Abstract
Within the model of stepwise relaxation of electronic excitation energy (the
model), we analyze the features of the luminescent spectral characteristics of aromatic and heteroaromatic molecules.We have shown that in order to satisfactorily explain the experimental data, we need to use a special case of the
model, the -
mechanism. We discuss the conditions under which the VaviIov rule and the Kasha and 8rmolaev-Sveshnikova rules are satisfied.
