Triplet-Triplet Absorption Spectra of Organic Molecules in Condensed Phases

Published in 1986, this is an exhaustive compilation of the spectral parameters (wavelengths and extinction coefficients - where known) of excited triplet state absorption spectra for more than 1,100 organic species. A Table of Contents and access to some related studies follows below.

The compilation builds on earlier work of Labhardt and Heinzelmann and Bensasson and Land and was followed by a statistical evaluation (1987) which advocated a set of recommended values for triplet-triplet extinction coefficients and outlined a three-level hierarchy of reliability for the extant data.

A thorough literature search which supported this compilation was published in Radiat. Phys. Chem. and has been updated. Further information on the least-squares analysis is also available.

Some clarifications of the theoretical underpinnings of the methods for measuring extinction coefficients and their likely domains of applicability were also published, (reprints are available)

as was an IUPAC commissioned review of measurement methodology including recommended values,

and a compilation of the spectroscopic and photophysical properties of a set of 149 key triplet states.
