| Abstract: | A graphical procedure is presented which allows a determination of the average alignment of the molecular axes in partially oriented, low-symmetry planar molecules from the results of linear dichroism and fluorescence polarization spectroscopy. When applied to benza]anthracene, the method makes it possible to extract information on the previously unknown origin of the second excited electronic state. |
