The quenching of triplet acetone in degassed acetonitrile solution by electron-rich and electron-deficient olefins has been measured by flash emission technique. With the exception of fumaronitrile, the efficiency of quenching of triplet ketones by olefins is not determined by the triplet energy of the ketone, but by the ability of the excited ketone to donate or accept electrons. The results are consistent with the assumption that back dissociation of the triplet exciplex is an important process in the overall reaction and accounts for quenching rate constants which are less than those for diffusion-controlled reactions. Lifetimes and binding energies of the triplet exciplexes have been estimated.

Bis(acetylacetonato)copper(II), Cu(acac)2, quenches triplet excited states of ketones and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons efficiently, but only aromatic ketones with high triplet energy successfully sensitize photoreduction of Cu(acac)2 in alcohols under nitrogen to give derivatives of aeetylacetonatocopper(I), Cu(acac). For the triplet state benzophenone-sensitized photoreduction of Cu(acac)2, the quantum yields of photoreduction (ΦC) and those of benzophenone disappearance (ΦB) were determined in methanol with various concentrations of Cu(acac)2. The values of the quenching rate constant, kq, determined from these two types of monitors on the basis of the proposed mechanism were in good agreement (6.89 ~ 7.35 × 109 M−1 s−1). This value was higher, by a factor of about two, than that obtained from the monitor of the benzophenone triplet decay rates generated by flash photolysis in the presence of Cu(acac)2. The quenching rate constants of various aromatic ketone and hydrocarbon triplet states by Cu(acac)2 were determined by flash photolysis to be in the order of the diffusion rate constant and the quantum yields of these photoreductions were found to be far from unity. Paramagnetic quenching, with contributions of electron exchange and charge transfer, was proposed as a possible quenching mechanism. For a series of aromatic ketone sensitizers with higher triplet energy, this mechanism was used to rationalize the observed high quenching rate constants in contrast to the low quantum yields of photoreduction.

Free radicals react more readily with [1.1.1]propellane, 1, than with styrene. For example Et3Si· reacts with 1 and styrene with rate constants of 6 × 108 M-1 s-1 and 2 × 108 M-1 s-1, respectively. Fluorenone, phenanthrene, triphenylene, benzophenone, and pyrene transfer electronic energy to 1 with rate constants well below the diffusion-controlled limit. For example, triplet benzophenone is quenched by 1 with a bimolecular rate constant of 9.9 × 106 M-1 s-1. A linear dependence of the log of the quenching rate constants, log kq, upon the excited-state energy of the donors is found.Key words: propellane, laser flash photolysis, free radicals, triplet states.

The pulsed laser photolysis at 308 nm of the benzophenone-triethylamine system in acetonitrile solution has been studied at room temperature. In the absence of triethylamine, phosphorescence emission of triplet benzophenone centred at 460 nm and with a lifetime of τ = 27 ± 1 μs is observed. Addition of triethylamine results in quenching of the benzophenone phosphorescence. Quenching rate constants KQ have been determined from emission intensifies and from experimental decay rate constants. The values KQ = (2.6 ± 0.3) × 109 M-1s-1 and KQ = (4.0 ± 0.5) × 109 M-1s-1, respectively, are obtained. On the addition of triethylamine, benzophenone phosphorescence diminishes and simultaneously a new emission with a fast decay rate and centred at 575 nm develops. This signal has been identified as emission from the excited benzophenone ketyl radical. A single pulse two-photon absorption mechanism responsible of the emission at 575 nm has been identified and a kinetic model based on this mechanism has been developed. The model gives a satisfactory quantitative account of both our experimental results and those reported in the literature (quantum yield of radical formation and behaviour of the system as photoinitiator).

The rate constants for quenching of triplet acetone by a series of halobenzenes have been determined by flash emission technique. Quenching was found to be approximately a hundred times faster than that for triplet benzophenone. For both triplet ketones, quenching did not decrease with the increase in triplet energy difference between ketone and quencher (as expected for normal endothermic triplet energy transfer) and did not correlate with the i.p. of all of the quenchers studied. All of the qualitative features of the quenching results can be simply interpreted in terms of enhanced coupling of the locally excited triplet ketone and quencher states as a result of interaction with the charge transfer state.

The fluorescence quenching of 2-aminodiphenylamine (2ADPA), 4-aminodiphenylamine (4ADPA) and 4,4'-diaminodiphenylamine (DADPA) with tetrachloromethane, chloroform and dichloromethane have been studied in hexane, dioxane, acetonitrile and methanol as solvents. The quenching rate constants for the process have also been obtained by measuring the lifetimes of the fluorophores. The quenching was found to be dynamic in all cases. For 2ADPA and 4ADPA, the quenching rate constants of CCl4 and CHCl3 depend on the viscosity, whereas in the case of CH2Cl2, kq depends on polarity. The quenching rate constants for DADPA with CCl4 are viscosity-dependent but the quenching with CHCl3 and CH2Cl2 depends on the polarity of the solvents. From the results, the quenching mechanism is explained by the formation of a non-emissive complex involving a charge-transfer interaction between the electronically excited fluorophores and ground-state chloromethanes.

A new complex (Ru(η6-p-cymene)(5-ASA)Cl2) (1) where 5-ASA is 5-aminosalicylic acid has been prepared by reacting the ruthenium arene precursors ((η6-arene)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl)2, with the 5-ASA ligands in a 1:1 ratio. Full characterization of complex 1 was accomplished by elemental analysis, IR, and TGA following the structure obtained from a single-crystal X-ray pattern. The structural analysis revealed that complex 1 shows a “piano-stool” geometry with Ru-C (2.160(5)- 2.208(5)Å), Ru-N (2.159(4) Å) distances, which is similar to equivalents sister complex. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to calculate the significant molecular orbital energy levels, binding energies, bond angles, bond lengths, and spectral data (FTIR, NMR, and UV–VIS) of complex 1, consistent with the experimental results. The IR and UV–VIS spectra of complex 1 were computed using all of the methods and choose the most appropriate way to discuss. Hirshfeld surface analysis was also executed to understand the role of weak interactions such as H⋯H, C⋯H, C-H⋯π, and vdW interactions, which play a significant role in the crystal environment’s stability. Moreover, the luminescence results at room temperature show that complex 1 gives a more intense emission band positioned at 465 nm upon excitation at 330 nm makes it a suitable candidate for the building of photoluminescent material.

AbstractSynthesis of bismuth oxide synthesis through the precipitation method using H2C2O4 and Na2CO3 precipitating agents, identification of physicochemical properties and its photocatalysis activity for methyl orange degradation were conducted. The bismuth oxide synthesis was undertaken by dissolving Bi(NO3)3.5H2O in HNO3, then added precipitating agents to form precipitate. The results showed that bismuth oxide produced by H2C2O4 precipitating agent was a yellow powder containing a mixture of α-Bi2O3 (monoclinic) and β-Bi2O3 (tetragonal), porous with size of 28-85 μm. Meanwhile, the use of Na2CO3 as precipitating agent resulted in bismuth oxide consisting of α-Bi2O3 and β-Bi2O3 and Bi2O4, irregular shape without pore being 40-115 μm in size. Bismuth oxide synthesized with H2C2O4 precipitating agent showed higher photocatalytic activity compared to bismuth oxide synthesized using Na2CO3 on degrading methyl orange dye with degradation rate constants of 2.35x10-5 s-1 for H2C2O4 and 1.81x10-5 s-1 for Na2CO3.
