Conformational effects in fluorescent excited charge-transfer complex formation
Abstract
From a study of the variation in fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime with change in solvent polarity for some ω-(1-naphthyl)-N-alkylpyrroles it is concluded that the conformation of the excited complex has little effect upon the wavelength of fluorescence but does have an effect upon the relative efficiencies of the radiative and non-radiative decay processes.
