An investigation has been made into the effect of inert gas additions on product quantum yields for the photolysis at 2800 and 2490 Å of mixtures of ketene and oxygen and for the photolysis at 2800 Å of mixtures of ketene and carbon monoxide. Concentration ratios of O2 (or CO) to CH2CO were chosen so that the reaction of CH2(3Σg−) with CH2CO could be ignored and C2H4 formation could be attributed entirely to the reaction[Formula: see text]Quenching of the C2H4 quantum yield by inert gases was interpreted in terms of collisional deactivation of CH2(1A1) to the ground state[Formula: see text]and rate constant ratios k2/k1 have been determined for a number of gases: He (0.018), Ar (0.014), Kr (0.033), Xe (0.074), N2 (0.052), N2O (0.10), CF4 (0.047), C2F6 (0.11), and SF6 (0.045). It has been assumed that collision-induced intersystem crossover in excited singlet ketene makes an insignificant contribution to the observed quenching effects, but it has not been possible to verify this assumption experimentally. The mechanism of collision-induced electronic relaxation of singlet methylene is discussed in the light of the results.

The direct and photosensitized photolysis of six methylated-1-pyrazolines is described. Examination of the products suggests that direct photolysis leads to an excited singlet trimethylene, whereas a triplet is produced on benzophenone photosensitization. The trimethylene produced from 4 and 5 is related to the intermediates produced on addition of triplet methylenes to cis- and trans-2-butene. Evidence is presented to support the claim that no intermediate is involved in the addition of singlet methylene to cis-and trans-2-butene.
