QUENCHING OF CHLOROPHYLL FLUORESCENCE BY NITROBENZENE

Abstract—Nitrobenzene quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence in ethanol has been investigated. Steady state relative quantum yields have been measured and fluorescence decay rates were determined using both nanosecond photon counting and picosecond pulses from a mode‐locked Nd3+ glass laser.
