H2O2-activatable TTA upconversion was achieved with non-fluorescent 9,10-bis(diphenylphosphino)anthracene as a triplet acceptor/emitter, which can be oxidized to a fluorescent product by H2O2.

Mechanisms of the photosensitized cis–trans photoisomerization of 3-penten-2-one which do not imply only classical triplet–triplet energy transfer are proposed; they are based upon measurements of the variations of initial quantum yields of isomerization with the initial donor and acceptor concentrations, the wavelength of excitation, and the nature of the donor and of the solvent. Carbonyl donors (acetophenone, benzophenone, acetone) induce a radical isomerization by a chain process in reducing solvents; the example of acetophenone is specially interesting. In solvents in which the donor is not photoreduced (as benzene or CCl4) classical triplet–triplet energy transfers occur. Sensitization with aromatic donors (benzene, mesitylene) proceeds through triplet–triplet energy transfer at low concentrations of the acceptor. At higher concentrations of acceptor, an exciplex is formed between the ketone and the aromatic in its singlet excited state; this exciplex is deactivated by dissociation and by causing the isomerization of the α,β-unsaturated ketone.

P-tvpe Delayed Fluorescence o f 1-Naphthyl-9-carbazyl-methane At 77 K 1-naphthyl-9-carbazyl-methane adsorbed on filter paper shows predominantly delayed fluorescence o f the carbazole chromophore. The experimental findings are in agreement with the assumption that the carbazole chromophore after excitation by light absorption becomes first deactivated by intramolecular triplet-triplet energy transfer and then re-excited in a two-step mechanism including intermolecular naphthalene triplet-triplet annihilation and intramolecular singlet-singlet energy transfer from the naphthalene to the carbazole chromophore.

<p>Green-to-blue photon upconversion bears great potential in photocatalytic applications. However, current hybrid inorganic-organic upconversion schemes utilizing spherical CdSe nanocrystals are often limited by energetic polydispersity, low quantum yields and an additional tunneling barrier resulting from the necessity of surface-passivating inorganic shells. In this contribution, we introduce anisotropic CdSe nanoplatelets as triplet sensitizers. Here, quantum confinement occurs in only one direction, erasing effects stemming from energetic polydispersity. We investigate the triplet energy transfer from the CdSe nanoplatelets to the surface-bound triplet acceptor 9-anthracene carboxylic acid. We further focus on the influence of nanoplatelet stacking and singlet back transfer on the observed upconversion efficiency. We obtain an upconversion quantum yield of 5.4% at a power density of 11 W/cm<sup>2­</sup> using the annihilator 9,10-diphenylanthracene, and a low efficiency threshold <i>I</i><sub>th</sub> of 237 mW/cm<sup>2</sup>. </p>
