โฆ Synopsis
Fluorescence spectra and lifetimes have been measured at 77 K for the chalcone ketyl radical anion, and its hydroxy and methoxy derivatives. The radical anions were produced by y-irradiation of sample molecules at 77 K in alkaline polyvinyl alcohol films and in EPA rigid glasses with set-butylamine, followed by thermal bleaching (annihilation reactions of various unstable species at an elevated temperature). Fluorescence lifetimes of these radical anions (1.6-3.1 ns) were only slightly shorter than those of the corresponding ketyl radicals (3.1-5.5 ns).

The lifetime of excited diphenyl ketyl radicals is lengthened by deuterium substitution. The largest effect is obyrved by substitution at the hydroxyllc positioni for example, the lifetimes are 3.9, 4.2, 8.7 and 10.5 ns for (C6H5)2COH, (C&)#OH, (C6Hs)2COD and (C&)2COD, respectively, in toluene or to
