A review of the relationship between Qe-aq and QF of excited compounds in aqueous solution

The relationship between the quantum yield of ejected electrons (Qe-aq) and that of the flourescence (QF) in respect to various factors influencing the chemical and photophysical behaviour of a given type of organic excited molecules is reviewed. A very likely mechanism for explanation of photoinduced electron ejection from excited molecules in aqueous solution is presented.
