β¦ Synopsis
On irradiation in solution in hydrogen-donating solvents, methyl and ethyl pyruvale react through their excited singlet and triplet states to yield a pair of isomeric radicals. Each isomer is formed via both pathways, but in some solvents one is produced predominantly from the singlet state and the other from the triplet state. The behaviour is rationalised to a large extent by consideration of Ihe overall symmetry of the excited states of the parent molecule, in its lwo isomeric forms, leading to the concept of triplet state spin symmetry control of the reaction.

Time-resolved and steady state equations for successive singlet and triplet quenching by the same quencher in micelles are developed. The model assumes that: (i) the quencher can distribute between micellar and aqueous phases, (ii) the probe is completely micellized, and (iii) the distribution kinet
