The luminescence of anthraquinone (AQ) in Freon at 25 C consists of two sets of emission bands. The emission at longer wavelengths is phosphorescence, which has previously been observed only in frozen glasses at 77 K. The short-wavelength emission is delayed thermal fluorescence (DTF), which disappears upon cooling to 77 K. The occurrence of DTF in AQ is confirmed by plots of log (/) vs. 1¡ T. These are linear with a slope equal to the ST split (1400 cm-1) in AQ. In addition, values of tdft and depend on the amount of quencher present, such as oxygen, but they are equal for a given solution. This agrees with the lifetime of the AQ triplet, as measured by flash photolysis studies of TT absorption. For AQ in Freon at 25 C, and are 0.057±0.011 and 0.037±0.008, respectively. A steady-state model for the AQ excited states was developed that explains the nearly 6% yield of DTF for a compound never reported to fluoresce in fluid solution (< 0.0005). DTF is shown to result from thermally activated TS crossing having a rate at least 101 2 3greater than that of deactivation from the triplet. The steady-state model also shows that earlier quenching and quantum yield studies on AQ photoreduction are insufficient toassign the AQ triplet as the photoreactive state.
