Using femtosecond spectroscopy and steady-state luminescence methods, the mechanisms of very fast non-radiative deactivation (knr ~ 5 ? 1011 ?-1) of the electronic excitation energy at room temperature in organic and buffer solutions of well-known natural antioxidants rutin and quercetin have been studied.
