The reaction of triplet benzophenone with the tertiary amines triisopropylamine and diisopropyl-3-pentylami~e does not lead to photoreduction. An explanation of this unusual behaviour is given based on the particular structure of these amines. The initial charge transfer events are compared with tho

โฆ Synopsis
Photoreduction of aromatic ketones by amines may show moderately high quantum yields, cp -0.6-1.4, as compared with a theoretical maximum value of cp = 2, and low sensitivity to diffusion controlled physical quenchers and to concentration of amines.(l,2,3) These properties led us to propose (1,2) a stepwise reaction which proceeds via rapid charge transfer interaction of ketone triplet with amine, with high rate constant kir, followed either by charge destruction and quenching or by hydrogen transfer and formation of radicals. The relative importance of these two alternatives largely determines the quantum yields, eq. 1 Ar&=O*(T1)

Norbornadiene (l) and quadricyclene (2) undergo photointerconversion in the presence of certain 1,2,3 aromaticketone and -aldehyde triplet sensitizers. The position of the photostationary state thus obtained depends on the triplet energy of the donor. This has been interpreted in terms of a nonspect
