## Abstract Paramagnetic nickel(II) complexes which are used as commercial photostabilizers of polyolefins are shown in laser photolysis studies to quench the triplet state of benzophenone in dilute benzene solution. The efficiency of quenching observed is less than that of diamagnetic square‐plana

Abstract
Sensitization of neat cis or trans 1,3‐pentadienes by triplet benzophenone leads only to isomerization and dimerization. The quantum yields measured for these processes as well as the photostationary composition are strikingly different from the figures obtained in dilute solution and indicate that an interaction between the triplet and a ground state molecule can be an efficient path for triplet decay. A kinetic scheme is proposed which accounts for all of the experimental facts and suggests that an excimer is involved.
