Diagram Structure

Energy Axis Columns Vibronic States

Energy is represented on the vertical axis. Each column represents a specific spin Within each electronic energy state are multiple
multiplicity for a molecule. vibronic energy states.
Energy Levels
1 Energy Difference
The difference in energy between electronic states
decreases as energy levels increase.

2 Overlap
The overlap of vibronic energy levels increases as
electronic energy levels get closer.
Light Absorption

Photon Absorption Electron Excitation Wavelength


A photon of a specific energy is The absorbed energy excites an Only certain wavelengths of light
absorbed by the molecule. electron to a higher energy level. can be absorbed, corresponding to
the energy difference between
eigenstates.
Vibrational Relaxation
• The excited electron loses energy through vibrational
relaxation.
• The energy is transferred to other vibrational modes as
kinetic energy.
• If vibrational energy levels overlap electronic energy
levels, internal conversion can occur.
Fluorescence
• The excited electron emits a photon, returning to a lower
energy level.
• Fluorescence is a slow process, taking 10-9 to 10-7 seconds.
• The energy of the emitted photon is less than the
absorbed photon due to energy loss.
Intersystem Crossing

Spin Change
The electron changes spin multiplicity from a singlet to a triplet state.

Forbidden Transition
Intersystem crossing is a slow, forbidden transition.

Multiple Pathways
Intersystem crossing leads to several pathways back to the ground state.
Phosphorescence
Process Description

Phosphorescence Radiative transition from an excited triplet state


to a singlet ground state.

Delayed Fluorescence Transition back to the first excited singlet level,


leading to fluorescence.
