Abstract

Reactions of various organic compounds induced by excitation of their contact charge transfer (CCT) pairs with oxygen were classified into three types of behaviour on the basis of reaction products. It is proposed that the excited state of the CCT pairs gives the products through the most isoenergetic course along the plausible exothermic pathway.
