The photocurrent from anthracene in 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, cyclohexane, cyclopentane, and tetramethylsilane has been studied as a function of excitation energy from the ionization threshold to the onset of strong solvent absorption. In the case of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (isooctane), the dependence of the photocurrent on the magnitude of an externally applied electric field was additionally studied in order to separately evaluate the effect of excitation energy on the electron ejection probability and on the geminate ion pair escape probability. The effect of excitation energy on the quenching by n-perfluorohexane of the anthracene photocurrent in isooctane in also reported.
