The dependence of the activation energy for trans-stilbene photoisomerization on solvent permittivity has been determined in n-alcohols via fits of the isomerization rates across the alcohol series at constant solvent permittivity to Kramers expression. The results of this procedure indicate that th
## Abstract The rate constants for the reaction of electron pulse produced solvated electrons and a number of solutes in water‐isopropanol mixtures have been measured. The quenching of the singlet excited state of naphthalene has also been studied in the same mixtures, using triethylamine and acryl
## Abstract The interplay between excited‐state charge and proton transfer reactions in protic solvents is investigated in a series of 7‐azaindole (7AI) derivatives: 3‐cyano‐7‐azaindole (3CNAI), 5‐cyano‐7‐azaindole (5CNAI), 3,5‐dicyano‐7‐azaindole (3,5CNAI) and dicyanoethenyl‐7‐azaindole (DiCNAI).
