Figure 5. Draw the Jablonski diagram for the excitation process and decay process occurring in the samples above this caption. You can take images literature and adapt as needed, but be sure to reference appropriately. Change the prose of this caption to explain the figure.
1. Explain how the triplet state is formed (created) in your experiments.
2. Why is the triplet decay a first order kinetic system? Why can it not be a second or third order kinetic system?
3. d-Naphthalene has a triplet lifetime much longer than the protonated molecule. Further, you may have noticed that the d-Naphthalene signal intensity is greater than the Naphthalene. The answer to both of these questions is essentially the same. Provide your answer with detailed explanations. You may want to consult references 2-4 in the manual.
