Abstract
The fluorescence lifetime of acridine is measured as a function of temperature in three solvents. Whether the solvent is protic or aprotic, the same activation energy is extrapolated for energy dissipation. These results are inconsistent with a model used to describe electronic relaxation in acridine that depends solely on the energy gap between electronic states.Keywords
