Physical Triplet Quenching by Electron Donors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Absolute radical yields, as determined by flash spectroscopy, are reported for the reaction of the thionine triplet 3TH+ and its protonated form 3TH2++ with a variety of electron donors in methanolic solution. The different yields, extrapolated to infinite donor concentrations, are due to partial physical quenching of the triplets in the electron transfer reaction. The results are indicative of a triplet exciplex as an intermediate in the electron transfer reaction.

Charge Transfer Interactions in the Generation of Singlet Oxygen O2(∆g) by Strong Electron Donors
The quenching rate constant of the triplet state by molecular oxygen and the efficiency of singlet oxygen generation have been measured for 12 amines in cyclohexane and benzene. For the best electron donors, the average rate constant for quenching by energy transfer is 6.0 × 109 M-1 s-1. For the same compounds, the rate constant of quenching via enchancement of internal conversion is 1.2 × 1010...

متن کاملTriplet exciton diffusion and phosphorescence quenching in iridium(III)-centered dendrimers.
A study of triplet-triplet exciton annihilation and nonradiative decay in films of iridium(III)-centered phosphorescent dendrimers is reported. The average separation of the chromophore was tuned by the molecular structure and also by blending with a host material. It was found that triplet exciton hopping is controlled by electron exchange interactions and can be over 600 times faster than pho...

Alkoxy-bridged rhenium(I) rectangles [{(CO)(3)Re(mu-OR)(2)Re(CO)(3)}(2)(mu-bpy)(2)] (1, R = C(4)H(9); 2, R = C(8)H(17); 3, R = C(12)H(25); bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine) comprising long alkyl chains form optically transparent aggregates and exhibit luminescence enhancement in the presence of water. The aggregation of Re(I)-rectangle was followed using a light-scattering technique. Presumably, the enhan...

The photoinduced electron transfer between either cationic 5,50-dichloro-3,30,9-triethylthiacarbocyanine (1) or a structurally similar anionic dye (2) and appropriate donors, e.g. ascorbic acid, and acceptors, e.g. methyl viologen, was studied by ns-laser photolysis. In aqueous solution the dyes in the ground state are present as an equilibrated mixture of dimers and monomers, whereas the tripl...
