Photoconductivity of a series of perylene tetracarboxyl-dimides has been studied by delayed-collection-field and electric field induced fluorescence quenching techniques. It has been shown that these materials exhibit both extrinsic (impurity controlled) and intrinsic carrier generation originating from the first excited singlet state. Perylene tetracarboxyl-diimides are photoactive in the visible spectral range and their carrier generation efficiencies compare well with generation efficiencies in the best known organic photoconductors. This makes them suitable for xerographic applications using visible light.

Abstract The permanent dipole moment of a class of merocyanine dyes in their ground and first excited singlet state has been determined studying the influence of an external electric field on the absorption of the compounds in various solvents. Evaluation of the experimental results on the basis of the Onsager reaction field model also gives values for the polarizability in the ground and excited state, the latter approaches the value of a respective conducting ellipsoid with the longer chainlength molecules.

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.
