SOLVENT EFFECTS IN THE ELECTRON TRANSFER QUENCHING OF THE TRIPLET STATE OF ANTHRACENE BY p-BENZOQUINONES

Here we present an investigation of the quenching of anthracene triplet by several p-benzoquinones, in two solvents of nearly equal macroscopic dielectric properties, methanol and acetonitrile. Bimolecular quenching rate constants were measured by laser flash photolysis. Quantum efficiencies of char...
