Abstract
The influence of ethylhalogenes on the polarization of the phosphorescence of naphthalene was studied by means of the photoselection technique. It is shown that with increasing concentration and with increasing nuclear charge of the heavy atom the phosphorescence of naphthalene becomes increasingly depolarized. The influence of the external heavy atom on the Tx- and Tz- substate is stronger than on the Ty-substate. From the concentration dependence of the depolarizatign conclusions concerning the mechanism of the external spin-orbit-coupling are drawn. The dirept spin-orbit-coupling mechanism is ruled out. In the model discussed the variation of the external heavy atom effect with the intermolecular distance is related to overlap integrals.
