## Considerable evidence exists for a pressure-independent intersystem crossing from the lowest triplet to the ground state in aromatic vapours. The rate-constant is around lo3 set-l. A model is discussed which explains this fast rate in terms of adiabatic molecular rotations.

The triplet yields and lifetimes of a series of substitu ted benzophenoncs have been determined by their cfficienc) in sensirizing biacetyl phosphorescence, in benzene solution. The triplet decay constants of nine Pam-substituted derivatives show n satisfactory Hnmmett-type correlation. The results
Measurements hare been made of the fluorescence hfetimes of se\ en1 akmes in the collision-free vapour state. The fIuorescence lifetimes decreased with increasing energy of excitation, but the lifetimes of molccuIes exrted near the zeropoint level exhibited values similar to the neat liquid \.dues,
Optic-acoustic measurements of heat energy yields for vapour-phase benzene, excited at 248 nm, as a function of high oxygen pressure have been used to determine parameters associated with the photo-oxidation of benzene. The restrIts suggest that interaction between the highly vΓ―brationally excited 3
