Abstract

The purpose of this paper has been to investigate the effect of solvent on radiationless transitions. Two types of the solvent effect have been studied: one is the so-called medium-induced radiationless transition, i.e., the radiationless transition induced by the interaction between the solute and solvent, and the other is the effect of solvent on the radiationless transition through the change in energy gap induced by the solute-solvent interaction.

Keywords: electronic relaxation, Fermi golden rule, energy gap shift, blue shift, red shift
