Abstract

The objective of this study was to gain additional insight into the phenomenon of spin-orbit coupling in molecules by examining the intramolecular mechanisms responsible for the phosphorescence of certain types of molecules. Spectrocopic investigations of a series of aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic heterocyclics, and some of their halogen derivatives are reported. Experimental measurements included absorption spectra, total emission spectra, polarized emission spectra, obtained by the method of photoselection, and radiative lifetimes.
