چکیده
In this paper we report on spin-orbit coupling induced mag netokinetic effects on the free radical yield of triplet elec tron transfer reactions. From the magnetic field dependence ob served in a variety of mixed solvents the solvent dependent dy namics of short-lived triplet exciplexes is quantitatively de duced.

Spin-Orbit Coupling Induced Magnetlc Field Effects in Electron-Transfer Reactions with Excited Triplets: The Role of Triplet Excipiexes and Radical Pairs In Geminate Recombination
The magnetic field dependence of free-radical yield in the electron-transfer quenching of methylene blue triplet by picdoaniline has been determined between 0.00 and 3.30 T in methanol/ethylene glycol mixtures of various viscosities by using laser flash spectroscopy and a photostationary flow technique. The observed decrease of the free-radical yield with the magnetic field is interpreted by he...

Intramicellar radical pair formation and recombination kinetics in the electron transfer quenching of the thionine triplet by aniline and various monohalogenated anilines have been studied by microsecond and nanosecond laser flash spectroscopy in reversed micellar solution of COBA in benzene. Clear kinetic evidence of the micellar cage effect is provided by a comparative spectro-kinetical study...
متن کاملExciplex mechanism of the fluorescence quenching in polar media
The formation of exciplexes ( non-emitting or poorly emitting ) is proposed as a cause of the deviations of the experimental data from the classical model of excited state electron transfer in polar solvents yielding radical ion pairs. Experimental evidences for the formation of such exciplexes are discussed. Simulation of the dependencies of the quenching rate constant vs. Gibbs energy of elec...
متن کاملTime-Resolved Magnetic Field Effects Distinguish Loose Ion Pairs from Exciplexes
We describe the experimental investigation of time-resolved magnetic field effects in exciplex-forming organic donor-acceptor systems. In these systems, the photoexcited acceptor state is predominantly deactivated by bimolecular electron transfer reactions (yielding radical ion pairs) or by direct exciplex formation. The delayed fluorescence emitted by the exciplex is magnetosensitive if the re...

Spin-dependent intramolecular electron transfer is revealed in the ReI(CO)3(py)(bpy-Ph)-perylenediimide radical anion (ReI-bpy-PDI-•) dyad, a prototype model system for artificial photosynthesis. Quantum chemical calculations and ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy experiments demonstrate that selective photoexcitation of ReI-bpy results in electron transfer from PDI-• to ReI-bpy, formi...
