Fluorescence - quenching

 

1.Dynamic quenching via collision

 

2.Static quenching via complex formation

 

3. Quenching by internal processes

 

 

 

M + hn_1--> M*

M* --> M + hn₂                                           Fluorescence-emission

 

ad 1

 

M* --> M + heat                                          Collision quenching

 

ad 2

 

M + Q --> MQ                                             Complex formation

M + hn1 --> MQ* --> MQ + heat

 

ad 3

 

M* --> M + heat                                          internal process (without radiation)
