Spectrophotometric pulse radiolysis experiments with cis- and trans-stilbene (Sc and St) in 2-propanol show that both isomers react with the solvated electron with a rate constant of 4.5 × 109 M?1 s?1. The absorption spectra of the two anion radicals have maxima at 496 and 486 nm, respectively. The absorbances at 400–550 nm disappear exponentially corresponding to a pseudo first order protonation of the anion radicals. The rate constants for the protonation of the cis isomer is 6.4 × 105 and of the trans isomer 0.7 × 105 s?1. In mixtures of cis- and trans-stilbene the electron transfer has a forward rate constant of 9 × 107 M?1 s?1 while the back reaction has a rate constant of 2.15 × 107 M?1 s?1. An equilibrium constant K = 4.2 is calculated. 相似文献
We have synthesized a series of structurally related, covalently linked electron donor-acceptor triads having highly restricted conformations to study the effects of radical ion pair (RP) structure, energetics, and solvation on charge recombination. The chromophoric electron acceptor in these triads is a 4-aminonaphthalene-1,8-dicarboximide (6ANI), in which the 4-amine nitrogen atom is part of a piperazine ring. The second nitrogen atom of the piperazine ring is part of a para-substituted aniline donor, where the para substituents are X = H, OMe, and NMe(2). The imide group of 6ANI is linked to a naphthalene-1,8:4,5-bis(dicarboximide) (NI) electron acceptor across a phenyl spacer in a meta relationship. The triads undergo two-step photoinduced electron transfer to yield their respective XAn(*)(+)-6ANI-Ph-NI(*)(-) RP states, which undergo radical pair intersystem crossing followed by charge recombination to yield (3)NI. Time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance experiments on the spin-polarized RPs and triplet states carried out in toluene and in E-7, a mixture of nematic liquid crystals (LCs), show that for all three triads, the XAn(*)(+)-6ANI-Ph-NI(*)(-) RPs are correlated radical pairs and directly yield values of the spin-spin exchange interaction, J, and the dipolar interaction, D. The values of J are all about -1 mT and show that the LC environment most likely enforces the chair conformation at the piperazine ring, for which the RP distance is larger than that for the corresponding boat conformation. The values of D yield effective RP distances that agree well with those calculated earlier from the spin distributions of the radical ions. Within the LC, changing the temperature shows that the CR mechanism can be changed significantly as the energy levels of the RPs change relative to that of the recombination triplet. 相似文献
Abstract— The photooxidation of reduced lumiflavin in its acidic form, LfH 3 +, takes place in two consecutive steps. Upon illumination of LfH 3 + in its absorption band at 313 nm the semiquinone, LfH 3 +, is formed. Two LfH 2 + ions are consumed for every LfH 2 + formed. Illumination of the semiquinone in its absorption band at 495 nm causes further oxidation so that the oxidized LfH+ ion is formed. In this reaction one LfH 3 + ion is photolyzed for every LfH+ formed. In addition, a hydrogen atom is released in the photooxidation of LfH 2 +. Mechanisms for the two photoreactions are proposed. 相似文献
The photoexcited triplet state of phenazine in toluene glasses at 35 K is investigated by light modulation-EPR spectroscopy. From the transient EPR spectra and the kinetics in the three canonical orientations (p = x, y, z) the rate parameters are determined. Thus, the depopulation rate constants kp, the anisotropic spin lattice relaxation rate constants Wp, and the ratios between the population constants Ap are calculated: kx = (2.2 ± 0.3) × 102 s?1, ky = (0.21 ± 0.04) × 102 s?1, kz = (0.06 ± 0.03) × 102 s?1, Wx = (8.6 ± 0.9) × 103 s?1, Wy = (11.0 ± 1.0) × 103 s?1, Wz = (14.0 ± 1.4) × 103 s?1, and Ax: Ay:Az ≈ 1:0.04:0.02. It is concluded therefore that the in-plane spin state |τx > is the active one. 相似文献

A laser photolysis study of ZnTPP (P) oriented in nematic and isotropic cyanohexylbiphenyl (6CB) as a function of added 1.4-benzoquinone (Q) is reported. In the absence of Q, enhancement of triplet absorption below the clearing point (nematic phase) is observed. It is attributed to the improved alignment of the optical transition in the ordered matrix and also to the increase in the intersystem crossing efficiency. T−S1. In the presence of Q in the nematic phase. An additional increase in triplet absorption is noticed. This result is interpreted in terms of a triplet radical pair [P+√…Q−√]T,RP formation which is facilitated by the ordering in the liquid crystal, thus providing an additional channel for triplet formation. The triplet PT in 6CB (nematic or isotropic) is quenched with a second-order rate of ≈108 M−1 s−1 as compared to 2 × 109 M−1 s−1 in toluene. 相似文献
The photoexcited triplet states of chlorophyll à and b are studied by the EPR method at ≈85 K using modulated light excitation. Both compounds show anomalous EPR line intensities and transient kinetics, indicating electron spin polarization (ESP) in the photoexcited triplet state. EPR studies, using Mg-tetraphenyl porphyrin (MgTPP) dissolved in n-octane show that ESP occurs also in that solvent. It is shown that the zero field splitting (ZFS) parameters of MgTPP depend strongly on the solvent. From the analysis of the data for chlorophyll a and b we evaluate: (1) the population rate constants (kp); (2) the ratio between the population rate constants (Ap) (p = x, y, z) and, (3) the spin lattice relaxation rate W. In both chlorophylls the in-plane component, x, is predominantly populated and depopulated. The ZFS parameters have been also determined for the above compounds. 相似文献
