Japan 2 Au&us* 1974; reoaived i.a UK for ImkIAsstf~ 29 Ootnkr 1974) It has been well-known that anthraquinones in the n,x* triplet state are strong sensitizers of photoinduced oxidation of alcohols. 2) In this case, the corresponding anthrasemiquinone radicals are obtained as an intermediate. 3) Recently, it was found that certain anthraquinones in photoexcited states abstract an electron from inorganic anions, alkoxide, and/or hydroxide ions to give the corresponding semiquinone radical anions. 4,5)
