Abstract
Energies of electronically excited states of phenol and its water complexes have been calculated with the use of the method of intermediate neglect of differential overlap (INDO) and the theory of intermolecular photophysical processes. The fluorescence quantum yield has been investigated as a function of the excitation energy. It is shown that the experimental dependence of the fluorescence quantum yield on the excitation energy is determined by the photolysis of phenol. The photoreaction of the breaking of the OH bond has been considered. Its mechanism and electronically excited states in which it runs have been established.
