Abstract
The ratio of the fast to the slow component in the decay of the 1B3u state of pyrazine is shown to vary strongly across the rotational manifold. In P(1) the fast component is absent, between the transitions it is dominant. Therefore, the excitation spectrum depends on the time the fluorescence is registered. The effects are due to non-resonant light scattering (NRLS), which because of its high quantum yield, shows up as unexpectedly strong. NRLS contributes to the fast component.
