Solvent effects of photoinduced electron transfer reactions of triplet fluorenone with amines

Abstract

The property of the lowest excited triplet state of fluorenone (FL) in acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, toluene, cyclohexane has been investigated using time-resolved laser flash photolysis. The appearances of the corresponding cation radicals and anion radicals suggest that the electron transfer reaction occurs between 3 FL * and amines. Experimental results show a decrease in the quenching rate constants along with reducing solvent polarity. The change of quenching rate constants of the FL excited triplet with the three N,N-dimethylaniline derivatives are explained using the Hammett constant. laser flash photolysis, fluorenone, electron transfer, hydrogen-bonding, solvent effects Citation: Wang J T, Sun Q, Zhang L M, et al.

Solution phase photophysics of 5,7-dimethoxy-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-one: Analysing the lineaments of a new fluorosensor to probe different micro-environments

“…This observation indicates probably the formation of a charge transfer complex. Application of laser flash photolysis in combination with an external magnetic field certainly confirms the occurrence of PET from TEA to the KTHC-57 and it also reveals the concerned mechanism [67][68][69][70][71][72].…”

“…Fluorescence intensity of DMMTCO is observed to be quenched in the presence of an organic electron donor like triethylamine (TEA) [32][33][34][35]. Based on solvent dependence, we have performed steady state and time resolved quenching experiments in four homogenous solvents of varied nature with respect to dielectrics and H-bonding interactions, ACN, DMSO, EtOH and HOH.…”
