Effects of intermolecular photophysical processes on fluorescence emission

Effects of intermolecular photophysical processes on fluorescence emission 

Luminescence research has a long history, full of splendor and surprise, and a bright future, promising variegated applications to probe molecules and crystals, to visualize atomic phenomena. 

In Chapter 3 we described the intrinsic pathways of de-excitation of a molecule M the sum fey of the rate constants for these processes is equal to the reciprocal of the excited-state lifetime to1  

The main intermolecular photophysical processes responsible for de-excitation of molecules are presented in Table 4.1. It is interesting to note that most of them
