Influence of the Reversible Energy Transfer on the Donor Fluorescence Quantum Yield in Donor-Acceptor Systems

Abstract

In mixed systems of donor and acceptor molecules having closely located S1, levels a reversible nonradiative energy transfer should occur. It influences remarkably the dependence of the donor quantum yield ηD on the acceptor concentration in the range of high acceptor concentrations of systems with high donor-to-acceptor reduced concentration ratios. © 1984, Walter de Gruyter.
