Abstract
Paramagnetic nickel(II) complexes which are used as commercial photostabilizers of polyolefins are shown in laser photolysis studies to quench the triplet state of benzophenone in dilute benzene solution. The efficiency of quenching observed is less than that of diamagnetic squareβplanar nickel(II) complexes which are more effective photostabilizers of polypropylene in βXenotestβ experiments. The observed rate constants for quenching of triplet benzophenone are compared with those observed by other workers for quenching of singlet oxygen, O~2~^*^(^1^Ξ~g~), in dilute solution. The relevance of these studies to the understanding of photodegradation in polyolefins is discussed.

## Abstract Sensitization of neat __cis__ or __trans__ 1,3βpentadienes by triplet benzophenone leads only to isomerization and dimerization. The quantum yields measured for these processes as well as the photostationary composition are strikingly different from the figures obtained in dilute soluti

Photoinduced hydrogen transfer and electron transfer to excited states of carbonyl compounds are two of the most intensively investigated fundamental processes in photochemistry. [1][2][3] Numerous studies have been performed to elucidate the mechanisms as well as to determine ways to control these
