Abstract

Abstract: Conventional flash kinetic spectroscopy has been used to determine rate constants (k, w) for triplet energy transfer from indeno [2, 1-a] indene, a rigid model of trans-stilbene, to azulene as a function of temperature in n-pentane (228-290 K), toluene (228-309 K), acetonitrile (233-308 K), and tert-butyl alcohol (302-342 K). In toluene the plot of koM vs. T/v is linear with a slope somewhat smaller than predicted by the Debye equation for a ...
