Abstract Fluorescence Quenching of Alternant and Non-alternant Polycyclic Hydrocarbons by Nitro Compounds Fluorescence quenching of polycyclic aromatic hydro­ carbons by nitromethane or nitrobenzene in fluid solutions is due to an electron transfer mechanism. The non diffusion controlled rate constant of quenching is very much greater for alternant than for non-alternant hydrocarbons with equal singlet excitation energy. This is explained by the known more positive reduction potential of non-alternant compared to alternant hydrocarbons.
