Spectral and photophysical properties of thioxanthone (9H-thioxanthen-9-one, TX) were determined in a few protic solvents (H2O, D2O, hexafluoro-2-propanol) and compared with those in aprotic solvents. On the basis of the time-resolved and steady-state emission measurements and available literature data, it has been shown that the dominant S1-TX deactivation process in protic solvents is the formation of the S1-complex. The important modes of deactivation of the S1-complex are fluorescence (phiF approximately 0.4-0.5) and intersystem crossing to the T1 state. The S1-complex-->S0 internal conversion plays, at most, an insignificant role in S1-complex deactivation, which is evidenced by the absence of an isotope effect of protic solvents on the lifetime and quantum yield of fluorescence.
