Abstract

a Determined by benzophenone-sensitized photolysis (Coherent argon ion laser, Innova 18, 363.8-nm line (0.2 W)) under oxygen pressure (1-10 atm) at 8" C by using eq 2 (cf. ref 2a for experimental details). bThe trapping factor (Tf) was unity in the error limit for all systems, thus the rate constant for oxygen-catalyzed intersystem crossing (k,) was negligible compared to trapping (k,). Quoted error limits are standard errors. Weast, RC; Astle, HJ Handbook of ...
