β¦ Synopsis
The triplet yields and lifetimes of a series of substitu ted benzophenoncs have been determined by their cfficienc) in sensirizing biacetyl phosphorescence, in benzene solution. The triplet decay constants of nine Pam-substituted derivatives
show n satisfactory Hnmmett-type correlation. The results are discussed on the basis of a reversible interaction of the excited ketones with the solvent. Pcssible factors which may be responsible for the inefficiency of sensitization are also discussed.

The room-temperature lifetimes of ring-substituted excited diphenylmethyl radicals have been shown to correlate well with the energy gap between the fluorescent lowest excited doublet and the ground state. Attempts to correlate the lifetimes with Hammett constants were unsuccessful.
The triplet lifetime of aromatic hydrocarbons in liquid solution is relativc:jr short compared with the lifetime in a rigid solution.

The effect of substituents on the activation energy for primary dissociation processes in the molecular ions of mono-andparu and meta di-substituted benzenes has been examined. Where the daughter ion retains the substituent group, variation of the energy of activation derives from a combination of t
