Abstract
We demonstrate that reversible reactions occurring in the excited electroni c state undergo a 'kinetic transition' as a function of the difference in e xcited-state decay rates. This conclusion follows from a remarkably accurat e approximate solution obtained for the kinetics of diffusion-influenced re versible geminate dissociation reactions in solution, which becomes exact a t long times.
