✦ Synopsis


Picosecond and nanosecond dynamics of the ion pair produced by the electron transfer reaction between the triplet state benzophenone ('BP*) and 1,4-diazabicyclo[ 2.2.2loctane (DABCO) wasinvestigated by means oftransientabsorption spectroscopy and laser-induced photoconductivity measurement. It has been revealed that the solvated free anion radical of BP, produced by the rapid ionic dissociation of the ion pair within 2 ns, abstracts proton from the neutral DABCO giving benzophenone ketyl radical, competing with the charge recombination reaction at encounter with DABCO+, decomposition and/or impurity scavenging processes.
