Franck-Condon transitions and thermodynamics of photoinduced processes of orientational relaxation in polar solutions

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Abstract

Polar luminescence probe+polar medium subsystems are considered. True minimization parameters of the free energy F are obtained. It is shown that Franck-Condon transitions between F-terms of different electronic states are generally not “vertical”. A complete thermodynamic classification of photoinduced processes of orientational relaxation in the excited S1 and ground S0 states is presented. Depending on the excitation conditions they can be either exo- or endothermic, spontaneous or induced (not spontaneous), and accompanied by an increase or decrease in entropy. Indifferent processes also take place. Regularities of shifts of fluorescence spectral bands and burned holes in time-resolved experiments are discussed.
