Preferred Label : Förster excitation transfer;
Detailed label : Förster excitation transfer (dipole–dipole excitation transfer);
IUPAC definition : A mechanism of excitation transfer which can occur between molecular entities separated
by distances considerably exceeding the sum of their van der Waals radii. It is described
in terms of an interaction between the transition dipole moments (a dipolar mechanism).
The transfer rate constant kD A is given by: \[k_{D \rightarrow A};
