I) or alkali dodecylsulphate MDS (M = Na, Cs). Fluorescence quantum yields (relative values) were obtained by integrating the area under the excitation spectra. A new, hitherto unobserved, emission was detected at temperatures above 250 K and was assigned to the formation of an anthracene-halide anion exciplex. It was most pronounced in the presence of fluoride and chloride anions. The existence of exciplexes under the given conditions is taken as evidence for the diffusion of species at temperatures well below the macroscopic melting point.
