Abstract
The non-radiative decay rates of triplet benzene and 2-chloronaphthalene were determined as a function of excitation energy. As the excitation energies were increased, the non-radiative decay rates increased gradually. In the case of 2-chloronaphthalene it increased rapidly for the excitation energies above about 38000 cm-1.
