The mechanism for inducing the probability of the ..cap alpha.. /sup 1/..delta../sub g/-X /sup 3/..sigma../sub g//sup -/ transition in an oxygen molecule with the simultaneous excitation of a vibration state of the solvent has been considered. The intensification of the O-O band of this transition under the influence of the solvent is attributed to the induction of the electric dipole moment of the b/sup 1/..sigma../sub g//sup +/-..cap alpha.. /sup 1/..delta../sub g/ (m/sub ba/) transition during a collision between O/sub 2/ and solvent molecules. It has been shown that m/sub ba/ is strongly dependent on the intermolecular distance and, consequently, on the normal coordinate of the vibrations of the solvent (Q) at a given collision parameter. Calculation of the derivative deltam/sub ba//deltaQ (with consideration of the strong spin-orbit coupling of the b /sup 1/..sigma../sub g//sup +/ and X /sup 3/..sigma../sub g//sup -/ states) makes it possible to account for the intensity of the new luminescence band of /sup 1/..delta../sub g/ singlet oxygen, which is shifted toward longer wavelengths relative to the O-O band of the ..cap alpha.. /sup 1/..delta../sub g/-X /sup 3/..sigma../sub g//sup -/ by the value of the vibrational quantum of the solvent.
