Polyatomic molecular entities luminesce with appreciable yield only from the lowest excited state of a given multiplicity. There are exceptions to this rule.
Note:
The concept has been extended to the reaction of excited species, i.e., polyatomic molecular entities react with appreciable yield only from the lowest excited state of a given multiplicity.
