✦ Synopsis


The possible role of valence isomers as intermediates in the unimolecular non-radiative relaxation ("internal conversion") of the S, state of benzene, including the fast channel 3 process, has been tested by irradiating the 260 nm absorption-system of 1,3,5trideuterobenzene and looking for isotopically scrambled products, particularly 1,2,4-trideuterobenzene. No evidence was found either for any scrambling or for the formation of any stable non-benzenoid valence isomers. The quantum yield for any scrambling process via channel 3 under collisionless conditions must be less than 0.005. Products of photodissociative or bimolecular processes, including wall effects, were also unimportant: recovery of unchanged benzene was up to 90%.
