✦ Synopsis
The results of polarized Stark effect absorption esperimcnts on the lower triplet states ofp-benzoquinone (PBQ)-h4 and -dq in single crystals at 1.8"K are reported. These measurements give strong support for the assignment of the lowest triplet state as triplet 3B transition at 18602.8 cm-' ,g (nn*). The origin of this state in PBQ-h, is observed as an electric field induced and is interpreted as the g-inversion level of a double-minimum potential well. The lint observed at 18619.7 cm-' in the PBQ-114 crystal is therefore assigned as the u-inversion level of this double well with A,, (B,p@b , ,,) total symmetry. Its intensity manifests the strong vibronic coupling that occurs among the B [g and p . -.-A, nn triplet states along b,, -type nuclear motions.
