We studied the effect of deuteration on the radiative decay of the triplet sublevels of naphthalene and some halogenated derivatives. We found that the influence of deuteration is much more pronounced in the heavy atom substituted than in the parent hydrocarbons. The strongest change upon deuteration is in the radiative decay of the out-of-plane polarized spin state T
