The electron-transfer photochemistry of rhodamine 6G thiocyanate ion pairs has been investigated. For dye in a low polarity solvent, such as ethyl acetate, the emission of rhodamine 6G is significantly quenched by thiocyanate counterions. Laser photolysis of rhodamine 6G and thiocyanate in ethyl acetate was studied in detail with the identification of the reduced rhodamine 6G radical species (λmax = 410 nm). The growth and decay of the R6G radical could be accounted for in part by a mechanism involving initial formation of dye triplet followed by electron transfer which provides a triplet radical-pair state on a µs timescale.Key words: electron transfer, ion pair, rhodamine 6G, triplet state.

In an especially designed and sealed glass apparatus, a combination of UV/VIS and ESR spectroscopy measurements are performed to follow electron transfer reactions in aprotic (cH⊕ < 0,1 ppm) solution. For the sodium metal reductions of the tetracyano-substituted title compounds, the novel technique provides the following detailed information: 1,2,4,5- tetracyanobenzene is uniformly reduced to its radical anion, for which additional geometryoptimized MNDO calculations predict an already significant cyanine disortion. For 7,7,8,8- tetracyano-p-quinodimethane, UV/VIS band shape analysis allows to detect in the saturated THF reduction solution the 16300 cm-1 absorption of the donor/acceptor complex formed in the equilibrium TCNQ·⊖ + TCNQ ⇆ {TCNQ·⊖···TCNQ}, which according to a literature search has been crystallized and structurally characterized in paramagnetic salts such as [Me2⊕ (TCNQ·⊖)2(TCNQ)].
