Popis: | The rate constant K ST for the nonradiative intersystem crossing transition S 1(1 B 1u ) ↝ T 1(3 B 1u ) (I) in 9,10-dichloroanthracene (DClA) is calculated in terms of the model of vibronic-induced spin-orbit (VISO) interactions. The magnitude fluorescence quantum yield ϕfl is estimated. Comparison of K ST(I) and ϕfl for DClA with the corresponding values obtained earlier for anthracene (AC), where K ST is governed by the conversion channels (I) and S 1(1 B 1u ) ↝ T 2(3 B 3g ) (II), shows that the theoretical estimates reflect the anomalous heavyatom effect in these molecules in accordance with the experimental (literature) data. The cause for this effect is revealed. The influence of different factors on the K ST(I) constant and on the ratio of its components K ST (where s denotes the z and y spin-sublevels) is established for DClA. These factors are the magnitude of the spin-orbit coupling parameter in a chlorine atom, the change, as compared to AC (in the same conversion channel (I)) of the distribution of electrons in the carbon core of the DClA molecule, and the change in the form of out-of-plane vibrational modes involved in VISO interactions. |
