The possible role of valence isomers as intermediates in the unimolecular non-radiative relaxation ("internal conversion") of the S, state of benzene, including the fast channel 3 process, has been tested by irradiating the 260 nm absorption-system of 1,3,5trideuterobenzene and looking for isotopica

✦ Synopsis
Many but not al! bands of the 2600 A absorption system of benzene involving vibrational levels m&e than 3000 cm-l above the zerepoint level of the ,excited state are seen to be more or less diffuse when photographed under very high resolution This threshold lies almost exactly at the hkhest level above zerc-point from which.resonance fluorescence can be excited and indicates the sharply defined onset of a non-radiative relaxation process three orders of magnitude faster than the one leading to intersystem crossing at lower energies. Possible mechanisms are discussed. Predissociation appears to be ruled out by photochemical experimdnts.

A pulsed dye laser has been used to measure the radiative lifetimes and quenching rates of transitions of the BO: and AOJ states of Te,. The observed zero pressure lifetimes vary from 55 to 730 ns. The quenching rates vary from 0.9 x 10" to 40x lo6 S -' Torr-'.
