ESR and optical measurements have been made on the lowest triplet state of a series of phenyl s-triazines and polyphenyl benzenes. The features of the phosphorescence spectra and the value of the zero-field splitting parameters of these azines and their hydrocarbon analogs leads to the assignment of the lowest triplet state of the phenyl triazines as (π, π*). The effect of nitrogen substitution is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
