M. Sikorski et al., PHOTOPHYSICS OF XANTHIONE AND 4H-1-BENZOPYRAN-4-THIONE IN BETA-CYCLODEXTRIN COMPLEXES, Chemical communications, (4), 1997, pp. 395-396
The phosphorescence decays of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) complexes of
xanthione (XT) and 4H-1-benzopyran-4-thione (BPT) show that self-quen
ching and oxygen quenching are not important in such complexes, and th
at the existence of bimodal inclusion in solid complexes can be identi
fied using the width of the distribution parameter of the Gaussian dis
tribution of the logarithm of the observed rate constants for decay.
