The dependences on concentration of the yield of excited triplet naphthalene, G ( 3 Naph٭), and of the radiation-induced fluorescence obtained on pulse radiolysis of solutions of naphthalene in cyclopentane, cyclooctane and decalin are reported. The yields of singlet excited naphthalene, G( 1 Naph٭), formed on pulse radiolysis of these solutions have been determined by comparing the intensity of the radiation-induced fluorescence with that obtained on photo excitation and the extent of formation of 3 Naph٭ by intersystem crossing, G ( 3 Naph٭) i. s. c., is assessed. Upper limit yields of solvent excited states, G ( 1 RH٭), were determined by measuring the extent of singlet energy transfer to toluene. It is concluded that energy transfer from solvent excited states plays a minor role in the formation of excited states of aromatic solutes.

The concentration dependences of the yield of excited triplet states, G ( 3 S*), and the concentration dependences of the relative yield of radiation-induced fluorescence obtained on pulse radiolysis of solutions of naphthalene, anthracene, pyrene and 2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO) are reported. The yields of excited singlet state solute molecules, G ( 1 S*), formed on pulse radiolysis of naphthalene-cyclohexane and naphthalene-benzene solutions has been determined by comparing the intensity of the radiation-induced fluorescence with that obtained on photo-excitation. It is concluded that intersystem crossing (i.s.c.) from the excited singlet state is an important process in the formation of the high yield of triplet excited states of the solute. Under certain conditions this process accounts for up to 50 % of G ( 3 S*) in cyclohexane and the entire G ( 3 S*) in benzene solutions.
