Experimental evidence is presented for a rapidly occurring intersystem crossing of the electronically excited dideuteroethylene molecules initially formed in the benzene-photosensitized reaction at 2 537 Å and 25 °C to another excited state which is responsible for the internal H-atom scrambling. The mechanism is entirely analogous to that previously postulated for the photoexcited states sensitized by Hg(3P1) atoms but the rate constants for intersystem crossing and molecular decomposition are drastically decreased as a result of the smaller amount of energy available for the excitation.

Time-resolved excited-state triplet-triplet absorption spectra were measured for solutions of 2,5 diphenyloxazole (PPO) in various solvents, with the use of a pump and probe technique. The rate constants for intersystem crossing, triplet deactivation by oxygen, and triplet-triplet self-quenching are obtained. The latter two rate constants are substantially larger than the corresponding rate constants for 2-(1 naphthyl)-5-phenyloxazole-αNPO.

Reverse intersystem crossing (RISC), the uphill spin-flip process from a triplet to a singlet excited state, plays a key role in a wide range of photochemical applications. Understanding and predicting the kinetics of such processes in vastly different molecular structures would facilitate the rational design of new materials. Here, we demonstrate a theoretical expression that successfully reproduces experimental RISC rate constants ranging over five orders of magnitude in twenty different molecules. We show that the spin flip occurs across the singlet–triplet crossing seam involving a higher-lying triplet excited state where the semi-classical Marcus parabola is no longer valid. The present model explains the counterintuitive substitution effects of bromine on the RISC rate constants of newly synthesized molecules, providing a predictive tool for material design.<br>

We describe a new family of catalysts that undergo direct ground state singlet to excited state triplet excitation with IR light, leading to photoredox catalysis without the energy waste associated with intersystem crossing. The finding allows a mole scale reaction in batch using infrared irradiation.

The fluorescence quenching of 2-aminodiphenylamine (2ADPA), 4-aminodiphenylamine (4ADPA) and 4,4'-diaminodiphenylamine (DADPA) with tetrachloromethane, chloroform and dichloromethane have been studied in hexane, dioxane, acetonitrile and methanol as solvents. The quenching rate constants for the process have also been obtained by measuring the lifetimes of the fluorophores. The quenching was found to be dynamic in all cases. For 2ADPA and 4ADPA, the quenching rate constants of CCl4 and CHCl3 depend on the viscosity, whereas in the case of CH2Cl2, kq depends on polarity. The quenching rate constants for DADPA with CCl4 are viscosity-dependent but the quenching with CHCl3 and CH2Cl2 depends on the polarity of the solvents. From the results, the quenching mechanism is explained by the formation of a non-emissive complex involving a charge-transfer interaction between the electronically excited fluorophores and ground-state chloromethanes.

AbstractThe dipole-bound excited state of the methylene nitrile anion (CH2CN−) has been suggested as a candidate carrier for a diffuse interstellar band (DIB) at 803.8 nm. Its corresponding radical has been detected in the interstellar medium (ISM), making the existence for the anion possible. This work applies state-of-the-art ab initio methods such as coupled cluster theory to reproduce accurately the electronic excitations for CH2CN− and the similar methylene enolate anion, CH2CHO−. This same approach has been employed to indicate that 19 other anions may possess electronically excited states, five of which are valence in nature. Concurrently, in order to assist in the detection of these anions in the ISM, work has also been directed towards predicting vibrational frequencies and spectroscopic constants for these anions through the use of quartic force fields (QFFs). Theoretical rovibrational work on anions has thus far included studies of CH2CN−, C3H−, and is currently ongoing for similar systems.

Cyclooctatetraene (COT) as a quencher of fluorescence of a series of Rhodamine solutions was studied. The second order rate constants for the quenching process of Rhodamine 110, Rhodamine 19 pchl., Rhodamine 6G pchl., Rhodamine 6G, Tetramethylrhodamine, Rhodamine B and Rhodamine 3B pchl. are given. It was found that COT enhances rather intersystem crossing than internal conversion.
