Anaerobic red-light illumination leads to reduction of perfluoroisopropyl-substituted zinc(ii) phthalocyanine in ethanol, while low power UV illumination favours the formation of a triplet excited state.

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.

We present a spectroscopic investigation on the effect of changing the position where carbazole is attached to biphenyl in carbazolebiphenyl (CBP) on the triplet state energies and the propensity to excimer formation. For this, two CBP derivatives have been prepared with the carbazole moieties attached at the ( para ) 4- and 4 ′ -positions ( p CBP) and at the ( meta ) 3- and 3 ′ -positions ( m CBP) of the biphenyls. These compounds are compared to analogous m CDBP and p CDBP, i.e. two highly twisted carbazoledimethylbiphenyls, which have a high triplet energy at about 3.0 eV and tend to form triplet excimers in a neat film. This torsion in the structure is associated with localization of the excited state onto the carbazole moieties. We find that in m CBP and p CBP, excimer formation is prevented by localization of the triplet excited state onto the central moiety. As conjugation can continue from the central biphenyls into the nitrogen of the carbazole in the para -connected p CBP, emission involves mainly the benzidine. By contrast, the meta -linkage in m CBP limits conjugation to the central biphenyl. The associated shorter conjugation length is the reason for the higher triplet energy of 2.8 eV in m CBP compared with the 2.65 eV in p CBP.

The transient produced on flash excitation of degassed solutions of thymine in acetonitrile has been characterized as the triplet excited state of thymine. This triplet state has a lifetime of 14 ± 1 μs and the associated dimerization rate was found to be 5.3 ± 0.3 × 108 M−1 s−1. The triplet state of thymine could be quenched by 2,4-hexadien-1-ol with a rate constant of 8.1 ± 0.6 × 109 M−1 s−1.
