TLDR
In this article, the authors examined previous results and theories concerning the emission of light from frozen solutions of pyrene in hydrocarbon solvents, and suggested that the results are due to the formation of Pyrene crystals, which exhibit?excimer? fluorescence.
Abstract: 
Previous results and theories concerning the emission of light from frozen solutions of pyrene in hydrocarbon solvents are examined in the context of the present experiments. It is suggested that the results are due to the formation of pyrene crystals, which exhibit ?excimer? fluorescence.

The Chemistry of Excited Complexes: a Survey of Reactions

R. S. Davidson
- 01 Jan 1983 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the chemistry of excited complexes and the maximum rate for the process is determined by the rate constant for diffusion control in the solvent employed, which is a function of the number of collisions that must occur within the lifetime of the excited state.
