Due to the efficient intersystem crossing (ISC), combined with efficient non-radiative processes of the triplet excited state, oligothiophenes generally exhibit very weak photoluminescence. Phosphorus (P)-bridged terthiophenes (P-terThs) and phosphorus (P)-bridged...

The mechanism of the photochemical cycloaddition reaction between N-benzoylindole, 1, and cyclopentene to give cyclobutane adducts 2 and 3 has been examined. The triplet excited state lifetime and quantum yield of intersystem crossing were determined for 1 as (2.8 ± 0.3) × 10−8 s and 0.39 ± 0.01, respectively, using the triplet counting procedure. In addition, the dependence of the quantum yield of cycloadduct formation upon the concentration of cyclopentene and upon the concentration of excited state quenchers has been determined. The results are used to propose a mechanistic model in which the triplet excited state of 1 reacts with cyclopentene to give a triplet 1,4-biradical intermediate. Following spin inversion the biradical intermediate reverts to the ground state starting materials or proceeds to the products 2 and 3; this partitioning, along with the quantum yield of intersystem crossing, gives rise to a limiting quantum yield of cycloaddition at infinite alkene concentration of 0.061. It is calculated that 84% of the biradical intermediates revert to the starting materials and 16% proceed to cycloadducts. The quantum yield data are also used to calculate two independent values of the rate constant for reaction of the triplet excited 1 with alkene; the values are (1.8 ± 0.1) × 107M−1 s−1 and (4.0 ± 0.8) × 106 M−1 s−1'. Some evidence for self quenching of the triplet excited state of 1 by ground state 1 was also observed. The quantum yield of intersystem crossing and the triplet excited state lifetime of 1 were found to vary with the solvent used; this is discussed in terms of the possible existence of a charge transfer triplet excited state. Keywords: indole, photocycloaddition, mechanism.

Quantum yields of dechlorination and of intersystem crossing have been measured in cyclohexane for a series of chlorinated benzenes. The results are compatible with the reactions occurring predominantly from the triplet excited state. The quantum yield of reaction shows a concentration dependence on [Formula: see text], but the dependence is less for the more heavily chlorinated members of the scries.

The efficiency of the intersystem crossing process can be improved by reducing the energy gap between the singlet and triplet excited states (ΔEST), which offers the opportunity to improve the yield of the triplet excited state.
