title: Naphthalene in the higher triplet excited state.
abstract: Naphthalene in the higher triplet excited state Np(Tn) was generated from the two-step excitation method using two-colour two-laser flash photolysis technique and the lifetime of Np(Tn) was estimated to be 4.5 ps from the triplet energy quenching by quenchers such as p-dichlorobenzene, o-dicyanobenzene and carbon tetrachloride.
