Eu(acetylacetonato)3 excited state quenched by Anthracene

Eu(acetylacetonato)₃ quenched by Anthracene at conc. <= 0.0028 mol L^–1
Solvent : Acetone, 27ºC

k_q = 5.9 x 10⁶(L mol^–1 s^–1)

Mechanism: energy transfer
Experimental methods: conventional flash, luminescence, single shot signal
Lifetime in the absence of quencher, air free = 158 micro sec.
Comments: larger K_SV with steady state irradiation/luminescence
