The singlet to triplet intersystem crossing rate (&) for a series of diphenylcarbene derivatives is found to be a sensitive function of the energy splitting (AEsT), which in turn depends on the solvent polarity and on the structure ofthe carbene. A turn-over in the dependence of ksr on AEsT is found

β¦ Synopsis
A large solvent polarity effect on the rate of singlet to triplet intersystem crossing (ksT) has been observed in the carbenes, diphenylcarbene (DPC) and dicycloheptadienylidene (DCHD)-it is found that both ksT and the energy splitting (A&T) separtaing the singlet and triplet states decrease as the solvent polarity increases for the aromatic carbenes. This "inverse" gap effect, i.e. the time for intersystem crossing decreases with increasing energy gap, is esplained by an offresonance intersystem crossing from the singJet to a sparse triplet vibronic manifold characteristic of a smalJ energy gap. The trend in AEsT, which is proposed to be responsible for the variation in ~SJ-for DPC, DCHD and structurally related aromatic carbenes, is suggested to arise from the variation in the bond a&e of the central methylene carbon atom.

## Abstract **Summary:** We investigate the influence of the polydispersity of colloidal particles and polymer, respectively, on the form factor and depletion interaction by using the laser distribution for parallel plates immersed in a solution of nonadsorbing polymers. For colloidal particles, we
