✦ Synopsis

Computer analysis of the lurninesccnce decay times of rutjleaocene in the range of 4.2 to 77 K has yicld:d C~CTgies and decay parameters for the lowest excited states. The derived level pattern has been 1;1 ticnaked on the basis of a 'EL (dd) term, split by = 500 cm-'by spin-orbit coupling into A2 + Al+ El + E2 components in order of increasinp energy. From a preliminary Frank-Condon analysis of the rvell-structured lumir.cscencc; observed at 4.2 R, the molecule is shown to be expanded in the excited AZ state, primarily along the principa! symmetry ark.
