✦ Synopsis


The quenching of triplet-excited )C6e by electron acceptors TCNQ and TCNE has been established in nonpolar toluene and moderately polar benzonitrile solutions. The quenching constants k, are 5.5 x IO' in toluene, 2.2 x 10' in benzonitrile for TCNQ and 7.9~ IO' in toluene, 4.2 x 10' (M s)-' in benxonitrile for TCNE. The 'C, quenching can be explained by triplet exciplex formation. The time-resolved spectra of the C&/TCNE system exhibit a well pronounced charge-transfer excited state [Cd2 . ..TCNEd-] in benzonitrile.
