The esr and CIDEP results show that the photoreduction of chromones and chromanones by phenol and by triethylamine proceeds via a spin polarized T(n,π*) triplet state which abstracts a hydrogen atom from the donor. Both chromone and chromanone are found to be reactive to the addition of organometallic radicals to form some radical adducts, including organotin, organosilicon, and organogermane.

Abstract. There is chromophore dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the atmosphere, which may form triplet-state chromophoric dissolved organic matter (3CDOM*) to further driving the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under solar illumination. 3CDOM* contributes significantly to aerosol photochemistry and plays an important role in aerosol aging. We quantify the ability to form 3CDOM* and drive the formation of ROS by primary, secondary and ambient aerosols. Biomass combustion has the strongest 3CDOM* generation capacity and the weakest vehicle emission capacity. Ambient aerosol has a stronger ability to generate 3CDOM* in winter than in summer. Most of the triplet states generation conform to first-order reaction, but some of them do not due to the different quenching mechanism. The structural-activity relationship between the CDOM type and the 3CDOM* formation capacity shows that the two types of CDOM identified, which similar to the nitrogen-containing chromophores contributed 88 % to the formation of 3CDOM*. The estimated formation rate of 3CDOM* can reach ~ 100 μmol m−3 h−1 in the atmosphere in Xi'an, China, which is approximately one hundred thousand-times the hydroxyl radical (•OH) production. This study verified that 3CDOM* drives at least 30 % of the singlet oxygen (1O2) and 31 % of the •OH formed by aerosols using the spin trapping and electron paramagnetic resonance technique.

Abstract An investigation of the photoexcited triplet state of chlorophyll (Chl) a in the water-soluble chlorophyll protein (WSCP) of Brassica oleracea has been carried out by means of electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), achieving a complete assignment of the observed hyperfine couplings corresponding to methine protons and methyl groups of Chl a triplet state. The triplet-state properties, and in particular the hyperfine couplings, were found to be similar to those previously reported for Chl a in the WSCP of Lepidium virginicum. Therefore, the porphyrin ring deformation observed in Brassica oleracea WSCP seems to only slightly affect the spin density of 3Chl a. This may be relevant when considering the robustness of triplet–triplet energy transfer mechanisms, relying on wavefunction overlap, in systems, such as the photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes, in which Chl triplet states with distorted geometries are involved.

Selection Rules

Naphthalene, which is excited into the lowest triplet state by unpolarized UV-Iight shows a strong deviation from the Boltzman distribution within the three magnetic sublevels, which is ob­served by ESR. We call this deviation optical spin polarization. In the mixed crystal C10D8: 0.2% C10H8 , where the undeuterated Naphthalene acts as trap at 4.2 °K, the optical spin polarization exceeds the thermal spin polarization such that a steady state inversion between two of the mag­netic sublevels appears. This results in an emissive ESR-transition (stimulated emission of micro- waves). The time dependence of the spin polarization after switching on or off the UV-light is described by a superposition of two exponential functions with different rate constants. - The optical spin polarization is due to spin selection rules for the intersystem crossing process (ISC). These involve primarily the molecular symmetry. - The experimental results of the present paper are these selection rules for the pumping processes: The metastable triplet state is populated via the spin component τx.The depopulation rate constants of the three spin components τx, τv and τz are kx = 0.65 sec-1, ky=0.4 sec-1 and kz=O.15 sec-1 .The spin lattice relaxation probabilities are of the order of 1 sec-1. The latter are dependent on the direction of the magnetic field and on the concentration of the populated triplet states. - These results are compared with a theory of ISC.

Extinction Coefficients

Quantum yields of triplet state formation and extinction coefficients of the triplet states have been determined by direct depletion methods for solutions of anthracene, phenanthrene, 1,2,5,6-dibenzanthracene, fluorescein, dibromofluorescein, eosin and erythrosin. The values obtained for the hydrocarbons are in reasonable agreement with those obtained by other workers using energy transfer and heavy atom perturbation techniques. In all cases which we have studied, the sum of the quantum yields of fluorescence and triplet state formation is equal to unity within the limits of experimental error, showing that radiationless transfer from the excited singlet to the ground state is negligible.
