The photochemical cycloaddition of 1,3-cyclohexadiene (CHD) to ethylene and acetylene at pressures above 10 bar is described. Upon sensitized irradiation (2-acetylnaphthaline) CHD adds to ethylene at room temperature in dichloromethane to give cis-bicyclo[4,2,0]-oct-2-ene (1) along with dimers of cyclohexadiene. The yield of cross adduct increases with ethylene pressure (10-50 bar) whereas dimerisation decreases. Quantum yields of cross addition and dimerisation at 12 M ethylene were determined to be 0.31 and 0.35 respectively. At a pressure of 15 bar acetylene CHD reacts with acetylene to give bicyclo-[4,2,0]octa-2,7-diene (2) and bicyclo[2,2,2]octa-2,5-diene (3) as the major and minor products respectively. In a solvent mixture containing 60 vol-% CH2Cl2 and 40 vol-% acetone (2) is formed with a quantum yield of φ = 0.2. The experimental results are explained by a formal kinetic scheme.

Abstract The initial quantum yields of photoöxidation for purified Hevea rubber have been measured for various mercury arc lines in the wave length region 2537– 17,400 A˚. All experiments were carried out at room temperature and at an oxygen pressure of one atmosphere. At the outset of irradiation all quantum yields of combined oxygen are less than unity, although the quantum efficiency rises above 1.0 at 2537 and 3130 A˚. as photoöxidation proceeds. The low quantum yield suggests that in its initial stages (less than 0.1 per cent oxygen combined on the rubber) photoöxidation is not a chain reaction. It is postulated as the first step in rubber photoöxidation that the light activated rubber group reacts with oxygen to give a relatively stable intermediate which does not immediately dissociate to give a free radical reaction chain. The quantum yields of photoöxidation of purified GR-S were also measured under the same conditions as used for rubber. At each wave length the quantum yield was lower than for rubber, indicating formation of a stable intermediate in the initial reaction also.

The absolute quantum yields for exciplex fluorescence in four solutions which have potential as exciplex-based vapor/liquid visualization systems have been measured. The room-temperature absolute quantum yields for 10% dibutyl-aniline/0.4%, 1-cyanonaphthalene, 12.5% 1-methyl-naphthalene/0.5% N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl- p-phenylenediamine (TMPD), 10% trihexylamine/1.0% 1-cyanonaphthalene, and 10% naphthalene/1.0% TMPD in hexadecane or cyclohexane are 0.03 ± 0.005, 0.05 ± 0.002 (308 nm), 0.02 ± 0.001, and 0.16 ± 0.021, respectively. The temperature dependence of the absolute quantum yield for the 10% naphthalene/1% TMPD in the hexadecane system was measured over the range of 23 to 260°C and was found to decrease by 20–30% at 260°C.

The main products of the 185 nm photolysis of liquid methyl n-propyl ether (quantum yields in parentheses) are n-propanol (0.70), methane (0.29), sec-butyl methyl ether (0.20), methanol (0.16), propionaldehyde (0.13), 3,4-dimethoxyhexane (0.09), ethane (0.08), and ethyl n-propyl ether (0.08). The quantum yields of further 24 minor products have been measured. The quantum yield of the sum of primary photochemical processes, the main ones of which are the homolytic scissions of the C–O bonds (reactions i and ii), is close to unity.Reaction (i) is favoured over reaction (ii) by nearly a factor of five. The elimination of molecular methane (iii) is the only other process of importance. C–H and C–C bond splitting is marginal.

AbstractA sensitivity modulation method was employed to measure the fluorescence spectra and quantum yields of weakly fluorescent 2-substituted (NH2, O, OCH3, CI, Br) 3-methylquinoxalines in n-hexane and methanol at room temperature. A strong decrease in the quantum yield with increasing atomic weight of the substituents was observed in n-hexane. In polar solvents, the CI substituent is the strongest quencher although its atomic weight is 2.254 times smaller than that of Br

AbstractThe known ruthenium complex [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(Hmte)](PF6)2 ([1](PF6)2, where tpy = 2,2’:6’,2″-terpyridine, bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine, Hmte = 2-(methylthio)ethanol) is photosubstitutionally active but non-toxic to cancer cells even upon light irradiation. In this work, the two analogs complexes [Ru(tpy)(NN)(Hmte)](PF6)2, where NN = 3,3'-biisoquinoline (i-biq, [2](PF6)2) and di(isoquinolin-3-yl)amine (i-Hdiqa, [3](PF6)2), were synthesized and their photochemistry and phototoxicity evaluated to assess their suitability as photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) agents. The increase of the aromatic surface of [2](PF6)2 and [3](PF6)2, compared to [1](PF6)2, leads to higher lipophilicity and higher cellular uptake for the former complexes. Such improved uptake is directly correlated to the cytotoxicity of these compounds in the dark: while [2](PF6)2 and [3](PF6)2 showed low EC50 values in human cancer cells, [1](PF6)2 is not cytotoxic due to poor cellular uptake. While stable in the dark, all complexes substituted the protecting thioether ligand upon light irradiation (520 nm), with the highest photosubstitution quantum yield found for [3](PF6)2 (Φ[3] = 0.070). Compounds [2](PF6)2 and [3](PF6)2 were found both more cytotoxic after light activation than in the dark, with a photo index of 4. Considering the very low singlet oxygen quantum yields of these compounds, and the lack of cytotoxicity of the photoreleased Hmte thioether ligand, it can be concluded that the toxicity observed after light activation is due to the photoreleased aqua complexes [Ru(tpy)(NN)(OH2)]2+, and thus that [2](PF6)2 and [3](PF6)2 are promising PACT candidates.

The quantum yields for photolysis of 0.25 M solutions of bicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-3-one, 1,5-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-3-one, and tricyclo[4.3.1.0]decan-8-one in pentane or cyclohexane with 313 nm light are 0.44, 0.52, and 0.32, respectively.


Visual purple is soluble and stable in a mixture of glycerol and water (3:1). At room temperature the spectrum of such a solution is identical with that of the aqueous solution. At — 73° C the peak of the absorption curve is higher and narrower than at room temperature, and it is shifted towards longer waves. The product of photodecomposition at — 73° C has a spectrum in ­ dependent of pH and is at low temperatures thermostable and photostable, but at room temperature it decomposes therm ally to indicator yellow. The primary product appears to be identical with transient orange. The quantum yields of the photoreaction at low and at room temperature are of the same order.
