Manifestation of inertial component of medium relaxation in hot transition kinetics

Kinetics of relaxation of excited states in liquid polar media has been considered in this paper. A probability of hot electronic transitions for inertial (Gaussian correlation function) and diffusional (exponential correlation function) regime of polar solvent relaxation has been calculated. Possibilities and conditions of replacement of inertial relaxation by diffusional one in modeling the electronic transition kinetics in real solvents have been discussed.
