Fluorescence and phosphorescence are observed when 2,3-pentanedione in the gaseous state is excited at 365, 405, and 436°nm. The phosphorescence lifetime has been investigated as a function of temperature (298 to 363 °K) and concentration of the diketone (0.5 to 90 × 10−4 M). A mechanism that explains the experimental data is proposed. Apart from the radiative process and an intersystem crossing to the ground state, the triplet state 2,3-pentanedione molecules are removed by two other processes. One is a unimolecular reaction with a rate constant of 1 × 1011 exp (−11.0/RT) s−1 (consistent with an intramolecular hydrogen atom abstraction), and the other is an interaction with ground state molecules. The photochemistry of the triplet state of 2,3-pentanedione is compared with that of biacetyl to consider the effect of substitution of a hydrogen atom by the methyl group on the radiationless processes in diketones.

The photolysis of SO2 at 3130 Å and 25 °C in the presence of C2H2 leads to CO, and, in the presence of allene to CO and C2H4 as gas phase products. In the C2H2 system, the CO comes from the two non-emitting triplet states of SO2, 57% from SO2** and 43% from SO2≠. In the allene system, the two excited singlet states of SO2, and possibly the emitting triplet state, also participate. The relative importance of the contributions from each state can be estimated to be >35% from 1SO2, <16% from 3SO2, 8% from SO2*, 12% from SO2**, and 29% from SO2≠.

Vibrationally excited singlet and triplet states of 2,3-pentanedione are formed by photolysis at 365 nm. The processes removing these excited states in the gas phase are studied by measuring the fluorescence and phosphorescence yields. Fluorescence can occur from the vibrationally excited, as well as the vibrationally equilibrated, singlet state. The fluorescence and phosphorescence data are considered in terms of mechanisms which involve either weak or strong collisions. Although the data cannot distinguish between the alternatives, there are two significant conclusions. The fluorescence data require that emission occur from at least two levels in the singlet manifold. To explain the phosphorescence data, the highest emitting singlet level must not lead to a vibrationally equilibrated triplet state.
