Abstract

Michael Kasha, a scientist born in 1920 to Ukrainian immigrants, made significant contributions to molecular electronic spectroscopy and molecular photochemistry throughout the twentieth century. He coauthored important papers on triplet states of organic molecules and developed Kasha's Rules, which describe the emitting state of a multiplicity and the characteristics of nonradiative states. Kasha became a professor at Florida State University, where he founded the Institute of Molecular Biophysics and conducted research on molecular aggregates and excited-state proton transfer. He received numerous honors and was remembered through conferences, awards, and publications after his death in 2013. [Extracted from the article]
