โฆ Synopsis
Measurements of the efficiency of rubrene-sensitized photooxidation of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran imply that direct formation of singlet oxygen via oxygen quenching of excited rubrene singlets is inefficient. This contrasts with recent puhlications based upon studies of self-sensitized rubrene photooxidation. The observed inefficiency can be rkionalized in terms of the spin-allowed decay of an initially formed 3(Tt + 'A) complex state to a lower energy 3(Tr + 32) state prior to complex dissociation.
