Abstract The influence of temperatur and pressure on the fluorescence quantum yield of N-methylacridone (9,10-dihydro-9-oxo-10-methyl-acridine) in toluene in the range of 283-313 K and 1 bar to 2.5 kbar, respectively, has been investigated. Treatment of the data in terms of the Eyring transition-state theory leads to a consistent interpretation of the observed effect. The unusually large increase of the quantum yield with increasing pressure is attributed to a positive volume of activation, ⊿V≠, for the thermally activated S1-T2 intersystem crossing which is known to be the only deactivation process (of the Si-state) competing with fluorescence. Comparison of the values for ⊿H≠, the activation enthalpy of this process, determined at various pressures, indicates a decrease in ⊿H≠ at elevated pressures. Since ⊿H≠ can be associated with the S1-T2 energy gap involved in intersystem crossing, this result further confirms the conclusion that the change in Franck-Condon factors alone cannot account for the decrease in the intersystem crossing rate with increasing pressure.

Excitation-energy dependent parity ratios in the level densities of [Formula: see text] isotopes are calculated within a microscopic approach. Introducing a parity equilibration parameter, energy dependence of the transition from where a single parity dominates to a parity equilibrated state is compared among [Formula: see text] isotopes and its relation to the pairing effect is investigated. A correlation between the pair-breaking and the equilibration of parity distributions is observed for the considered isotopes.
