Abstract
We investigated the external heavy atom effect on the dynamics of the isolated sublevels of naphthalene X-traps. The rate constants of the Tx (out of plane) and the Ty (short axis) states are selectively influenced. The heavy atom nearly exclusively affects the radiative decay. Certain symmetry restrictions may affect the external spin-orbit coupling.
