Probably the wrong place to ask this, but I'm currently trying to figure out exactly why aromatics (e.g. polyvinyl toluene [PVT], polystyrene [PS], anthracene) fluoresce and scintillate... I know its got something to do with the pi system causing dense clouds of electrons to form in the ring, and that the addition of a methyl group to PS [i.e. PVT] increases the density of electrons in the ring........ but can't quite fathom why this allows it to scintillate.....
Nice!
