23. nr is proportional to the excited state/ground-state vibrational overlap factors (i.e., the Franck-Condon factors) which decrease with temperature due to the decrease in Boltzmann population of excited vibronic levels and decreased electronphonon coupling to outer-sphere solvent modes. In the context of this "typical behavior" of low-to-medium molecular weight organic compounds, the temperature-dependent photophysics of 1 and 2 is unusual.
