Abstract
A long (microseconds) and shorter ( ∼ 1 μs) decay channel are resolved in the time evolution of very high Rydberg states of large aromatic molecules. A simple kinetic analysis is presented and applied to the very detailed results available for tetracene. It is concluded that under our experimental conditions the time evolution is due to intramolecular processes. The various possible decay channels are discussed.
