A. Arena et al., ANALYSIS OF THE PHOSPHORESCENCE OF THIANTHREN CRYSTALS, Nuovo cimento della Societa italiana di fisica. D, Condensed matter,atomic, molecular and chemical physics, biophysics, 15(12), 1993, pp. 1521-1532
The room temperature phosphorescence of crystalline thianthren in the
1.6-3.3 eV energy region has been measured using time delays going fro
m 0.03 to 9.5 ms. The time dependence of the emission spectra which sh
ow the presence of three resolved bands, was analysed by means of a nu
merical best-fitting procedure, and the results obtained have been com
pared with those predicted by means of ab initio and semiempirical mol
ecular orbital calculations.
