Title: Time-resolved EPR study on the photochemical reactions of benzil

Journal Article · · Journal of Physical Chemistry

TREPR and optical studies on the photochemical reactions of benzil in 2-propanol and benzene-TEA conclude that emissive signals are due to the reaction from T{sub n} produced via the S{sub n} pointing right T{sub n} intersystem crossing process. The free-pair radical-pair mechanism can account for the main features of the slow rise component of the chemically induced dynamic electron polarization signal of the ketyl radical in 2-propanol. 27 refs., 10 figs., 2 tabs.
