Scientific article: Naphthalene and anthracene undergo a monophotonic ionization process in MeCN to produce the radical cations in low quantum yields (around 0.06 for anthracene). This reaction originates from the relaxed singlet excited state S1, and it is not due to traces of H2O in the solvent. | Archive institutionnelle de l'Université de Genève - Institutional Repository of the University of Geneva
