Optical spectroscopic studies of single crystals of tetracyanobenzene
- naphthalene doped by pyrene were performed within the temperature ra
nge around the ''order-disorder'' phase transition of the host crystal
at 73 K. It was established (by the use of phosphorescence and EPR st
udies) that the geometry of pyrene trap is much different in a low and
high temperature phases, thus being sensitive probe of a change of ho
st crystal structure. Activation energy and rate constant describing r
eorientation of trap structure were obtained.
