Characterization of the triplet state of aromatic esters and nitriles. Evaluation of the steric effect on the triplet of methyl mesitoate
Keyword(s):
The phosphorescence emission and electron spin resonance spectra of methyl mesitoate (1) and mesitonitrile (2) have been studied in order to assess the steric effect (inhibition of resonance) in the former. The triplet energy of 1 (80.5 kcal mol−1) is considerably higher than that of 2 (74.2 kcal mol−1) while the zero-field splitting parameters are very similar (1, D/hc = 0.127 cm−1, E/hc = 0.013 cm−1; 2, D/hc = 0.127 cm−1, E/hc = 0.006 cm−1). The triplet energy and zero-field splitting parameters of o-, m-, and p-methyl toluate and o-, m-, and p-tolunitrile are also reported.
