Abstract

Dopant molecules which influence the excimer decay time of 9-cyanoanthracene also quench the photodimerization reaction, thus proving that electronic excitation energy is being transferred via the excimer exciton from the site of absorption to the site of reaction. The 9-cyanoanthracene excimer binding energy obtained from flourescence sensitization experiments is about 1500 ± 300 cm-1, in agreement with previous predictions. The average number of excimer hops, per photon absorbed, is about 6 X 103 and the corresponding hopping time is about 10-11 s.
