38. Since any quenching by the solvent itself, solvent impurities or traces of oxygen lower the fluorescence lifetimes and quantum yields by the same extent, the radiative lifetimes of DBO (presenting the ratio of these experimental data) are insensitive to quenching. In other words, all radiationless deactivation processes are explicitly corrected for and can be neglected in the present analysis.

41. The failure to recognize the large variations in the previous study are due to several circumstances including (1) an incorrectly reported fluorescence quantum yield in the gas phase from the literature (see also main text), (2) a restricted choice of solvents with similar polarizability, (3) larger errors (±15%) of quantum yield measurement, and (4) an apparently erratic fluorescence quantum yield measured for benzene.
