The mechanism of the photochemical cycloaddition reaction between N-benzoylindole, 1, and cyclopentene to give cyclobutane adducts 2 and 3 has been examined. The triplet excited state lifetime and quantum yield of intersystem crossing were determined for 1 as (2.8 ± 0.3) × 10−8 s and 0.39 ± 0.01, respectively, using the triplet counting procedure. In addition, the dependence of the quantum yield of cycloadduct formation upon the concentration of cyclopentene and upon the concentration of excited state quenchers has been determined. The results are used to propose a mechanistic model in which the triplet excited state of 1 reacts with cyclopentene to give a triplet 1,4-biradical intermediate. Following spin inversion the biradical intermediate reverts to the ground state starting materials or proceeds to the products 2 and 3; this partitioning, along with the quantum yield of intersystem crossing, gives rise to a limiting quantum yield of cycloaddition at infinite alkene concentration of 0.061. It is calculated that 84% of the biradical intermediates revert to the starting materials and 16% proceed to cycloadducts. The quantum yield data are also used to calculate two independent values of the rate constant for reaction of the triplet excited 1 with alkene; the values are (1.8 ± 0.1) × 107M−1 s−1 and (4.0 ± 0.8) × 106 M−1 s−1'. Some evidence for self quenching of the triplet excited state of 1 by ground state 1 was also observed. The quantum yield of intersystem crossing and the triplet excited state lifetime of 1 were found to vary with the solvent used; this is discussed in terms of the possible existence of a charge transfer triplet excited state. Keywords: indole, photocycloaddition, mechanism.

Adjacent binaphthalo-phthalocyanines tetra-substituted with phenoxy (4a), 4-carboxyphenoxy (4b) and 4-t-butylphenoxy (4c) groups, as well as the di-substituted 4-carboxyphenoxy (5b) have been synthesized and characterized. The photophysical and photochemical behavior of 4a-c, were compared with those of the corresponding di-substituted derivatives, (5a-c). The secondary substituents on the phenoxy ring have an influence on the aggregation of the molecules and hence on their photophysical properties. All of the complexes exhibit a relatively good conversion of energy from the triplet-excited state to the singlet oxygen. The less aggregated molecule (4c), has the highest singlet oxygen quantum yield. For all the molecules, fluorescence yields are low and they all have relatively shorter triplet lifetimes compared with the unsubstituted zinc phthalocyanine. Increasing the number of ring substituents on these rigid MPc complexes (from complexes 5 to 4) showed a general increase in the triplet state lifetimes and singlet oxygen quantum yields, and a decrease in stability.
