triplet-triplet annihilation

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.T06505
Two atoms or molecular entities both in a triplet state often interact (usually upon collision) to produce one atom or molecular entity in an excited singlet state and another in its ground singlet state. This is often, but not always, followed by delayed fluorescence.
