@[email protected] of an excited molecular entity intermolecularly by an external environmental influence (such as a @[email protected]) or intramolecularly by a substituent through a non-radiative process.
Notes:
- When the external environmental influence (@[email protected]) interferes with the behaviour of the @[email protected] after its formation, the process is referred to as dynamic quenching. Common mechanisms include energy transfer, @[email protected], etc.
- When the environmental influence inhibits the @[email protected] formation the process is referred to as static quenching.
