The fluorescence lifetime of xuleneda is found to be longer than that of azulenef?e both in frozen scluticn and under collision-free condition in the vapour. The lifetime of the emission of the isolated molecule decreases with higher energy excitation.

β¦ Synopsis
Azulene (symmetry C2,) is the only known example of a compound in which the fluorescence transition originates from the second electronically excited singlet state (S2 -SO) rather than from the lowest one (Sl -SO). It is shown that single annelation. lowering of symmetry (from C2*, to C, or C2). increase of the energy gap ratio (ES, -Es, )/(Es, -Es,). inclusion of a n loose bolt" substituent or an increase in spinorbit coupling does not remove this-anomaly.
