Triplet State Photophysics

Spectroscopy and Intramolecular Photophysics
of Triplet States

This review and compilation of the properties of 149 key triplet states contains data at both room and low (usually 77 K) temperatures. Solvent effects are noted, distinguishing amongst benzenoid, polar, and nonpolar media.

Data include:

Triplet state energies
Wavelength maxima and extinction coefficients of triplet state absorption
Decay rates of transient triplet absorbance
Triplet state formation yields
Phosphorescence quantum yields and decay times

The triplet-triplet absorption data is based on an earlier exhaustive compilation, and a much more comprehensive study has appeared in our update of Murov's Handbook of Photochemistry.
