Fig. 13.10 Absorption of blue light by (Ru(bpy)3]2+ gives l Ru(bpy)3J3+ which relaxes to [ Ru(bpy)3] + without light emission. [ Ru(bpy)3] + may emit orange-red light (luminesce) or undergo oxidation or reduction Standard reduction potentials associated with individual processes are shown in the diagram.

The foundation of excitons theory was formulated by Frenkel, Peierls and Wannier (l)-(5) more than 70 years ago. After that time the theory has been enriched by many new aspects. The theory has also been exposed to continuous experimental verification, which has confirmed the role of excitons in such processes as absorption of light, luminescence and energy transfer, photochemical processes, etc. Before we examine the experiments, which illustrate the presence and the role of excitons in crystals, we will briefly describe the basic models of excitons, which are mostly used in the interpretation of experimental results. 

Measurement of emission intensity or emission decay (lifetime) when the photoexcited state emits light (luminescence, either fluorescence or phosphorescence).

Photochemical reactions can occur when light is absorbed by a compound. In this process, an electron is promoted and the ground-state electronic configuration is changed to that of one of the excited states. Even the longer-lived of these states only survive 10 to 10 sec, and so if any photochemistry is to occur, the excited state must react very quickly. If a molecule of product is formed for every photon absorbed, the quantum yield, 4>, is said to be unity. Otherwise the electron falls back to the ground state and the compound either emits light (luminescence) or is heated up thermally in this case, chemistry does not occur and 4> ifor product formation will normally be less than unity. 

TOe results provide strong evidence for the new form of silica which may become a promising material for future blue light luminescent devices. 

During the last 50 years, pyridine and systems based on pyridines have been intensively studied due to their photochemical properties (in particular, phosphorescence). Besides, during the last decade, a renewed interest appeared in pyridine systems, after the report of its polymerization and the unusual blue light luminescence of the polypyridine [5,14,15,51-54]. 

Chemiluminescence is the emission of light (luminescence) without emission of heat as the result of a chemical reaction.
