Experimental Findings

An attempt has been made to experimentally locate the triplet state of borazine. Borazine vapor was added to benzene vapor excited at 2580 Å. Borazine vapor has no effect on the first excited singlet state of benzene but does strongly quench the triplet state. A comparison of the experimental findings with theoretical predictions has been carried out.

Increasing Temperature

Ketene has been photolyzed at 3660 and 3130 Å both alone and in the presence of the inert gases C4F8 and SF6. The quantum yield of carbon monoxide has been determined at both wavelengths as a function of pressure and temperature. At 3660 Å the quantum yield decreases with increasing pressure but increases with increasing temperature. At 3130 Å the quantum yield with ketene alone remains 2.0 at both 37 and 100 °C at pressures up to 250 mm. At higher pressures of ketene or with added inert gas the quantum yield decreases with increasing pressure. The results are interpreted in terms of a mechanism in which intersystem crossing from the excited singlet state to the triplet state occurs at both wavelengths, and collisional deactivation of the excited singlet state by ketene is single stage at 3660 Å but multistage at 3130 Å.

Excited Singlet

Studies on the electron transfer in the excited state from electron donors: acridine, 9- aminoacridine and its derivatives, including nitracrine and its isomers, to CCl4 as a suitable electron acceptor, were undertaken. UV radiation (λ= 366 nm), absorbed only by acridine bases, generates CI- ions. The fluorescence quenching measurements indicate that no interaction appears between molecules of acridine bases in the excited singlet state and CCl4 molecule. A scheme of photochemical processes is proposed which assumes that the triplet state of the base molecule is the reactive one.

Violation of Hund's multiplicity rule in the electronically excited states of conjugated hydrocarbons is studied by using the Pariser–Parr–Pople type SCF MO method and the abinitio MO method with STO-3G basis set, both methods being augmented by CI-type treatments. It is shown that for symmetrical structures (D2h) of the nonalternant hydrocarbons, propalene, pentalene, and heptalene, the lowest excited singlet state is energetically lower than the corresponding triplet state. This is mainly due to the spin polarization (SP) effects. For D2h, structures of pentalene and heptalene the open-shell excited singlet state is predicted to be lower in energy than the closed-shell state, with the result that the former is really the ground state. Further, calculations made by including electron correlation effects reveal that in linear polyenes and polyacenes, the lowest excited singlet "minus" state (using Pariser's classification of the alternancy symmetry species) is lower in energy than the corresponding triplet state. The energy lowering of the singlet "minus" state in linear polyenes is due mostly to the mixing with the doubly excited configurations (mm → nn), while the considerable part of it in polyacenes is due to the SP effects.

Photophysics of hexaazatrinaphthylene (HATN) in solution and in the solid state is determined by the nπ* character of its lowest excited singlet state and by the ππ* character of the first triplet state, and changes upon aggregation.

The contribution to naphthalene and pyrene triplet state formation of intersystem crossing from the excited singlet state has been determined for both cyclohexane and benzene solutions using the singlet state quenchers nitromethane and xenon. In agreement with the conclusions reported in part II, intersystem crossing plays an important role; under certain conditions up to 50 % of the total triplet yield in naphthalene-cyclohexane solutions has this origin. The extinction coefficient for naphthalene triplet absorption in cyclohexane at λ max = 412.5 nm is 20 000 ± 5000 1 mol -1 cm -1 .

Using vis absorption, fluorescence spectral experimental data, and time-resolved measurement, we have examined the kinetics of Zinc(II)-2,9,16,23-phthalocyanine tetracarboxylate ( ZnPc ( COONa )4), which is interesting photosensitizer of far red-absorption in water: NaOH solution. The kinetic parameters were measured and/or calculated. The photophysical properties originate principally from the planar macrocycle while the outer substituent and degree of carboxylation seem not to have a considerable influence on the kinetic parameters. The nonradiative rate constants of the first excited state were dominant due to the heavy metal effect. Using the obtained photophysical parameters, the population dynamics were calculated by kinetic model. On nanosecond scale of 15 ns, about 63% population of the first excited-singlet state is retrieved by the ground state. Whereas, the rest of population are deactivated to the first excited-triplet state. Later on, during about 7 μs starting from the initial decay of the first excited singlet state, the first excited singlet state and the first excited triplet state were completely empty, meanwhile the ground state retrieved its initial population. Due to the fact that ZnPc ( COONa )4 has strong absorption, long lifetimes of the first singlet and triplet excited states, and fast intersystem crossing, it may be suitable for nonlinear optical studies.
