Sm. Arabei et al., ANALYSIS OF THE SITE SELECTED FLUORESCENCE AND THE PHOSPHORESCENCE SPECTRUM OF HYPERICIN IN ETHANOL, Chemical physics letters, 270(1-2), 1997, pp. 31-36
A vibrational analysis with tentative bands assignment of the high res
olution fluorescence and fluorescence excitation spectra of hypericin
in ethanol at 4.2 K is presented. Spectral evidences of the occurrence
of intramolecular hydrogen bonds are given. The phosphorescence spect
rum of hypericin in ethanol at 77 K has been recorded and the followin
g main parameters of the triplet state were measured: E-T1 = 13250 cm(
-1) and tau(T1) = 7.2 x 10(-4) s.
