Abstract— The rate of decay of the triplet state of lumiflavin in deaerated phosphate buffer at pH 6.9, has been studied using the flash photolysis technique, at various concentrations and flash energies. The decay of the transient appears as a mixture of first and second order processes, the relative importance of which depends on the experimental conditions.
The following competitive reactions have been found to explain the course of the reaction of the triplet excited state of lumiflavin.
