Diffusion Coefficients of Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Their Lowest Triplet State: Anthracene in Hexane, Octane, Hexadecane, Perfluorohexane, and Methylcyclohexane; Pyrene and 9,10-Di-phenylanthracene in Hexane

Abstract An experimental method is described which allows the determination of the diffusion coefficient D of an aromatic hydrocarbon in its lowest and metastable triplet state T1 with an absolute accuracy of ±5%. D was determined at 25 °C. With anthracene the temperature-dependence of D was measured from 0°C to 60°C in hexane and from 20°C to 89°C in hexadecane; it was found to be in good but not perfect agreement with the Stokes-Einstein equation. With the investigated systems, D of molecules in T1 is estimated to be at most 10% smaller than D of molecules in the ground state. No evidence for the formation of triplet excimers was found. Some applications of the method are proposed, and in this connection some questions concerning the kinetics of diffusion-controlled reactions of molecules in T1 and the existence of triplet excimers are discussed.
