Photoionization quenching

If one studies only the fluorescence quenching by irreversible bimolecular ionization (3.52), there is seldom any need to trace the fate of the charged products. On the contrary, those who are interested in photoinduced geminate recombination (3.188) rarely care about the kinetics of ionization, its quenching radius, and all the rest studied in Section III. All that they need to obtain the charge separation yield is the initial ion distribution mo(r), prepared by photoionization. However, the latter is scarcely so simple as in Eq. (3.201), which is usually favored. Even so, the initial separation ro is not a fitting parameter but the characteristic interion distance, which is dependent on the precursor reaction of photoionization. [Pg.201]

The Ar(3P(, Pt) levels are 11.623 and 11.827 eV, respectively, above the ground (1S) level. The lifetimes are 8.4 and 2.0 nsec (33), respectively. The Ar(3P,1 Pj) states are formed by absorption of the Ar resonance lines at 1067 and 1048 A. In the 1 to 100 mtorr concentration range the lifetime of Ar(3P, P() atoms is of the order of 10 /tsec [Hurst et al. (494)], which is 1000 times as long as that of isolated atoms because of imprisonment of resonance radiation. If the ionization potential ofa molecule is below 11.6 eV, it is possible to increase the photoionization yield (sensitize) by adding Ar to the sample. The increase of the ionization yield is caused by collisional energy transfer between Ar(3P, Pi) atoms and the molecule before the excited atoms return to the ground state by resonance emission. Yoshida and Tanaka (1065) have found such an increase in the Ar propane, and Ar-ammonia mixtures when they are excited by an Ar resonance lamp. Boxall et al. (123) have measured quenching rate constants for Ar(3P,) atoms by N2) 02, NO, CO, and H2. They are on the order of the gas kinetic collision rate. [Pg.13]

Recently, Wright et al. (1994) used ultrafast photoionization techniques to detect vibrationally excited I2 following 220 nm photoexcitation of HBr-I2 complexes. They attributed this to quenching of Br by I2, pointing out that their measured lifetime of 51 + 5 ps is close to those reported by Sims et al. (1992). This raises exciting possibilities. It seems inevitable that Br I2 complexes will find their way eventually to the ground state PES since there is nowhere else to go. However, although the Br yield at 220 nm is unknown, it is expected to be modest. Specifically it is only 15% at 193 nm and is expected to diminish at... [Pg.88]

More recently, photoionization following the same mechanism as described for 132 has been reported for 1-naphthylmethyl radical (154) [147] and 4-biphenyl-methyl radical (140) [ 148] (Scheme 21). Thus, the lowest excited state of the radical forms a chloro-adduct in carbon tetrachloride, presumably as a result of charge transfer followed by trapping, while an upper excited state produced by biphotonic excitation photoionizes and the carbocation product is quenched by alcohol. [Pg.292]

A brief review and reassessment of data on the photophysics of benzene has been presented by Pereira. Evidence for the l E2g valence state has been obtained by u.v. two-photon spectroscopy.Slow electron impact excites fluorescence in thin films of benzene at 77 K as well as emission from isomers." The fluorescence yields and quenching by chloroform of alkyl-benzenes and 1-methylnaphthalene after excitation into Si, Sz, and S3 states and after photoionization have been measured. The channel-three process has been reconsidered in terms of the effects of local modes and Morse oscillator potentials. Excited-state dipole moments of some monosubstituted benzenes have been estimated from solvent effects on electronic absorption spectra, Structural imperfections influence the photochemistry of durene in crystals at low temperatures. Relaxation time studies on excited oxido-substituted p-oligophenylenes have been made by fluorescence depolarization... [Pg.10]

The efficient photodecarboxylation of the keto acids (77) has been studied. The reactions involve the formation of the carbanions (78). Aqueous solutions of fenofibric acid (79) at pH 7.4 show the formation of two intermediates when subjected to laser excitation. The study has indicated that the triplet state of the acid in water is of a jtji type. Photoionization is an important process in the aqueous medium. New photoreactive phenylalanine analogues (80) and (81) have been prepared. These were incorporated into position 5 of the pentapeptide, thymopentin. The resultant derivatives were photolabile and underwent decomposition on irradiation at 365 nm. Computational methods have been used to analyse the photoreactivity of the tryptophan derivative (82). The calculations were directed towards an understanding of the quenching of the fluorescence. The results indicate that hydrogen transfer alone does not quench the fluorescence, but that an aborted decarboxylation path is involved. Proton transfer... [Pg.11]
