Abstract

By the pressure dependences of the decay rates of delayed fluorescence activated by vibrational excitation of triplet molecules of benzophenone and anthraquinone, the efficiencies of collisional transfer of vibrational energy (V–V-transfer) in the vibrational quasi-continuum of the triplet state have been estimated. It is shown that the efficiencies of the process in mixtures with foreign gases increase with increasing dipole moment and polarizability of colliding molecules. In the temperature range 433–513 K, we obtained an inverse temperature dependence of the V–V-transfer efficiency, which is satisfactorily described by empirical relations taking into account long-range attractive forces. The results obtained point to the determining role of long-range attractive forces in quasi-resonance V–V-transfer of vibrational energy by molecules excited in vibrational quasi-continuum.
