The inductive-resonant mechanism of nonradiative transitions between electronic levels in lanthanide and transition metal ions and complex molecules in the condensed phase is systematically described. A quantum-mechanical justification is presented, and theoretical expectations conforming to the mechanisms and quantitative rate constants of nonradiative transitions are compared with experiment.
