A controversy has arisen regarding the photophysical properties of 9, 10-diphenylanthracene (DPA), a pop-ular emission quantum yield standard. In order to elucidate the causes of the disagreement in the litera-ture, fluorescence quantum yields, lifetimes, and oscillator strength's were measured for DPA in ethanol, 3-methylpentane, cyclohexane, and benzene solutions. The effects of high concentrations and self-absorp-tion were dramatized by determining the measured lifetime for a series of concentrations of DPA in cyclo-hexane, demonstrating that the optical density in the 0-0 band must be kept below 0.05/cm in DPA to avoid reabsorption. It is proposed that these effectsconstitute a partial explanation for thediscrepancies in the literature. In addition, the universal application in quantum yieldmeasurements of the correctionfac-tor ns2/nr2 for differences between the index of refraction of the sample ns and the reference nr is ques-tioned. By means of a variable slit arrangement, we have shown that theproper correction is a strong func-tion of the geometry of thesample compartment. This effect suggests that wide utilization of the standard correction term may also provide a source of error. Taking these deficiencies into consideration the following fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes of DPA at 293 K were determined: 0.95, 8.19 ns in ethanol; 0.93, 7.88 ns in 3-methylpentane; 0.86, 7.58 ns in cyclohexane; 0.82, 7.34 ns in benzene.
