Abstract

The strong temperature dependence of the phosphorescent decay rate of benzene is attributed to pseudorotational motion of benzene which has the lowered D_2h symmetry in the triplet state. This model accounts for the unusual deuterium effect of the activation energy, the very large pre-exponential factor, the low onset temperature, and the solvent effects.
