✦ Synopsis


The fluorescence and fluorescence-excitation spectra of adsorbed pyrene on a silica gel surface at low surface coverage have been observed. Pyrene exists as a monomer and dimer in its ground state on a silica gel surface when adsorption occurs from cyclohexane solution. Based on the fluorescence-excitation spectra of the adsorbed pyrene, the dimeric configuration of adsorbed pyrene is estimated. The results imply that large intermolecular movement between the unexcited monomer unit and the excited monomer unit in dimeric pyrene is necessary to form a certain excimer geometry.
