36. a. An additional complication arises when the dielectric constant of a polar solvent becomes larger with decreasing temperature, which is generally the case (ref. 35). As for the ICT reaction from the LE to the CT state (Scheme 1) an increase in dipole moment takes place (refs. 4,8), this phenomenon leads to an increase in -ΔH when the temperature is lowered.
37. 1) of the first excited singlet state of CDA was obtained by determining the crossing point of the normalised fluorescence and absorption spectra, see Figure 1.

40. K.A. Zachariasse, unpublished results. The decrease in the fluorescence decay time with increasing temperature often observed for molecules with fluorescence quantum yields clearly smaller than unity, is caused by the thermal activation of the intersystem crossing process, see ref. 23.

42. 2 with a value corresponding to the 100 ps observed with CDA in n-propylcyanide (Figure 7), was not detected for CDA in diethyl ether.
