The triplet excited state of the 9-phenylxanthenium cation has been observed directly by both luminescence and transient absorption techniques. The triplet–triplet absorption shows λmax ≤ 300 nm and decays over a period of several microseconds in the absence of easily oxidized donors. The triplet cation reacts with 9-phenylxanthydrol and biphenyl via electron transfer to give the corresponding radical and radical cation and also reacts rapidly with both oxygen and 1,3-cyclohexadiene. Keywords: carbocations, triplets, electron transfer, laser flash photolysis.

Laser flash photolysis of 2-methyl-1-phenylbut-3-en-1-one (1) conducted at irradiation wavelengths of 266 and 308 nm results in the formation of triplet 1,2-biradical 2 that has λmax at 370 and 480 nm. Biradical 2 is formed with a rate constant of 1.1 × 107 s–1 and decays with a rate constant of 2.3 × 105 s–1. Isoprene-quenching studies support the notion that biradical 2 is formed by energy transfer from the triplet-excited state of the ketone chromophore of 1. Density functional theory calculations were used to verify the characterization of triplet biradical 2 and validate the mechanism for its formation. Thus, it has been demonstrated that intramolecular sensitization of simple alkenes can be used to form triplet 1,2-biradicals with the two radical centres localized on the adjacent carbon atoms.
