Comment on “A comparative study on electron transfer fluorescence quenching by aliphatic and aromatic amines” from Inada et al., J. Photochem. Photobiol. A 137 (2000) 93–97

This comment draws attention to the fact that a biased set of electron donor/acceptor couples can lead to an unorthodox vision of fluorescence quenching mechanism. It is shown that the results reported by Inada et al. can be adequately explained by resorting to adiabaticity and stereo-electronic effects.
