The absolute quantum efficiencies of fluorescence of deaerated solutions of several organic fluorescent substances in pe-troleum ether (bp 60-80), ethanol (99%) and benzene at 25 were measured with a rhodamin B quantum counter. An equation was derived for correcting the observed efficiencies of fluorescence for reabsorption of fluorescence and shifts in the region of absorption away from the quantumcounter. Absolute quantum efficiencies of fluorescence extrapolated to zero concentration, bimolecular self quenching constants and oxygen-quenching constants were measured at 25. Quinine bisulfate, 5 X 10” 3 M in 1N H2SO4, is proposed as a standard with an absolute quantum fluorescence efficiency of 0.51 at 25.A knowledge of quantum efficiencies and self-quenching constants of fluorescent organic mole-cules in solution has many important applications in physical chemistry, for example, in the investigation of internal conversion, intersystem crossing (singlet-triplet transitions), fluorescence quenching and the transfer of electronic excita-tion energy in solution. The measurement of quantum fluorescence efficiencies has been reviewed recently by Forster. 3 The method of Bowen4 has the merit of simplicity and if modified, 5 may be used over a wide range of wave lengths. Since 1951 other methods of measuring fluorescence efficiencies have been pub-
