4. For phenanthrene, the measured lifetime of the triplet state is 5 = 3.3 s. The...
*The quenching of tryptophan fluorescence by dissolved O2 gas was monitored by measuring emission lifetimes at 348 nm in aqueous solution. Determine the quenching rate constant for this process from the following data. [O2] (10-2mol dm-3) 0 2.3 5.5 8 10.8 T/ns 2.6 1.5 0.92 0.71 0.57 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ When benzophenone is illuminated with ultraviolet light, it is excited into a singlet state. This singlet changes rapidly into a triplet, which phosphoresces. Triethylamine acts as a quencher for the triplet....
