A plot of the
quenching rate constant of an excited molecular entity by a series of quenchers versus the
excited state energy of the quenchers. Alternatively, a plot of the
rate constant for the
sensitization of a reaction versus the
excited state energy of different sensitizers. This type of plot is used to estimate the energy of the excited molecular entity quenched (in the former case) or produced (in the latter case).
