The fluorescence of tryptophan solutions in glycerol, water and ethanol was measured as a function of temperature using steady state and time-resolved techniques. The non-radiative rate constants responsible for the variation of fluorescence quantum yields with temperature are evaluated. Spectral shifts occurring on the nanosecond scale are interpreted in terms of an inversion of 1Lb and 1La states produced by solvent perturbation.
