For a molecule, the phosphorescence lifetime without quenching is 1.0 s while with a quencher population of 10-2 M the phosphorescence lifetime is 0.10 s. Calculate the rate constant for phosphorescence assuming that kisc >> (kF + kec + kic). Calculate the rate constant for external conversion of the triplet state (kec’), the quenching rate constant for the triplet state (kq’), and the Stern-Volmer quenching constant. Assume that intersystem crossing from T1 to So is negligible.
