✦ Synopsis
A two-step laser-induced fluorescence (TSLIF) study of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT) in various solvents at < 100 K revealed an unusually high yield of tautomer emission resulting from the T; -tS', intersystem crossing (ISC, prime denotes the tautomer state) of the cis-keto form. The T-S ISC yield was measured to be 5.2 x 1 O-4 in a 77 K MCH glass. A mechanism incorporating T.,. + S,. ISC is discussed. The identical spectra between non-time-resolved prompt tautomer emission and TSLIF gives further support for the assignment to the cis-keto triplet state.

The photoexcitation of liquid solutions of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HBO) in alkanes leads to a dual phosphorescence which can be assigned to the keto and enol forms of HBO. The keto-enol tautomerism in the metastable triplet state of HBO is practically independent of temperature. The keto an
