TLDR
The zero-field splitting of the non-phosphorescent lowest triplet state of free base porphin is measured by observing microwave induced changes in the fluorescence of this molecule as a guest in a Shpolskii-matrix of n -octane at 4.2°K.

The lowest triplet state of Zn porphin

TL;DR: In this article, three pairs of microwave transitions with widths of a few MHz are found, all of them corresponding to a decrease in phosphorescence intensity, corresponding to the Shpolskii effect, and it was further established that by pumping either of these transitions a third one can be detected at the difference frequency, so that the order of the levels must be X>Y>Z (or reverse)

Optically Detected Adiabatic Inversion in Phosphorescent Triplet States and the Measurement of Intramolecular Energy Transfer Processes

TL;DR: The theory and observation of microwave induced population inversion within triplet magnetic sublevels in zero field is presented in this paper, where inversion via adiabatic fast passage can be measured quantitatively by changes in triplet phosphorescence and can be accomplished easily and with microwave field strengths even lower than are required for cw saturation.
