Introduction and Review of the Year

Volume 8 of ‘Photochemistry’ undergoes a slight shift towards the biological end of the spectrum with the inclusion for the first time of a section dealing with chemical aspects of photobiology (Part VI). This has been contributed by Dr. Godfrey Beddard, whom we are pleased to welcome to the team of Reporters. Although photobiology has not been totally neglected in previous Volumes, we felt that its growing chemical interest justified the emphasis of separate treatment. We are also glad to welcome back Dr. M. A. West who provides a two-year review of developments in instrumentation and techniques. We may for an experimental period continue to review these aspects on a biennial basis. On the other hand, the spectroscopic and theoretical aspects, which have hitherto been covered on an annual basis, are not included this year, and it is intended that they will form the subject of a biennial review in Volume 9. It is not only photochemists who will have felt that one of the most important reports to appear in the chemical literature during the year has been the preliminary announcement by Whitten and his co-workers of the efficient photoproduction of molecular hydrogen and oxygen from water using near-u.v. and visible light in the presence of monolayer-bound ruthenium(1x) bipyridyl complexes. Although the reported findings appear to be unquestionably authentic, it is necessary to add a cautionary note, for Professor Whitten has informed the writer that he and his colleagues have been unable to reproduce the original results using more highly purified reagents. Some unrecognized impurity may have been involved, so it is greatly to be hoped that further work will lead to the identification of this, and indeed to the development of improved systems which are capable of functioning in homogeneous solution. A successful development along these lines would be of the greatest importance in relation to the ‘energy crisis’. In this connection, it is interesting that [Ru(bipy),12+has been shown to act as a photocatalyst for the air oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+, possibly via an 0,-complex (Winterle, Kliger, and Hammond). Schrauzer and Guth have also reported that U.V. irradiation promotes the evolution of hydrogen from ferrous hydroxide gels, apparently via disproportionation to iron metal (see also reports by Crosby, Juris, and their co-workers). Continuing with developments in inorganic photochemistry, we may note that several reports have stressed the importance of electron-transfer as a general mechanism for quenching the excited states of co-ordination compounds. Nonradiative processes usually occur very rapidly in such excited states, and picosecond laser flash photolysis is proving a very useful technique for investigations in this area (Kirk et al.). On the theoretical side, Burdett’s molecular orbital procedure for calculating the course of non-dissociative photoisomerizations of transition-metal compounds appears to have predictive value.

Introductory Review

There is growing evidence that photoaddition reactions of metal-co-ordinated dienes and mono-enes do not generally follow a concerted pathway, so application of orbital symmetry arguments may be less generally justified than has hitherto been believed. Attention is drawn to an important paper by Endicott and Ferraudi on photosubstitution reactions in Co"' and Rh"' complexes which occur via ligand-field excitation. The mechanism of quenching by ferrocene now appears clearer following independent studies by Herkstroeter, and Farmilo and Wilkinson. The production of Si=C compounds has long been a goal in organosilicon chemistry, so it is interesting that Boudjouk and co-workers have obtained evidence for the transitory formation of Me2Si=CH2 by the vacuum U.V. photolysis of Me,SiCMe,. Unstable Si=C intermediates may also be involved in the novel C( 1)C(4)/C(9)C(10) intramolecular dimerization of organosilicon-substituted anthracene rings reported by Felix and co-workers. Parker and Sommer have generated the highly reactive silaimines R,Si=NR by photolysis of the corresponding azides R3SiN3,and have trapped these as t-butanol adducts. Irradiation of ozone co-deposited with sulphur trioxide has led to the first spectroscopic characterization of the species SO4 (Kugel and Taube). On the physical side of the subject, an increasing trend may be noted towards studies of small molecules and atoms of interest in the atmospheric photochemistry of Earth and other planets following developments noted in previous Volumes. Among medium-small molecules, benzene and glyoxal continue to command an enthusiastic following. Formosinho and Dias da Silva have had considerable success in calculating the rate constants for Sl-+s,, and Sl-+ transitions in benzene and 2[H],benzene by application of an empirical tunnelling theory. This treatment indicates that the rate constant for the former process is more energy-dependent than that for the latter. Time- and wavelength-resolved emission spectra are proving very useful in studies of the relaxation of excited aromatic hydrocarbons and other species (D. Phillips and co-workers, among others), and a promising molecular beam technique has also been briefly reported (Sander et a2.): this latter appears to avoid problems from the complexity of emission spectra which result from the normally unavoidable excitation of hot U-ZI bands in the absorption step. See also Smally et al. for a related elegant study of 12. Concern continues to be expressed about possible effects of chlorofluorocarbons (Freons), which are widely used as aerosol propellants, on depletion of the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere. The rate constant for the key reaction C1* O3 C10. + O2has been measured independently by Razumovskii et al., and Kurylo and Braun. The results are in fair agreement, and indicate the possibility that previous estimates of ozone loss may have been too high. Likewise the half-lives of various chlorofluoromethanes in the troposphere have been calculated to be 1-2 years, or less, whereas periods of about 50 years have been estimated by some previous workers. There has been a continued upsurge of academic and other interest in isotope separation by use of high-power i.r. lasers selectively to excite low-lying vibrational transitions by multiphotonic absorption in isotopic mixtures of small molecules. Isotope separation via electronic excitation has also been described.

Introductory Review

V

Carroll and Quina have described a new method for determination of intersystem-crossing quantum yields. In methylbenzenes, it is interesting to note that the values show some tendency to increase with the number of methyl groups and with increasing symmetry of the substitution pattern, The vacuum-u.v. irradiation of benzene in argon and nitrogen matrices can lead to thermoluminescence, i.e. phosphorescence after irradiation as the matrix warms up (Hellner and Vermeil). It is well known that the acidity of phenols in the S, state is much higher than in the Sostate, but a previous report of supposed enhancement of a reaction rate due to this phenomenon (nitrosation of 2-naphthol) has been severely questioned by Chandross. Exciplexes and ‘encounter complexes’ continue to attract a good deal of attention, and triple exciplexes (D . . . A . . . D) have been reported (Saltiel et d ; Mimura and Itoh). A study of pyrene and NN-diethylaniline has provided the first direct evidence for solvent-induced changes in the electronic structure of a polar exciplex. In highly polar solvents, the absorption spectrum becomes identical with that of the separated radical-ions (Orbach and Ottolenghi; see also Gupta and Basu, and Mataga et al.). Slifkin and Al-Chalabi have used flash photolysis of donor-acceptor complexes (e.g. perylene-chloranil) to obtain triplet-triplet spectra of the donors. The technique appears promising, but ambiguities may complicate interpretation of the results. The importance of the stereochemical configuration of ground-state and excited-state complexes in determining the stereochemistry of photoaddition reactions is being increasingly recognized. Hochstrasser and King have reported some interesting isotopically selective photochemistry in molecular crystals. Lahav et aZ. have described an ingenious new method for purification of enantiomers based on topochemical control of photodimerization of anthracene units, as with esters of 9-anthroic acid. The presence of cyanobenzenes (which promote charge-transfer processes) can profoundly modify the course of some photoreactions, e.g. dimerization of styrenes This interesting phenomenon merits wider study. Yang and (Asanuma et d,). his co-workers have observed fluorescence emission from a substituted dieneanthracene system which they attribute to an ‘encounter complex’, a species previously more often proposed than identified. The technique of using xenon to detect singlet and triplet processes by efficient enhancement of intersystem crossing rates is becoming more widely employed : see, for example, Morrison, Nylund, and Palensky. The section on Instrumentation and Techniques covers the period July 1974 to June 1976 inclusive. Although 724 references are cited, the review is to some extent restricted to what are considered to be the most significant advances. Some interesting developments in the rather neglected field of U.V. lasers has been stimulated by requirements for isotope separation, as noted above (and many new examples of this have been reported), and thermonuclear fusion. Hoffman, Hays, and Tisone have described devices based on electron-beam pumped halides such as XeBr and KrF: these offer promise as powerful tunable U.V. lasers. Since nitrogen-lasers (at 337 nm) are the most common types now used in photochemistry; it is interesting to note that addition of SF, to a nitrogenlaser can double the power output (Judd).

Introductory Review

Applications of photoacoustic spectroscopy are multiplying rapidly, particularly for the measurement of absorption spectra of biological materials and atmospheric pollutants. Schwarz et al. have described fluorescence techniques whereby sulphur dioxide and nitric oxide can be rapidly and continuously monitored, and Tucker et al. have developed a laser-based procedure for nitrogen dioxide which is even more sensitive. Bradley and Sibbett have described a new type of streak camera which makes possible the achievement of sub-picosecond time resolution from the vacuum-u.v. to the near-i.r. The section on Chemical Aspects of Photobiology deals mostly with photochemical and photophysical aspects of primary processes in photosynthesis and vision. A new examination of highly purified chlorophyll a in EPA has shown that fluorescence previously attributed to a ‘hot’ band is due to an impurity, and that no dimer emission occurs at concentrations up to mol 1-1 (Mau). Among the developments concerning vision processes during the year, one may particularly note Salem and Bruckmann’s proposal of a mechanism whereby twisting about the 11-cis-ethylenic bond in the S 1 m *state of an N-retinylidene chromophore triggers an electrical signal which, inter alia, changes the permeability of the disc membrane to Na+. Downer and Englander have reported hydrogen-exchange studies which indicate that the action of light in vision processes promotes hydrogen exchange which in turn may cause conformational changes in a protein, and thereby distort a ‘plug’ in the cell membrane which opens a channel for passage of an as yet unidentified transmitter molecule. Another ingenious proposal by Warshel invokes a type of ‘bicycle pedal’ motion in photoisomerization of retinal when both ends of the molecule are restrained. In contemplating such developments in our groping attempts to understand photobiological processes, one is left with feelings of profoundest humility. These immensely subtle, complex, efficient, and robust ‘natural’ photosystems far transcend as constructions the human artefacts with which these annual Volumes are largely concerned. It is becoming increasingly difficult to deny that a better photochemist has gone before. We may now turn to some of the significant developments in more conventional photochemistry. The carbonyl group continues to exert its perennial fascination. Thus Yates and Tam have provided useful evidence on the structural features which promote the ring-enlargement of cyclic ketones to oxacarbene intermediates. Rather controversially, Wagner and Thomas have invoked fluorine hyperconjugation to account for the photochemical behaviour of certain fluoroketones. Hydrogen-abstractions by carbonyl and azomethine systems have been compared by Alexander and Jackson. These systems can show a similar degree of reactivity towards primary hydrogen atoms, but the carbonyl systems are much the more chemically reactive towards secondary hydrogen atoms. In a study of photoenolization, Wagner and Chen have obtained evidence for the formation of two triplet species derived from the syn- and anti-conformers of o-methylacetophenone: the former has the shorter lifetime. Some photoenolization occurs from the S1state of the syn-conformer. hv Deshayes et al. have described examples of the useful process ROAc RH in the steroid series: the yields are high.

Upper triplet states continue to be proposed in carbonyl photochemistry. Thus Bellobono et al. have invoked a T2state in the photocyclization of a furanone to a coumarin. The formation of cyclic enones having trans C=C has previously been suggested, so it is interesting that examples have now been isolated and trapped as furan adducts (Hart and Suzuki). In view of the frequent use of t-butanol as a solvent for photoreactions, it should be noted that Stille and his co-workers have observed this solvent to be photochemically reactive, giving products suggestive of the formation of free methyl radicals, possibly via fragmentation of intermediate t-butoxyl radicals : Wubbels et al. have actually obtained a t-butanol/anthraquinone photoadduct in the presence of ammonia. Barton and his co-workers have continued to develop and exploit photochemical procedures in the natural products field, most recently for synthesis of the antibiotic bikaverin, and in an improved synthesis of aldosterone. Maier, Hartan, and Sayrac have reported some interesting studies on the photoproduction of cyclobutadiene, and have observed the possible formation of a cyclobutadiene-CO, complex. The short-lived tetrafluorocyclobutadiene has been obtained (Gerace, Lemal, and Ertl). Courtot and his co-workers have reported an interesting series of studies in the field of hexatriene photochemistry: the conformation of the ground-state species has emerged as an important factor. Some new studies by Bender and Brooks on the photoisomerization of barrelenes to cyclo-octatetraenes appear to provide results in conflict with previous proposals. Interesting developments continue to be reported in the field of aromatic photochemistry. Barltrop and Day have provided further applications of their procedure for analysing ring transposition reactions of aromatic molecules in terms of ring permutation patterns, and Chambers et al. have presented an interesting paper on the pyridazine-pyrazine conversion. The first examples of photochemical cine-substitution have been reported (Bryce-Smith, Gilbert, and Krestonosich). Two separate reports of the photochemical cleavage of a benzene ring have appeared (Saito, Takami, and Matsuura; Hasselmann and Laustrial). Katritzky and Wilde have shown that 3-oxido-1-phenylpyridinium undergoes photodimerization and photoisomerization by 2,s-bonding. The latter process is without precedent in pyridinium chemistry: the former is rare, but Nagano et nl. have provided a further example. Muszkat et al. have presented a notable analysis of mechanistic factors in stilbene photocyclizations. These and related reactions continue to find numerous useful applications in synthesis, e.g. of helicenes, apolignans, and berberine alkaloids. Anderson et al. have used a photochemical route to provide the first example of an isolated 1,Zdiazetidine : cyclization of a lH-2,3-benzodiazepine is involved, and the extrusion of N2 which might have been expected does not occur. There has been considerable interest in nitrile ylides during the year, for example the formation from azirines, and intra- and inter-molecular addition reactions to carbonyl and other groups. Barltrop, Day, and co-workers have reported that the photoisomerization of 2- to 3-cyanopyrroles appears to involve initial 2,s-bonding in the pyrrole ring, followed by ‘walk’ reactions of the NH group.

Introductory Review

Scattered reports appear in the literature that various inorganic ions can act as photocatalysts of reactions involving organic species. An interesting example to appear during the year has been the observation that Cu2+salts strongly promote the photoisomerization of pyridine N-oxides to 2-formylpyrroles (Bellamy, Martz, and Streith). Hata has reported the use of eosin adsorbed on alumina as a photosensitizer for reactions of heterocyclic N-oxides using visible light. Sat0 et al. have described a remarkable new regioselective synthesis of mediumto-large ring azathiocyclols by irradiation of N-alkylphthalimides bearing -SR groups as remote substituents in the alkyl group, e.g. at C-5. Cyclization occurs on to a carbonyl group in the phthalimide ring via a-C to the S. The photoelimination of N2 from pyrazoles, triazolines, triazines, etc. continues to provide valuable procedures for synthesis of benzcyclopropenes, aziridines, azetes, and other strained systems. Likewise, the long known photoelimination of N2 from diazo-compounds to give carbenes continues to find new synthetic applications. The photolysis of 3-diazobenzofuranone provides an interesting new source of benzyne which involves two successive photochemical steps (Chapman et d).The first case of reversible photochromic valence isomerization between a diazo-compound and a diazirine has been described by Voight and Meier. Cadogan et al. have reported the first example of the addition of an a-oxocarbene to benzene. Oda et al. have generated the highly strained allenic 1,2,4,6-cyclo-octatetraeneby a chemical procedure involving the generation of an intermediate carbene, and have trapped it as an adduct with cyclopentadiene. Mykytka and Jones have used an intramolecular carbene-acetylene addition to generate the highly strained dibenzobicyclo[4,1 ,O]heptatriene (1) and have trapped this by cycloaddition of butadiene to the cyclopropene moiety. Few photochemists normally look for effects of light intensity on quantum yields, but the observation of such effects in the photoreduction of a cyclohexadienone by Schuster et nl. may stimulate investigations of this parameter in other photochemical systems, especially those involving free-radical intermediates.

H. Fischer and his co-workers have used a CIDNP procedure to show that enols having lifetimes of a few seconds at room temperature can be formed during the photoreduction of aliphatic alcohols and ketones, being derived from ketyl radicals. For example, acetone and isopropanol form the acetone enol MeC(OH)=CH, (together with pinacol, of course). At -70 "C, the lifetime of the enol is ca. 5000 s, and addition of this enol to acetone gives the oxetan (2) as the major product. Interest continues in the photodegradation of polychloroaromatics, doubtless under the stimulus of environmental concern, and several interesting studies have appeared, e.g. photoreduction by borohydride and by methanol. It is interesting that some of these reductions appear to be promoted by the presence of triethylamine (see Part 111, Chapter 5 ) .

Introductory Review

ix

Although no really striking developments in polymer photochemistry as such have appeared during the year, Schaaf and his co-workers have developed several polymer-bound dye and porphyrin sensitizers for the photochemical generation of singlet oxygen: these appear to have the advantage of functioning heterogeneously, and they show greater resistance to bleaching than do sensitizers not bound in this way. Boden has used ‘crowii ethers’ to render certain dyestuff salts for singlet oxygen generation soluble in organic solvents. Potassium perchromate (K,Cr08) is no longer recommended as a ‘clean’ source of singlet oxygen: according to Pitts et al., <60/, of singlet oxygen seems actually to be formed. The question whether hydroperoxidation of alkenes by singlet oxygen occurs by an essentially concerted ene-reaction or via an intermediate perepoxide continues to lack a definitive answer. Opinion in recent years has been tending to favour the former alternative, but two theoretical studies have now given increased support to the latter (Inagaki and Fukui; Dewar and Thiel). It begins to look as though either mechanism may operate, depending on the nature of the alkene. Naphthalene 1,4-endo-peroxide cannot be formed directly from naphthalene and singlet oxygen, but has now been prepared indirectly by a twostage route involving dye-sensitized oxidation of a [lOIannulene. It proves to be fairly stable, but on warming gives naphthalene and singlet oxygen (Vogel and co-workers). The common use of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (-> o-dibenzoylbenzene) as a diagnostic trap for singlet oxygen may not after all be wholly specific for this reagent, according to Howard and Mendenhall. The reaction may occur to some extent also by free radical-initiated oxidation. It is noteworthy that peracids give the product quantitatively without involvement of singlet oxygen (Boyer et a!.). In the field of solar energy conversion, there has been increasing interest in the photoproduction of hydrogen from water. Unfortunately, as already noted, a question mark now hangs over the striking report of the photodissociation of water in the presence of a monolayer-bound ruthenium complex. Further developments here will be awaited with the greatest interest. There are, however, a number of systems from which the photoproduction of molecular hydrogen has been observed, and attention is drawn to the important review by Stein. The three main approaches are (a) the use of transition metal compounds to provide photo-redox systems, sometimes in conjunction with an n-type semiconductor (see Creutz and Sutin), (b) photoelectrolysis of water using Ti02 or strontium- or potassium-titanate electrodes, and ( c ) the use of photosynthetic organisms containing the enzymes nitrogenase and hydrogenase. Among a number of interesting developments during the year, one may particularly note Lin and Sutin’s photogalvanic cell based on a R ~ ( b p y ) ~ + / F e ~ + system, and the ingenious 3-electrode electrical storage battery described by Hodes and co-workers which is chargeable by sunlight with a reported efficiency of up to 90%. Some important improvements have been made in the technology of manufacturing silicon suitable for photocells : these may substantially reduce the present high manufacturing costs (Chalmers and co-workers). Soukup and Shah’s ‘high voltage vertical multijunction solar cells’ may also provide practical photovoltaic devices of markedly improved efficiency. Some very efficient solar cells

Introductory Review

based on cadmium sulphide heterojunctions with other semiconductors have been further described, notably those employing CdS/InP junctions (Shay et al., Boer). James and Moon, among others, have described some promising solar cells incorporating gallium arsenide. The field solar energy conversion is undoubtedly attracting increased academic and industrial attention as the urgency of the need for renewable energy sources becomes more widely appreciated. Important practical developments in the years ahead are very much to be hoped for and, I think, expected. February 1977 D. BRYCE-SMITH.

Part I PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY

1 Developments in Instrumentation and Techniques BY M. A. WEST

1 Introduction Although the progressive trend is for more and more physics to enter into chemical applications, a state of affairs which has attracted comment by analytical chemists (Aiialyt. Chem., 1975,47, 2073), photochemists must surely welcome the application of lasers and electro-optic developments to aid their research. Fields such as absorption and emission spectroscopy, chemical kinetics, and more recently, preparative chemistry, have all benefited through higher spectral resolution, selectivity, sensitivity, etc. This two-year review (July 1974 to June 1976) discusses most of the obvious advances in instrumentation and techniques in photochemistry, photophysics, and related spectroscopy as well as referring to fringe and other developments which have potential for, or have yet to be applied to, studies on the interaction of light with matter. With such a wide subject content, it is not possible to be very critical of publications or to include all publications within the confined space of this chapter. Furthermore, although subjects have been arbitrarily separated into 10 sections, some areas could be equally well placed in several sections, for example, two-photon absorption in sections dealing with pulsed lasers, absorption, or even emission spectroscopy. Several key developments have taken place recently in a number of relatively new techniques. Photoacoustic spectroscopy, though discovered 95 years ago, has benefited considerably by recent research which shows its considerable potential for absorption spectrometry of solids and semi-solids. Preparative photochemistry using i.r. lasers is already proving itself as a powerful technique for isotopic separations and for producing specific products. The time resolution in transient absorption measurements has now been pushed back to femtoseconds, beyond which, chemistry, as we know it, does not exist because of the uncertainty principle. A list of recommended terms for spectroscopy was tabulated in a previous volume (Vol. 6, p. 62) and was reputably based on the S.I. system of units. Unfortunately, inconsistencies in these terms have been indicated by Mielenz,l who recommends use of more logical adjectives and nouns to describe quantities and terms which are based on the transport of energy according to the laws of geometrical optics. For example, by defining absorbance as the negative logarithm to base ten of internal transmittance, it should be clear that this refers to the transmittance of an absorbing material exclusive of losses at boundary surfaces K. D.Mielenz, Analyt. Chem., 1976,48, 1093.

and effects of interreflection between them. Any instrument used for the measurement of spectra should simply be called a spectrometer. The word spectrophotometer, though commonly used, is a misnomer since a photometer is an instrument that measures luminous flux. Since the adjective ‘luminous’ implies the integral effect of visual radiation as perceived by the human eye, the spectral analysis of luminous flux has no physical meaning. It is certainly more accurate and logical to use the term absorption spectrometer and in the same way the confusion over spectrofluorimeters and spectrofluorometers would be eliminated by the term fluorescence spectrometer. One suggestion unlikely to find acceptance by photochemists, however, is replacement of the firmly established quantum yield by radiant yield or photon yield.

2 Plasma Sources The low-pressure mercury lamp so commonly used for photochemistry has been and the intensity of the 253 nm line examined as a function studied recently of Hg pressure, tube radius, and operating current. The intensity rises to a peak at about 7 mTorr pressure and falls at higher Hg pressures and, at constant pressure, increases linearly with ~ u r r e n t . A ~ useful review emphasizing the chemical developments of inorganic phosphors discusses their applications in changing the output wavelength of an Hg lamp.* Instabilities in the output of an HPK mercury lamp have been overcome by operation from an optically stabilized supply resulting in a drift of 0.1%h-l over a 30 h period.6 The amount of obnoxious and hazardous ozone generated by xenon short arc lamps is reduced considerably by passing the normal cooling air through a baffled aluminium chamber containing iron oxide.* This ‘filter’ decomposes the ozone to oxygen with high efficiency, but only after a warm-up time of 3040 min. A comparison of Xe-Hg, D2arc, and H2 hollow-cathode lamps has been made in an evaluation of a suitable source for background correction in atomic absorption spectrometry.’ At shorter wavelengths, a new type of source generating the line radiation of the rare gas ions achieves an enhanced ion flux by incorporating a charged particle arrangement. Intense line spectra are obtained from the He, Ne, and Ar ions, affording a convenient windowless source of He(@ (30.4 and 25.6 nm) and Ne(I1) (46 nm) suitable for photoelectron spectroscopy.8 A microwave-discharge U.V. light source has been reported to yield significant photon fluxes at 26.9 and 40.81 eV.O Mention will be made in other sections of the use of light from a synchrotron, but it is worth noting here a collection of papers dealing with this intense plasma source and its applications.l* 2p

3 Laser Sources Before reporting developments in laser sources, it is appropriate to comment on safety codes regarding eye protection. Although there is little doubt that nearly every laser system radiates a beam which is hazardous to the eye, current safety codes in this country and elsewhere need to be revised regularly in view of developments in laser sources. Minimum permissible exposures depend on laser wavelength, exposure time, and peak power and, for many lasers, are estimated and certainly not based on ophthalmic measurements of thresholds for retinal or corneal lesions. Although some current safety codes have been criticized for being confusing, too conservative, and unrealistic (Laser Report, 1976, 12, 6, 7), there has been a report that standards for the near-u.v. may be inadequate (Laser Focus, 1976, 12(1), 41) since the corneal-damage threshold for the Nz laser for 10 ns pulses is only 10 pJ cm-2. Even more disturbing is recent evidence showing that the eye is 800 times more susceptible to damage from blue light than from radiation in the near-i.r.ll Both laser users and developers must be aware of realistic safety requirements, particularly in view of present and planned legislation on safety. The following sections outline some of the numerous publications on lasers with a reporting bias towards high-energy U.V. and tunable sources of all wavelengths which are being, or can be, used in photochemistry and spectroscopy.

CW Lasers.-There are few U.V. lasers known with adequate CW output power, and frequency doubling of visible lasers is not normally very efficient. Intracavity SHG, with temperature-tuned KDP or ADP crystals in a folded argon ion laser cavity, produces an output power of 300 mW at 257.25 nm.12 The important design criteria for this 32% power conversion efficiency are: (i) temperature tuning of the SHG crystal to better than kO.02 "C; (ii) cutting the crystals at the Brewster angle; and (iii) producing a 50 pm beam waist in the crystal. A lower cost and potentially useful laser for photochemistry is a CW CuII laser obtained by exciting a neon discharge in a copper hollow ~ a t h 0 d e . l ~ Lines at 248.6, 250.6, 259.1, and 259.9 nm at a power output of between 7 and 210 mW have been reported. The He-Cd laser, which usually emits at 325 and 441 nm,14 can produce simultaneous emission on five wavelengths in the red, green, and blue which can be mixed to give a 'white light' 1aser.16 CW laser oscillations on 23 transitions of CU(II)between 450 and 799 nm were obtained by exciting He-Ar, He-Ne, or He-Xe discharge in a hollow copper cathode.16 A high output power (0.5 W) and a bandwidth of 0.004 nm have been reported for a rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) laser pumped by an argon ion 1aser.l' Removal of unwanted background fluorescence from this type of laser within 0.5 nm of the exciting Ar+ l1 l2 l3

DOTC and hexacyanine-3 cyanine dyes pumped by a 1.5 W krypton laser produce laser emission covering the range 754-888 nm.22 A compact external cavity for use with Group 111 and IV compound semiconductor injection lasers incorporates a grating which allows tuning from 860 to 910 nm.23 Among i.r. lasers reported are those obtained by non-linear mixing of emission from Nd-YAG and Rh6G lasers in LiI03 (range 1.28-1.62 a spin-flip Raman laser for the range 1905-1850 cm-l which was calibrated by absorption spectroscopy of COS, NO, DBr, and H,O using acousto-optic detection,25and chemical lasers of HI; 27 and DF.20In one case, F atoms produced in a mixture of SF, and He by microwave-discharge apparatus produced a laser with a CW output power of 4 W between 2.5 and 2.9 pm.26 Laser gain profiles (at 10.8 pm) were measured in a low-pressure Na-catalysed N20-CO transverse flow chemical laser under a variety of flow conditions.28 261

Pulsed Gas Lasers.-The search for new U.V. lasers that are highly efficient has been particularly stimulated by requirements of isotope separation and laserinduced thermonuclear fusion. Electron-beam pumping of high-pressure noble gases is well known to be 30 and recent studies with xenon 31-33 and xenon-He-Ar mixtures 34 revealed a continuously tunable source over 5 nm at 172 34 Investigations of laser systems using collisional energy transfer to create population inversions between electronic states of acceptor molecules have concentrated on electron-beam pumping of gas mixtures, e.g. Xe-0,, Ar-N2.35 An intense band emission at 3 4 G 3 4 4 n m from Ar-I, mixtures has been attributed to emission from molecular iodine with an overall fluorescence yield of 13 k 4%.

noble-gas halides were possible laser systems, the following have been observed to lase following electron-beam excitation: XeBr at 282 nm;38-40 KrF at 249 nm;37940-44 XeCl at 308 nm;40,43 XeF at 351 and 353 nm;40945-47 and ArF at 193 nm.37 These systems are of great interest as a new class of powerful tunable U.V. lasers. For example, using an axial electron-beam excitation scheme to excite a mixture of Ar, Kr, and F2, 108 J of laser energy corresponding to a peak power of 1.9 GW was obtained from KrF and 1.6 G W from ArF.37 Electron-beam pumping is not essential since transverse electrical excitation (similar to that used in the N, laser) of mixtures of He or Ne, Xe, and NF, at pressures between 300 and 1000 Torr produced strong laser emission at 351 and 353 nm (attributed to XeF) with an energy of 7 mJ (compared with 2 mJ from nitrogen under the same condition^).^^ Laser action on the U.V. bands of I2 at 342 nm49-51 and bromine at 292 nm 5 2 following electron-beam irradiation has been reported with an experimental arrangement similar to that used for the rare gas halide lasers.44 The nitrogen laser (at 337 nm) must be the most common laser used in photochemical laboratories. The literature on these devices up to 1974 has been reviewed,53 and a detailed analysis of their dynamic behaviour 54 and circuit theory and design55presented. In the last paper, the usual flat-plate design is modified to spiralled striplines rolled around the cavity. In this way, a reproducible power of 1.2 MW was obtained at a charging voltage of only 12 kV.55 Other models constructed include a double parallel-plate design similar to that of Basting and Steyer (Vol. 4, p. 88) with a third electrode in the cavity for preionization, giving an output power of > 3 MW and pulse energy of >20 mJ,56 a low divergence (0.2 x 0.3 mR) laser of maximum intensity 5 MW m~ad-,,~'a MW system from a simple 25 cm device,58and a low-threshold coaxial arrangement using a Nanolite pulser of maximum power 140 kW.5B A stabilization technique employing a corona-type discharge prior to pulsing a Blumlein circuit has been employed,60and calculations made on laser intensity 49s

Addition of SF6 to a nitrogen laser has been found to produce a considerable increase in output power 66 up to Electron-beam pumping of Ar-N, mixtures results in laser emission at 357.7 nm 67-69 with a much higher efficiency (0.08-0.4%) than nitrogen A compact Ar-N, excitation transfer laser emits 40 ns pulses at a repetition rate of 1 kHz with a peak power up to 300 kW.69 In this case, a 12-stage Marx bank generator drives the cathode directly with an input voltage of 540 kV. Travelling-wave excitation of high-pressure nitrogen can produce single pulses from the second positive band of N, with the duration decreasing from 300 ps at 1 atm to 50 ps at 6 Mixtures of argon and iodine-donor compounds (HI, CF31,or CH31) can be electron-beam pumped to produce lasing from iodine at 301 nm,71at average output powers up to 25 MW. Further investigations of the copper laser (reported in Vol. 6, p. 69) have shown that this could have potential as a high-energy visible Quasicontinuous pulsed laser output at 510.6 and 578.2 nm has been reported from 600 "C copper iodide discharges at repetition rates near 8 kHz 73 and up to 30 kHz with copper At slightly longer wavelengths, laser oscillations have been observed on the green bands of XeO and KrO excimers pumped by an electron beam at around 550 nm with peak powers up to 100 kW.75 A multiple wavelength laser could be obtained in a single laser tube by using metals known to lase individually. Copper and gold as laser materials, for example, produce a total power of 17 mW at repetition rates up to 1.7 kHz with simultaneous emission at 510.6, 578.2, and 627.8 nm.76 A discharge-heated lead vapour laser with emission at 406.2 and 405.7 nm has been r e p ~ r t e d . ~ ' High-power photochemical iodine lasers (emission at 1.31 5 pm) have the potential of providing the short and powerful pulses which are necessary for laser fusion.

Photochemistry

the output power of a conventional flashlamp-pumped laser is to ignite a lowenergy prepulse discharge through the flashlanip just prior to firing the main flashlamp This prepulse or simmer mode of operation of flash lamps is well known to enhance the U.V. spectral output. Spectral characteristics of lamps have been given in a description of a coaxial dye cell pumped by a linear lamp, and considerable variations in peak power and energy were found at different wavelengths of a xenon d i s ~ h a r g e . ~ ~ High intensities in the 200-300 nm range needed to pump U.V. and blue dyes were obtained in a novel arrangement using a C0,-laser-produced Output powers of > 10 kW from p-terphenyl (lasing at 340 nm) were produced by a 10.6 pm input pulse energy of 5.6 J and more than 30 kW was obtained under the same conditions from Rh6G. By mixing two dyes in a single cell (e.g. Rh6G with coumarin 120) it is possible to obtain two or more lasing wavelengths on pumping with an N, laser.Q7A sixchannel flat-plate quartz dye cell has been used in a similar pumping arrangement to select specific dyes.ss This cell offers advantages over the rotating carousel because of a larger pumping area, more effective stirring, and a large dye reservoir (which reduces photodecomposition). Dye lasers of narrow bandwidth O Q s looare required for high-resolution spectral studies and selective photochemical excitation. In one example, peak powers of 50 kW in the visible at linewidths down to 6 x nm have been reported for a pressure-tuned, dye laser oscillator with an external interferometer and twostage amplifier pumped by a 1 MW N2laser.lo0 Theoretical analysis of dye-laser pumping has shown that only the singlet manifold needs to be considered in kinetic studieslO1 and that a rate equation, agreeing with experimental measurements, can be based on a study of the effects of pump radiation on singlet state absorption and fluorescence quantum yield.lo2 Laser Dyes. Many hundreds of fluorescent dyes have been examined for laser action, and only a few reports of these can be mentioned here. U.V. lasers, which are much needed for photochemical work, are still few and far between although a review, with useful references to Russian work, lists 30 flashlamppumped dyes lasing between 330 and 400nm.lo3 POPOP remains the most efficient dye in the vapour phase, producing radiation tunable from 380 to 410 nm.104-10s Unfortunately, the gain reaches a maximum well before the M.

This premature termination, attributed to photodeconiposition, is a severe limitation to high overall efficiency.lo4 Tables of lasing dyes with output wavelengths < 440 nm lo6and between 420 and 750 nni lo7have been published. Several new coumarin derivatives have been reported,lo8,logsome of which have superior thermo-optical properties with flashlamp pumping and lasing with high efficiency between 450 and 520 nm.lo8 A useful study of photodegradation of 7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarinin ethanol showed that two chemically different reaction routes could be identified.l1° One of these routes leads to compounds which lase and the other to a substance which absorbs at the laser wavelength. Although oxygen is usually employed to quench the triplet state, in this case addition causes formation of the laser-inhibiting compound. Improved performance could be obtained by adding a non-oxidizable tripletstate quencher, replacing the CH, group on the coumarin by a less reactive CF3 group, and removing the inhibitor by appropriate chemical filtering. A comprehensive review on the lasing properties of 4-methylun~belliferone(lasing range 390-560 nm) includes other related coumarins.lll Laser action in trans-l,l,4,4-tetraphenylbutadiene in cumene shows that at low temperatures (- 80 "C) emission occurs at 435 nm, between -70 and - 80 "Cat both 435 and 498 nm, and at room temperature at 498 nm This behaviour has been attributed to a temperature-dependent photoisomer. Fluorol 7GA dye, if sufficiently purified, is a stable lasing material for the region 530-600 nrn.ll3 Chemical impurities in Rh6G [Cl-] decrease the quantum efficiency of fluorescence and shorten the usable lifetime of any lasing Other studies with this popular lasing dye include relaxation kinetics of dimerization 115and lasing properties in polyacrylonitrile polymers.l16 Studies of the lasing properties of Kiton red S and rhodamine B dyes with both long- and short-pulse excitation have shown how the performance is strongly influenced by substituents bonded to the C-9 of the main c h r o m ~ p h o r e . ~ ~ ~ Population inversion is difficult to achieve with cresyl violet, and optical filtering procedures designed to lower the laser threshold have been described.l18 Mixing the dye with RhGG produces efficient lasing between 646 and 700 nni because of transfer of excitation attributed to depletion by stimulated emission of population in an upper laser At longer wavelengths, efficient (211%) emission between 838 and 923 nm has been reported for various polymethine dyes pumped by a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser,119and a range of lo' J.

dyes useful between 71&1080 nm was discovered with a Q-switched ruby laser as the pump source.120 A dye laser pumped by a pulse train from a mode-locked solid-state laser can emit short pulses coincidental in time with pumping pulses when the relative cavity lengths are mafched.l2l Recent work using Fabry-Perot tuning elements showed that transform-limited (12 ps) pulses covering a broad spectral tuning range (549-727 nm) could be generated with high efficiency in several laser dyes.121 By choosing a cavity of correct photon cavity decay time (e.g. 60 ps) and by controlling the level of pumping, it is possible to obtain high repetition rate, tunable, dye-laser pulses of subnanosecond duration from N,-laser-pumped dyes in the near U.V.and visible.122 Narrow-band ps pulses have been generated in an ultrashort (50 pm) cavity of rhodamine B pumped by a 530 nm modelocked Nd 1 a ~ e r . lDouble ~~ mode-locked operation occurs in mixtures of Rh6G and cresyl violet resulting in an ultrashort pulse at 574 nm followed by one at 644nm.124 A novel system for generating a single tunable high-power ps pulse involves passing a mode-locked dye-laser train through a dye amplifier which is pumped by a N2 1 a ~ e r . lAs ~ ~the amplifier gain is only available for a few ns, only one pulse in the train is amplified. Other reports of mode-locked pulses include the injection locking of a mode-locked high-power train to a (low-power) mode-locked CW laser to improve laser optical properties,126and the use of a mode-locked Arf laser to pump a dye and obtain < 500 ps (detector-limited) ~u1ses.l~~ Solid-state Lasers.-Ruby and neodymium lasers remain the most powerful and useful solid-state lasers and major developments have been directed towards more efficient harmonic conversion (see next section). CaLaS0AP:Nd [Ca2La7.,,Nd,.,,(Si0,),0,1 has been evaluated as a replacement for Nd:YAG in high repetition rate 1060 nm Q-switched laser systems; it was shown to operate at an average power of >1 J at 30Hz.12* Developments in electro-optic and other switches, particularly for single-pulse extraction from a mode-locked train, include descriptions of a multichannel laser-triggered spark gap which will switch up to 10 kV in five channels with a risetime of <300 ps;129a lithium niobate Pockels ce11;130 a Kerr cell with a risetime of 100 ps;131and a method for pulse selection by use of a laser-initiated Krytron-switched Blumlein structure which replaces the usual spark gap.132 In the latter example, the result is an r.f. noise-free pulse selector with a risetime of a few ns.

13 dye-laser beam for switching a single pulse from a mode-locked train is distinguished by a low threshold peak power (2 kW) and 5 pJ pulse energy.133 Passive Q-switching of a neodymium laser has been achieved with india ink 134 and nickel diethiene.135 In the latter case, recovery times were found to be solventdependent and as short as 25 ps in ethyl sulphide. Picosecond pulse generation from a frequency-tripled Nd laser (at 353 nm) has been A novel application of photoconductivity produced by ps pulses in silicon has been to switch electrical signals as large as 1.5 kV which have been used in turn to drive a travelling-wave Pockels cell for efficient optical switching with a measured risetime of about 25 ps.13' Frequency Conversion.-Conversion efficiencies of third harmonic generation with Nd lasers in alkali-metal vapours have been improved from 0.1 to 10% with a phase-matched mixture of rubidium and xenon.138 The conversion efficiency is limited by experimental difficulties in attaining high metal-vapour pressures 138 or buffer gas pressures.139 Coherent radiation around 189.5 and 179.8 nm was obtained by frequency-mixing two tunable dye lasers,14oand a review by the same researchers discusses how resonant enhancement of cubic nonlinearities in atomic vapours can be used to provide tunable radiation in both the vacuum-u.v. and near4.r. by sum and difference mixing.141 A number of non-linear crystals for frequency conversion have been investigated and some offer better performance than either ADP or KDP. Lithium perchlorate trihydrate, for example, is transparent to 210nm light and will efficiently convert 530nm into 265 nm at power densities less than 100 MW cm-2.142 Unlike ADP and KDP this material does not need an oven since its refractive indices are not temperature-dependent. At low power levels, lithium formate monohydrate crystal has been reported to produce third harmonic radiation from an Nd laser at about three times the efficiency of ADP.143 Rubidium dihydrogen phosphate (RDP) is one of the more attractive crystals for frequency-tripling of Nd lasers because of its high efficiency (21%) and high damage thresh01d.l~~ Potassium pentaborate crystals show excellent transmission to 200 nm and would appear to be an ideal candidate for SHG with dye lasers. No optical damage for focused fundamental light at 450 nm was found at 1 GW cm-2,146 and a conversion efficiency of 9.2% has been reported at 217nm for a peak power of 15 kW at 434.2 n111.l~~ K.

The most efficient SHG crystal for the Nd fundamental is claimed to be CDA, which at 50 MW pump power converts 57% into 530 nni radiation.lq7 CD*A lq7 and RDAlq8are the next best contenders with conversion efficiencies of 45 and 34%, respectively. An overall conversion efficiency of 15% for frequency-quadrupling an Nd:YAG laser has been achieved with a CDA-ADP cascade.lq9 The most efficient crystal for ruby lasers has been reported to be RDA, which has a maximum loss-free power conversion efficiency of 58%.160 A number of devices have been described for tuning dye lasers, including birefringent Fabry-Perot etalons 151 and pressure tuning.lo0S162s 153 The latter method is claimed to have many advantages 153 for high-resolution outputs. For example, a frequency-doubled oscillator-amplifier dye-laser system gave a fundamental output power of about 6 MW with a spectral width of ~ 0 . 0 0 3 nm at 564 nm and a second harmonic at 282 nm of 0.6 MW peak power and bandwidth <0.0015 nm with pressure tuning.163 Very rapid tuning of a dye laser over a limited bandwidth (15 nm) has been achieved by applying an r.f. signal at 100 MHz to a KD*P tuning c r y ~ t a 1 . l ~ ~ The short-pulse output from a synchronously mode-locked tunable dye laser was sum- and difference-mixed in KDP, ADP, and LiIO, with the 1064 and 532nm pulses from its mode-locked Nd:YAG pump. This method produced efficient generation of narrow bandwidth tunabIe short pulses in the U.V. from 270 to 432 nm and in the i.r. from 1.13 to 5.6 pm.lsS Tunable i.r. radiation from 500 urn to 1 mm 156 and 1.4 to 4 pm ls7was obtained by frequency-mixing in a LiNb03 crystal, and from 854 to 1410 nm 168 using CDA pumped from a doubled Nd:YAG laser. At much longer wavelengths, tunable stimulated electronic Raman scattering and 11.7-15 pm;15@upwas observed in the ranges 2.5-4.75, 5.67-8.65, conversion in Cd-Se using an HF laser can cover the range 8-25 pm,lS0and far4.r. radiation (95 cm-l) was generated by different frequency-mixing with a spin-flip laser.lal 1521

Further developments have been reported on the use of acousto-optic filters as a restricted range monochromator (see Vol. 6, p. 77). In one case, a commercially available CaMoO, crystal was incorporated in a rapid scanning spectrometer covering the wavelength range 450-750 nm at a bandwidth between 0.2 and 0.6 nm.177 Although the transmission of this device was only comparable to that of an j74 monochromator, the stray light was naturally high but could be eliminated electronically by transmission modulation or phasesensitive detection of the output signal. The transmission of the filter can be switched in 20 ps and modulation frequencies up to 25 kHz are attainable without loss of transmission.

Even though filters have large inherent throughput advantages over grating and prism spectrometers, they cannot compete either with the frequency-scanning facility of these instruments or with the fact that high resolution (< 2 cm-l) has only been achieved with non-filter devices. Recently, however, filters have been produced lSowith extremely narrow bandwidths (0.2 cm-l), high transmission (50%), and, most important, the facility to scan over a broad range (k 10%of the central wavelength) by simply tilting the filter several degrees with respect to the incident radiation axis.

Stratospheric i.r. absorption spectra taken on airborne experiments with Concorde were used to measure NO, NO2, and HN03 concentrations.26a Two-photon Absorption Techniques.-Two-photon absorption experiments have increased considerably in number during the past few years, and high sensitivities have been reported when fluorescence was used for detection. Possible sources of error, due in part to the effect of spatial and temporal variations of the laser beam, have been 264 A new spectrometer relying on direct two-photon absorption (as opposed to two-photon excitation) uses two TEMoo laser beams propagating in opposite directions through a sample.263 A tunable pulsed dye laser generates a powerful beam which is crossed by a continuous krypton ion laser, providing a constant-frequency probe beam. The two-photon absorptivity of diphenylbutadiene at 29 259 cm-l reported with this spectrometer was as high as cm4s photon-l molecule-1, indicating the presence of a previously undetected -A, excited state as the lowest excited singlet state for this molecule. The two-photon absorption spectrum of biphenyl and bridged biphenyls in CCl, has been reported; direct absorption and excitation techniques were A highly polarized pulsed dye-laser pulse (covering the range 425-700 nm) was passed through a Glan polarizer and into a fluorescence cell. Scattered fluorescence was detected with a sodium salicylate-coated56AVP photomultiplier tube. The laser beam subsequently passed through Fresnel rhombs which caused the polarization of the light entering the second cell to remain linear or to become right-or-left circular. The second photomultiplier monitoring this cell was identical with the first. The beam was finally monitored with a flat response photodiode. These polarization measurements were used to allow the strong two-photon absorptions to be assigned without resort to any subsidiary vibrational analysis.264 Two-photon absorption measurements by excitation have also been made on crystalline [2,2]-para~yclophane,~~~ benzene and [2H6]benzene,266 and solids at 265 256 257

22 Photochemistry low A technique for simple measurements of two-photon absorption coefficients involves comparison with a reference sample and use of a reference channel to eliminate any dependency on laser intensity or spatial and temporal profile.268 A technique called ‘optical-optical double resonance’ (OODR), in which barium oxide is sequentially excited by two lasers, is a special case of two-photon spectrometry involving excitation of a molecule via a real intermediate level.2sg Photoacoustic Spectroscopy.-Optoacoustic (or photoacoustic) spectroscopy has been mentioned previously (Vol. 5 , p. 226; Vol. 7, p. 82) in applications dealing with concentration measurements or the study of radiationless transitions in gases. Although this technique was discovered in 1881, its recent applicability to absorption spectra of solids, semi-solids, and living tissues has prompted one recent review to state that it ‘may prove to be one of the most important spectroThe reader is referred to recent reviews scopic innovations of the 1970’~’.~~O for the theoretical aspects of the technique 272 and illustrations of its 273 Since photoacoustic spectroscopy is unaffected by light scattering, it is possible to obtain absorption spectra from t.1.c. plates274and biological materials, including whole blood smears.275 Applications of this technique to the steady-state and time-resolved photochemistry of solids and light-scattering solutions are obvious.

A kinetic method for following changes in c.d. with time has been used to follow structural changes which are known to occur in haemoglobin on A rapid the reversible photodissociation of CO bound to the modulator (50 kHz) altered the polarization of the analysing beam and a pulsed dye laser was used for photolysis. The system was reported to be sensitive to occurring in 1 ms. Rapid measurements of changes in polarization of 2 x optical rotation changes in the presence of large absorbance changes, described with a stopped-flow technique,285are obviously applicable to flash photolysis. In this case, the time resolution is related to sensitivity and is 10 ps at 0.018" sensitivity and 4 ms at 0.0016". A high-resolution c.d. spectrometer was constructed principally to observe the low-temperature m.c.d. spectra of crystals.2ss Use of a photoelastic modulator to provide alternatively right- and left-circularly polarized light in an m.c.d. spectrometer allowed data to be recorded continuously with wavelength.287 In this arrangement, a cavity-dumped tunable dye laser was synchronized to the modulator and gated signal amplification enabled weak dichroic signals to be recorded at a higher S/N ratio. Other papers include details of a magnetic circular polarization spectrometer which uses an Ar+ laser,288and modifications to a Jouan c.d. spectrometer for low-temperature m.c.d. measurements.289 The determination of linear dichroism (between 325 and 695 nm) on a modified single-beam spectrometer following flash excitation allowed orientation and spectral characteristics of chromophores in isolated cells to be recorded over a A photoelectric polarimeter has been described which time-scale of relies on synchronous detection of light signals modulated by a rotating p01arizer.~~~ Experiments with light-scattering materials showed that very weak fluxes of polarized light and light with a small degree of polarization (up to could be measured. 6 Preparative Techniques There is little doubt that laser-induced photochemistry is a potentially valuable method for enhancing isotopic abundances for many of the light elements and, in some cases, for selective decompositions or 293 An overview of laser processes with emphasis on the use of visible lasers to enrich chlorine isotopes 294 is a useful introduction to this technique.

Irradiation of a reaction mixture of ICl and BrHC=CHBr causes a dramatic change in the 35Cl to 37Cl ratio corresponding to a 37Cl content of 85% in the transCIHC=CHCl p h o t o p r ~ d u c t .In ~ ~this ~ work, an intracavity absorption technique used an absorption cell containing 135Clinside the cavity of a broad-band dye laser, thereby removing those unwanted output frequencies that can excite 1 3 T l in an external reaction mixture, and requiring no prior knowledge of the high-resolution spectrum of the molecule being excited. Other examples include separation of 12C/13Cisotopes by selective predissociation of HCHO using a frequency-doubled dye laser;296separation of 14N/15Nand 12C/13Cisotopes in sym-tetrazine vapour with a CW dye laser,297and alteration of chlorine isotopic abundances of t h i o p h o ~ g e n e .Concentrations ~~~ of loB in mixtures of BCl, and H2S were increased from 19.5 to 29.2% following irradiation with a CO, laser.299 Highly selective isotopic separation of deuterium has been demonstrated in laser-irradiated formaldehyde mixtures of H 2 C 0 and HDCO,,OO using a CW He-Cd laser at 325.03 nm. In this case, the laser was locked to a frequency suitable for isotope separation by virtue of coincidence between the laser emission and a molecular absorption wavelength, avoiding possible frequency instability or drift problems. Enrichment of 104-foldfor 15N and 13Chas been achieved by irradiating sym-tetrazine in benzene at 1.8 K with an N,-laser-pumped dye laser.3o1 Although the technique is still in its infancy, preparative chemistry using lasers rather than thermal excitation could well prove to be an ideal method for synthesizing specific p h o t o p r o d u ~ t s .For ~ ~ ~example, a mixture of BC13 and H2 irradiated with a pulsed CO, laser yielded BHCI, and HCl as the only The reaction was characterized by a large quantum yield of about 122 photons at 10.6 pm per BHCI, molecule.

Optically active 1,2-dithiane is produced in a hydrocarbon glass at 77 K by photolysis with circularly polarized light.310 Irradiation in a solid matrix at low temperatures minimized spontaneous racemization.

One proposed solution is a magnetic device which causes Teflon-coated magnetic bars in the irradiation tubes to perform up-and-down motion with intermediate trembling phases.319 Glass filters for this photoreactor have also been An all-glass system with two reservoirs containing reactants which may be mixed in accurate amounts is a useful reaction vessel for fluorescence and other measurements at various concentration^.^^^

The A-100 diode can be used for absorption measurements between 450 and 3200 nm, has an output linear to at least 2 mA and a &98% response time of about 60 ns.325 The multiplication of a photocurrent in reverse-biased p-n junctions can be regarded as the solid-state analogue of photomultipliers. In both cases, photons can trigger avalanches leading to electrical pulses in an external circuit. Alloyed Ge diodes, slightly biased above breakdown voltages at 77 K, have been shown to produce self-sustaining avalanche pulses for individual photons in the range 1.2-1.8 pm with a risetime of less than 1 ns.326 Photomultipliers are usually insensitive above about 1 pm, although there is a recent report of an Ag-O-Cs photocathode with an enhanced i.r. sensitivity (threshold 1.25 pm) and average luminous sensitivity of about 30 PA lm.327In the near-i.r., high-sensitivity InSb detectors 328 and PbSnTe have been discussed and a new class of detectors based on LaF, has been An ultralow noise voltage preamplifier and bias current supply for the CdHgTe photodetector has been described.330 One interesting application of the quasimetallic photoconductivity produced in silicon transmission lines by mode-locked laser pulses are electronic gates and switches which can be turned on and off in a few picoseconds. Electrical signals as large as 100 V can be switched by a few pJ of optical energy.331 Mode-locked pulses have also been used to investigate the performance of a fast vacuum ph~todiode.~~~ Photodiode arrays (discussed earlier in Vol. 6 , p. 91) have been reassessed in an authoritative article which points out their limitations in terms of restricted sensitivity (compared to photomultiplier tubes) and wavelength coverage (with reasonable spectral resolution) and comments that effective and inexpensive solutions are not close at hand.333 Nevertheless, a self-scanning semiconductor array in the electron bombardment induced mode has been shown to be capable a23

of detecting single electrons and predicted to have a sensitivity close to the theoretical limit if incorporated in a photoelectronic Reviews on arrays and their applications 335 discuss the mechanisms of charge storage. Photodiode arrays have been used in a rapid scanning spectrometer 336 and to measure the beam cross-section, two-photon fluorescence, and Kerr cell photographs of single picosecond Photomultipliers.-A useful review of high-sensitivity photomultipliers has appeared which includes a discussion of pulse versus d.c. detection in a publication aimed at astrophysical applications 338 but which is relevant to fluorescence spectrometry and fluorometry. Transit time fluctuations of photoelectrons in the cathode-first dynode space due to their initial kinetic energy spread form one of the fundamental limitations of time resolution of photomultipliers used in single photoelectron time measurements, A synchrotron radiation source (which provides a continuum with a duration independent of photon energy) has revealed a considerable wavelength Irradiation of the central 2 mm part of this effect with the RCA 8850 photomultiplier with this light produces an increase in risetime from 0.4 to 0.55 ns as the wavelength is reduced from 550 to 350 nni.339 The main factor contributing to this time spread with incident wavelength is the difference in path lengths for secondary electrons emitted at the first dynode. Dark noise is the principal limitation to sensitivity to photomultipliers and is especially significant with red-sensitive tubes where the dark noise is greatly increased by the high level of thermionic emission from the cathode. Noise reduction may be accomplished by cooling the photomultiplier 340 or by magnetic d e f o c u ~ i n g .In ~ ~the ~ latter case, an external magnetic field will deflect electrons from the edge of the cathode away from the electron multiplier (in an end-on tube such as the RCA 8850 and 8852). Although significant improvements in dark count can be found for these tubes, the usefulness of the magnetic defocusing technique is limited by the production of a ‘fringe’ area on the photocathode in which the overall counting efficiency varies rapidly with position and in which the pulse height distribution is degraded. Typical noise levels of 5 C.P.S. with a cathode area of 1 cm2 were obtained with the 8852 tube at -25 “C at a counting efficiency of 0.91.341A number of reports have been made of enhanced dark currents induced by short bursts of light. Incident irradiances as low as 0.14pWcm-2 (at 605 nm) and lasting only a few microseconds produce a significant enhancement in dark noise of a 56TUVP tube in the few hundreds of microseconds following removal of the signal from the cathode.342 Quantitive S.

measurements have also been made with the EM1 9558 Fluorescence and phosphorescence in photoinultiplier window materials induced by charged particle irradiation (e.g. the radiation environment of space) can be significant and alter dark count rates. The phosphorescence decay can last from several minutes to several Afterpulse spectra of a photomultiplier tube used for photon counting have been determined with a simple experiment technique.345Fatigue characteristics of RCA 8850, 8852 and EM1 9558, 9658 and 9659 tubes have been investigated at low anode currents, and stabilization of photomultiplier gain was suggested as one solution to combat fatigue Measurements of the variation in sensitivity and reflection coefficients of the photocathode of a 9558 tube have been made with changes in the angle of the incident light beam.347 Operation of a 1P28 tube with only four dynodes and an interdynode voltage of 250 yielded a risetime of only 360 ps with a linear range in anode current extending to 8 mA.348 This performance should be compared to that of fast photodiodes (risetimes typically 100 ps) and a recently reported gated crossed-field photomultiplier (risetime 1 ns).349 A further investigation of the quantum efficiency of sodium salicylate showed it to be constant (to within +8%) from 10 to 60 nm, enabling the material to be used with a photomultiplier as a wavelength converter in the vacuum-u.v.350 Pulsed lasers and light sources are often used in luminescence and absorption studies. Since the duty cycle of these sources is often low, the detection electronics should only respond for a short time interval around this pulse in order to improve the S/N ratio. For example, the output of an N,-laser-pumped dye laser might consist of 5 ns pulses at a repetition rate of 10 Hz. With photomultiplier risetimes of a few ns, photon counting could not be used except at very low light levels (less than about 1 photoelectron per pulse) without avoiding pulse pile-up. It is, therefore, necessary to integrate the charge from the photomultiplier and use a gating technique. Even a slow gate (e.g. 10 ps operating at 10 Hz) will reduce the background noise from a typical low-noise, high-gain tube to 1 photoelectrons-l. A simple analogue gate has been described and used in combination with an electrometer/ratemeter to measure small pulsed signals in the presence of a large d.c. photoelectron background.351 A similar principle (using a 100 ps gate at 50 Hz) is employed in a boxcar integrator and filter fluorimeter (Section 8). Photomultipliers in liquid scintillation counters are a particular source of instability due to variation of gain with temperature, tube current, and aging. An interesting paper has described the use of a small light-emitting diode placed directly in front of the photomultiplier and in the line of the normal collection 343

Direct measurement of In(I,/&) in kinetic spectrophotometric determinations of atomic species without imposing limitations on time resolution has been achieved by use of a rapid response logarithmic circuit connected to the output of a solar blind photomultiplier Devices to measure photomultiplier current gain of side-window tubes 354 and simultaneous determination of both anode current and pulse counting 355 have been described.

Calibration of U.V. standard lamps which emit a line spectrum (e.g. Hg) was based on comparison with the output of a synchrotron whose relative spectral intensity is A new approach to radiant power measurenients used a continuously tunable CW dye laser to measure the absolute spectral response of a silicon photodiode and narrow bandpass filter by comparison with an electrically calibrated pyroelectric detector. The filtered photodetector was subsequently used to measure the spectral power density of a standard lamp previously calibrated by a classical technique.372 Pyroelectric detectors are finding more and more use for radiometric measurements, including 3 ns pulses in the U.V. to visible with powers from a few pW to mW 373 and as a reference in a commercial fluorescence Accurate measurements of radiative flux require that measurements are independent of the way in which the flux enters the detector (because of nonuniform sensitivity). Integrating spheres are commonly used to present polychromic light to a detector, and a new design has been described covering the range 200-3000 nm which uses a powdered fluorocarbon (G-80 Halon manufactured by Allied Chemical, U.S.P. 3 764 363) as a reflecting wall coating. The sphere transmittance is 0.32 at 200 nm, rising rapidly with wavelength to a nearmaximum theoretical value of 0.56 over the remainder of the range.374 The reflectance of the fluorocarbon varies from 0.93 at 200 nm to 0.99 at 400 nm, and it exhibits some fluorescence 375 which must be considered when using u.v.-rich sources.

saturation Although this is no more accurate than the chemical method ( + 5 % ) , it is more convenient and precise. Photoreaction should be suitable for a convenient and exact chemical actinometer if its rate law is easy to calculate and if the time-dependent change of product concentration can be measured in a simple way with high accuracy. The former can be determined for the photoisomerization of azobenzene in methanol by application of the ‘linear interpolation method’ and the latter by U.V. Advantages of this method which have been proposed include insensitivity to oxygen and preirradiation with stray light, and lack of extensive sample preparation. Further work is clearly needed to check these claims. The now-classical ferrioxalate actinometer has been shown to be suitable for measuring N2laser pulses 381 but to be unsuitable for use above 570 nm, even with intense laser pulses, because of two-photon-induced photo~hernistry.~~~ Decafluorobenzophenone in propan-2-01 solution (proposed as an actinometer in Chern. Cornm., 1970, 1413) has been found to exhibit a decomposition which depends on both wavelength and light and is not a suitable a ~ t i n o m e t e r33* .~~~~ Good evidence has been presented to justify use of a chemical actinometer instead of the more usual photoelectronic methods to measure both CW and pulsed laser intensities.385 The chemical reaction involved in this actinometer is the tris-(2,2’-bipyridine)ruthenium(11) sensitized photo-oxidation of tetramethylethylene (TME) in methanol. Radiation is absorbed by the intensely orange-coloured ruthenium compound which is quenched by dissolved oxygen to form lo2which, in turn, is consumed by the TME. Oxygen uptake is read directly from a burette at an efficiency of 0.76 moles O2 per Einstein. The observed quantum yield is constant to within 5% over the range 280-560 nm. Although the upper wavelength limit is relatively low for laser work, the authors suggest use of other metal complexes or organic dyes which they predict will extend the range to > 1000 nm.386 An electronically integrating actinometer uses a beam splitter to direct part of a U.V. beam to be measured to a quantum counter cell and part through a sample cell onto a second quantum counter cell.386 Silicon photodiodes are used to record the light output of the two fluorescent cells. A comparison with ferrioxalate actinometry showed good agreement at wavelengths of 254, 280, 313, and 366nm. Possible sources of error not discussed by the authors include corrections for reflected light in the sample cell (Vol. 5, p. 96), changes of penetration with wavelength (and hence solid angle observed by the silicon detector) for the quantum counter (see ref. 405), and sample fluorescence.

A more conventional instrument was used to record the ratio of diffuse to direct solar irradiances in the middle U . V . ~ ~ ~ Miscellaneous.-Information gleaned from numerous other references to photodetectors and their applications include work on the deposition of an s-1 (Ag-0-Cs) type photocathode onto a diffraction grating substrate to provide a significant enhancement in quantum efficiency at pre-selected frequencies for specified light angles of incidence ;389 quantum efficiency measurements of electron multipliers between 120 and 240 nm;390and a report that the human eye can respond to radiation at wavelengths at least as far as 1064 nm. In the latter case, continuous 1064nm laser light appeared red but a 1060nm pulsed laser source appeared green, which suggested the occurrence of second harmonic generation in the retina.391 An electro-optic technique has been used to study the flash discharge products of N2-C mixtures. CN radicals were examined in emission, and a 20 nm portion of the spectrum was dispersed by a Czerny-Turner spectrograph.

8 Fluorescence and Phosphorescence Spectrometry The popularity of fluorescence and phosphorescence analysis is illustrated by the 1200 references contained in a biennial review covering the period 19731975.400 Although many of the references covered applications in organic and inorganic chemistry and biology, instrumentation, methods, and techniques illustrated the increasing use of lasers as excitation sources.

U.v.-Visible Fluorescence Spectrometry.-It is worrying that nearly all commercial and many home-made fluorescence spectrometers have such poorly designed excitation optics that correct excitation spectra (which at low concentrations should mimic singlet absorption spectra) would not be obtainable over any moderate wavelength range. The principal cause of this defect is use of nonachromatic lens systems, which can produce appreciable changes in focal length with wavelength, especially in the U.V. Even certain types of mirror system are not fully corrected for optical aberrations. Good image quality (within limits) may be obtained with an in-line Cassegrainen arrangement which uses a concave mirror (with a central hole) and a convex Two fluorescence spectrometers using this arrangement have been described. In one designed for highly concentrated or light-scattering solutions, fluorescence is collected from the dark cone within the extension of the converging excitation beam.40aIn this way, no excitation light can reach the analysing system although scattering requires the use of low-light-scattering monochromators (double-prism). Extensive details of the design of an absolute fluorescence spectrometer employing Cassegrainentype reflecting objectives 403 have been given in a description of an optically fast fluorescence spectrometer. Distribution of fluorescence around the cuvette could be obtained by mounting the emission monochromator on a goniometer arm. Light losses with a Cassegrainen system due to the central obstruction of the beam, however, can amount to 28%,exclusive of reflective losses, which could not be tolerated in any fast spectrometer. The other principal defect in spectrometers provided with a corrected excitation arrangement is the use of a quartz plate beam-splitter, because of changes in reflectivity and polarization with wavelength. One method of eliminating this is to use a rotating mirror which alternatively irradiates a quantum counter and allows excitation light to be reflected from a stationary mirror before exciting a sample.4o4 A more practicable static arrangement is to deflect a small and representative part of the excitation beam to the quantum counter cell. Changes in penetration depth (and hence light collection) and polarization with wavelength for rhodamine B quantum counters have led to the development of a mushroomshaped cell.405Passage of the excitation light through a long cylindrical entrance tube of dye ensured that only a central cone of rays passed straight through. The hemispherical rear portion avoids losses due to any diverging effect and bends some of the rays towards the detector. A comparison of the mushroom cell with a 400

A double-beam, singlephotomultiplier fluorescence spectrometer has been suggested as a means of improving the stability of a normal two-detector instrument to better than k 1% over a 10 min period.408In this case, a rotating mirror was used to deflect excitation light alternately on to a scatterer or quantum counter. Signal Processing.-Computer processing of the output of the high-resolution luminescence spectrometer described earlier (Vol. 5, p. 103) enables wavelength calibration, dark count correction data smoothing, and curve presentation to be made as well as corrected emission spectra by reference to a standard lamp.4o9 A luminescence spectrometer interfaced to a digital computer will record excitation, emission, and detailed three-dimensional Prompt and delayed fluorescence of 1 ,Zbenzanthracene has been recorded at low temperatures using a chopped xenon lamp for excitation.4f1 Although a CW laser would usually be considered for spectral measurements because of the simplicity of a d.c. detection system, repetitive pulsed lasers (especially flashlamp-pumped or N,-laser-pumped dye lasers) are often cheaper and have a wider tuning range. Repetitive signals produced by such lasers may be processed by means of a gated boxcar integrator, and an excellent introductory article describes the principles and applications of this device.412 Examples of the application of this pulsed technique to fluorescence may be found in papers dealing with the detection of aflatoxins (0.2 ng) adsorbed on t.1.c. the spectrum of CrO,,Cl, ;414 high-resolution emission spectra of sym-tetrazine at 1.8 K;415 Rh6G (at concentrations as low as M) 416 and quinine sulphate and A somewhat similar gated technique is used in a novel filter fluorimeter which uses a low-power (7.5 W) repetitive flashlamp for excitation.418 406 407 408 409

Derivative techniques can be used in cases where a sacrifice in S/N ratio is justified to increase A combination of synchronous and detectability of minor spectral derivative fluorescence spectrometry has been suggested as a method for characterizing materials with featureless spectra (e.g. crude Synchronous measurements involve a continuous scan of excitation and emission wavelengths separated by a constant increment, and the determination of spectral distributions as a function of this wavelength increment.421 Accurate quantum yield measurements are fundamental to a photophysical characterization of a fluorescent material. However, absolute values are subject to a number of potential errors including (i) polarization effects, (ii) fluorescence reabsorption, (ii) internal reflections in the cell, (iv) detector calibration, (v) refractive index effects, and (vi) variation of absorbance with instrument source bandwidth. Most of these problems may be circumvented through use of a so-called integrating sphere fluorimeter where errors due to (i) and (v) are largely eliminated, and errors from (ii) and (iii) are also eliminated by extrapolation to zero absorbance.422The detection system now becomes the sphere, monochromator, and photodetector, which can be calibrated against a standard lamp.

Other Luminescence Equipment and Techniques.-A fluorescence spectrometer designed for measurement of weakly fluorescent biological materials has been reported. It uses a conventional xenon source and double monochromator for excitation, with the sample mounted on an X- Y table; photon counting was also A tunable dye laser producing 358-641 nm light was employed as an excitation source in a new type of fluorescence spectrometer in which a single modified monochromator was used as both the laser source and scanning monochromator for emission.44o In addition to the biennial review cited earlier,4ooa report of the 1975 Tokyo conference on luminescence 441 covers all basic theoretical and experimental aspects of luminescence phenomena in both inorganic and organic materials, with an emphasis on the former. Thermoluminescence flow spectra are widely used to investigate carrier traps both in dielectrics and semiconductors. Two vacuum-operating thermoluminescence spectrometers (of high light collection efficiency) have been described; they possess sufficient thermal insulation to enable samples to be placed 15 mm from the light detector even if samples are heated to 500 "C or cooled to - 157 0C.442A real-time display of luminescence from tin oxide single crystals over the range 480-670 nm was obtained with a low monochromator equipped with a PAR optical multichannel a n a l y ~ e r . ~ ~ ~ Laser-induced fluorescence has been used in an interesting application of laser Doppler v e l ~ c i m e t r y .Fluorescence ~~~ detection has the advantage of eliminating all scattered laser light (by optical filtering), allowing a more accurate determination of particle Measurements of fluorescein in a flow line (at sensitivities greater than 5 p.p.b. in water) have been made on a simple filter fluorimeter using a cadmium sulphide photoresistor as a detector.446 Rapid changes in chlorophyll a fluorescence intensity, which occur within the first few moments of illumination in all photosynthetic plants (the Kautsky effect), have been measured using a red LED (emitting at 670 nm) and a phototransistor as a Front-surface illumination has been applied to measurements of oat The collection cultivars447and the contents of a 1 mm diameter micr0ce11.~~* efficiency of a front-surface arrangement has been improved using an ellipsoid mirror with a photomultiplier installed directly at the second focal point.449 4R7 @dB

Instabilities in the output of an Aminco fluorimeter have been attributed to large random changes in the lamp intensity and solved (5% variation in 12 h) with a constant voltage power A more significant paper reveals that a 150 W Eimac illuminator (a miniature high-pressure xenon arc lamp with an integral collimating mirror) used in the Aminco instrument will give three times the photon flux of a standard xenon lamp in an ellipsoidal condensing system when used above 350 nm.451 The spectral range of a Farrand Mk I fluorimeter has been extended to 850 nm and modifications suggested for this instrument by use of an R446 enable single-beam absorption spectra to be determined at - 180 0C.463A continuous flow He cryostat has been described for use in luminescence Applications of Fluorescence.-Novelty in technique or method has been used as a criteria for inclusion in this section of examples of fluorescence applications in photochemistry. Space limitations do not permit a comprehensive review. The resonance-fluorescence method is not only very sensitive because many photons per second can be resonantly scattered from each individual atom, but also very selective in that only specific transitions are observed. This enables detection of rare atoms even in the presence of another material.

Applications of i.r. fluorescence are contained in a review which gives details of experimental techniques including laser sources and detector^.^^^ Carbon dioxide lasers are featured as excitation sources in fluorescence measurements of ethylene, propylene, ethanol, and CO and isotopic species at 78 K,601and ethylene in air.602 The i.r. fluorescence of both bromine603 and active nitrogen 604 has been recorded in flow systems.

Phosphorimetry at room temperature has obvious advantages, and one method applicable to a wide variety of ionic aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds of biological and pharmaceutical importance employed filter paper as the support matrix.612 Solutions in ethanol were deposited on 6 mm discs of Eaton Dikeman 613 filter paper which were dried under controlled conditions.

43 Related publications include descriptions of a ‘popsicle’ technique to eliminate sample cells,526a square Dewar-flask assembly for a Farrand fl~orinieter,~~7 and a novel phosphorimeter in which excitation light was introduced through a space-intermitting pattern (e.g. a fine grid) to produce a spatially inhornogeneous d i s t r i b ~ t i o n .In ~ ~this ~ case, changes in delayed fluorescence from anthracene or diphenylanthracene in ethanol with changing dimensions of the pattern agreed with theoretical expectations based on triplet Raman Spectroscopy.-Raman scattering is inherently a weak effect with the scattering approximately the intensity of the exciting radiation. Although laser sources with high spectral purity and intensity have helped, only a small volume can generally be used and there are obvious constraints on the solid angle of scattered light which may be collected by the detection optics. The inverse Raman effect, however, seems to be one non-linear effect capable of solving sensitivity problems. The light beam is absorbed so that low sample concentrations, e.g. gases, can be compensated by longer absorption paths. Fluorescence does not interfere because absorption is on the short-wavelength side of the excitation source and the use of highly polarized laser beams makes measurement of depolarization ratios more accurate. Studies with liquid benzene 529 using a frequency-doubled dye laser as the excitation source and photographic recording of the absorption clearly showed the effectivenessof this technique. Interference in the measurements from two-photon absorption processes and inhomogerieous laser beams was also discussed.

Long-lived (> s) fluorescence in a Raman spectrometer has been suppressed by means of an air-driven dentist drill laser beam chopper at a frequency of 100-400 kHz at a stability of l%.531 Tunable dye laser excitation has been used with gated photon counting to measure Raman scattering and fluorescence 532 and to obtain the resonance Raman spectrum of a stable free radical (DPPH).533 Spectra recorded using an image intensifier coupled to a TV camera and video disc were at a sensitivity 106 times higher than recorded with 3000 ASA Polaroid film.633 The time resolution of Raman spectroscopy is usually limited to the time required to scan a portion of the spectrum with a conventional spectrometer. However, a continuous flow method adapted to acquisition of spectra of reaction intermediates has enabled recording 1 second or later after mixing.634Accessories for b26 527

Conventional Flash Photo1ysis.-More than any other factor, the performance of the photolysis flashlamp is critical in determining both the time resolution and sensitivity of microsecond flash photolysis. Although plasma sources have been studied for years, actual lamp characteristics do not always obey theoretical predictions, especially those derived from conventional pulse-forming net works. A recent dynamic treatment 639 on xenon lamps involved observations that the growth of a flash discharge could take a considerable time and was strongly dependent on the initial discharge voltage. In this and other papers (e.g. J. F. Holzrichter and A. L. Schawlow, Ann. New York Acad. Sci., 1970, 168, 703), the light profile is assumed to follow the current profile, which is not the case for short duration (< 100 ps) lamps where the light output lags behind the electrical input. Far better relationships between actual measurements and theoretical predictions have been obtained 640 by assuming that the instantaneous properties of the plasma are determined simply by the energy stored in the plasma itself. Unpublished work by MorrowS4l confirms this assumption and shows that a linear, xenon-filled flashlamp operated at energies between 75 and 230 J in a circuit of 1.04 pH inductance gave flashes whose duration (between 3.3 and 4 ps) agreed with theory to within 10%. The U.V. output of a linear flashlamp (operated up to 500 J at 10-20 kV) was found to be proportional to input energy and independent of xenon pressure above 50 T ~ r r Reproducible . ~ ~ ~ light output, more reliable triggering, increased lamp life, and enhanced U.V. output were all valid claims made for low-power flashlamps operated repetitively with a simmer mode of operation used in a dye A pulsed power system providing a constant pulse energy at up to 5 Hz in a flashlamp-pumped Nd:YAG laser discharged when this voltage had decayed to the pre-set A rotary spark gap to switch 200 J lamps in a dye laser had a jitter time as low as k 0.7 ps,546 and a high voltage (60 kV) parallel triggering 635

Addition of Zn or Cd to flashlamps can result in a two- to three-fold enhancement in spectral output relative to xenon in the 250-300 nm range but at the expense of a much reduced lamp life (typically 20 shots at 1600 J).664 On the other hand, intense pulses at 228.8 and 326.1 nm with little or no observable background radiation have been generated in a multi-electrode flashlamp filled with 2 Torr of He and the vapour pressure of Cd at temperatures up to 320 0C.655 A multiple-pass monitoring arrangement through a 70 cm cell was required to monitor NH2 in a flash photolysis study of NH2-NO reactions.666 Light at wavelengths not absorbed by NH2 were picked up by a light guide close to the exit slit of the monochromator and used for reference with the pulsed xenon arc lamp. Emission from CH produced by the pulse radiolysis of C2H2 was monitored on a dual beam arrangement in which one monochromator recorded the whole of a molecular band over 7.5 nm (as a reference) and the second only one rotational level in a resolved spectral range of 0.3-0.4 nm.667 Flash photolysis equipment described included a conventional microsecond apparatus,55sa simple cross-beam arrangement to measure triplet absorption in thin polymer a flash spectroscopic system employing a Kerr cell to reduce scattered light for an unjustifiable application,660a vacuum-u.v. apparatus employing a cell with demountable LiF windows,661and a flash pyrolysis apparatus R.

processes in fibre waveguides.57s An N,-laser-pumped dye pulse (from coumarin 120) of 20 kW peak power and 15 nm spectral width is passed through a fibre waveguide, producing a smooth continuum in the visible. The spectral width of the generated continuum depends for fixed fibre lengths on the pump power, and the overall efficiency is very high (> 90%). A time delay of about 95 ns introduced in the system imposes some restriction on time resolution and avoidance of an optical delay in the excitation beam.s7D Cross-sections for absorptions from excited states have been measured using a split-beam arrangement to excite with an N, laser pulse followed by a delayed probe pulse from the same laser.mo More conventional nanosecond apparatus has employed an N, laser with a pulsed xenon monitoring source,581an off-axial (2.5") excitation and monitoring beam arrangement using the fourth harmonic of an Nd laser for excitation,682 and a crossed-beam arrangement using 265 and 353 nm Nd laser radiation to determine triplet quantum yields.583 The latter method measured energy input in relation to standard solutions and relative actinometry and was first used by J. T. Richards and J. K. Thomas (Trans. Faraday SOC.,1970, 66,621). The arrangement for measuring time dependences of transient absorption or emission recorded following a single pulse of radiation (Vol. 6, p. 99) has been improved by scanning the image on a converter camera with a TV camera, storing in a video-disc recorder and transferring, line-by-line, to a Three-dimensional plots of absorbance or emission uersus time and wavelength containing 100 x 100 data points can be displayed.

A frequency-stabilized probe laser operated at C 0 2or NO2 laser frequencies and changes in transmission with time measured photometrically with a monochroniator and HdCdTe detector.586 Chemical applications with more-or-less conventional laser flash photolysis apparatus included studies on internal conversion in gaseous p e n t a ~ e n e , ~ ~ ' transient absorption and emission in stereoisomers of cyanine dyesYKse the decay rate of the uranyl ion as a function of and isomerization of nickel(I1) complexes.6QoA novel method suggested to measure absolute excited singlet absorption spectra of rhodamine involved bleaching the solution C.

49 kinetic study of hydroxyphenoxyl radicals.600 A recent description of a pulsed photolysis-e.s.r. spectrometer system included a criticism of the use of pulsed laser sources for free radical studies.6o1 Steady-state concentrations of radicals are not likely with short pulse lasers, and these excitation sources usually have insufficientpower for U.V. excitation. A pulsed Hg lamp, providing pulse durations from 0.25 to 2.5 ms, was advocated as a more useful source and provided an order of magnitude increase in S/N ratio over a continuous Hg lamp.6o1 Subnanosecond Photophysical Techniques.-Despite the obvious impact which picosecond spectroscopy has made in the past few years on studies of primary processes in chemistry, physics, and biology, this technique is still little used since only a few laboratories are equipped to undertake more than the simplest experiments. Even so, it would be unrealistic in this section to try to cover details of all experimental arrangements published since 1974 since almost every chemical system requires a slightly different arrangement. The reader is referred to a general review on subnanosecond techniquesso2 which covers applications in chemical physics and biophysics and describes the three basic techniques which have evolved, namely probe, optical-gate, and streak-camera. Apart from publications cited here, a collection of papers 603 includes more detailed examples of these techniques. Probe Technique. This is the simplest arrangement for picosecond spectroscopy. A weaker pulse is reflected along a different and variable optical delay path to examine light absorption or scattering as a function of delay time after excitation. The probe pulse may be the fundamental or a harmonic of the excitation laser or frequency-broadened laser pulse (by self-phase modulation). For example, 354 nm laser light was used for excitation and 530 nm light for monitoring to measure the build-up of triplet absorption in nitronaphthalenes 604 and 4-(1-naphthylmethyl)benzophenone.605 A monochromatic probe beam technique with a mode-locked ruby laser was used to monitor the concentration dependence of the stilbene S1lifetime using two-photon absorption to populate this state.606Excitation and monitoring with the mode-locked second harmonic of a ruby laser enabled the triplet lifetime of valerophenone to be measured.6o7 Providing transient lifetimes are shorter than interpulse times, whole trains from mode-locked lasers can be used. The transmission of cryptocyanine as a function of power density was established in this way and the lifetime of this material (estimated to be 16 k 3 ps in methanol) determined with a 300 ps exciting A similar study used 6-7 pulses from a laser train to obtain transient Eo0

absorptions in a polymethine laser dye.soBPolarized probe beams (Vol. 6, p. 105) have been applied to observation of charge-transfer interactions between anthracene and "-diet hylaniline. 610 Vibrational energy relaxation times of coumarin 6 in CCl, have been measured by populating a well-defined vibrational state and probing with the help of a delayed visible pulse which generated transitions to a fluorescent state. In this case, the measured relaxation time was 1.3 -L 0.3 Recovery times of Rh6G have been measured by a somewhat similar technique by preparing molecules in their excited state and probing their return to the ground state.612 Picosecond pulses at 1060 and 530nm were used in a Raman scattering experiment with aliphatic hydrocarbons in which the i.r. pulses were used to excite the stretching modes. The anti-§tokes Raman light was isolated with a spectrometer and integrated with a p h o t ~ m u l t i p l i e r . ~A~ ~new technique to measure fast recovery times of anisotropic absorption saturation used a short pulse from a cavity-dumped CW mode-locked dye laser at 600 nm to induce dichroism by saturating the absorption of molecules aligned parallel to the pump polarization and a weaker (polarized) probe pulse to measure and time-resolve this induced dichroism. The orientation relaxation time of DODCI in ethylene glycol was found to be 3 f 1 ns,613 which is far longer than previous values obtained using high-power lasers (cf. ref. 614). Photoselection was also reported for Rh6G in ethanol using a similar Optical-gate Technique. This technique is applicable to both transient absorption and emission studies and consists of passing the monitoring light of fluorescence through a CS2 cell situated between a crossed polarizer and analyser. If an intense picosecond pulse is also directed through this cell, a short-lived birefringence occurs, effectively 'opening' the gate for a very short time. By delaying the intense pulse by appropriate amounts, both time and intensity profiles may be obtained (with reflection and transmission echelons). A good example of this technique applied to measurements of fluorescent risetimes of eosin and erythrosin used pre-set delay times to build up intensity-time profiles over a few tens of ps.g16 A similar but more accurate measurement of the risetime of erythrosin was obtained by considering the actual correlation time of the optical These measurements showed that vibrational relaxation occurs in less than 1 ps with these dye molecules (cf. ref. 613) (which gives a groundstate relaxation time between 10-60 ps). Fluorescence risetimes of DMAB in solvents of various polarities were measured with a ps gate following excitation with 265 nm radiation.618 Operation of the CS, shutter with relatively low power, high repetition rate (> lo6s-l) pulses from a mode-locked dye laser has also eoP J.-P. a0 T.

A second pulse, at a wavelength within the emission band of the bleachable dye, can rapidly deplete inversion and thus terminate any gain (the first pulse causes population inversion).621 Aperture times can be reproducibly varied from 12 to 60 ps, depending on the recovery time of the dye. Characteristics of this optical amplifier using DODCI as the bleachable dye showed a high gain (> lo2),large extinction ratios (> lo6), and short aperture times.s22 A ‘double-beam’ picosecond spectrometer using two sets of interrogating pulses, one immediately before photolysis and the other coincident with the photolysis single pulse, enabled the sensitivity of real absorbance changes measured with a single pulse to be increased from 0.3 to 0.001 absorbance As an example of the many possible applications of this method, the decay kinetics of tetracene dianions were determined following excitation at 530 nm.623 By far the best known use of the optical-gate technique is simultaneous time and wavelength resolution of transient absorptions using the continuum produced by self-phase modulation as a monitoring source (see Vol. 6, p. 104). Recent studies using the broadband continuum from CCI, involve optical bleaching of solvated electrons 624 and electron localization times.626 Photobleaching and recovery times of DODCI were measured in a similar arrangement with a continuum generated in either H,O or CeH6 by a single 530 nm pulse.626 The novel spectroscopic apparatus described earlier (Vol. 6 , p. 104) which uses a CCI, continuum has been employed to determine excited states of transitionmetal complexes,627transient absorptions in BDN,628and the absorption spectra of excited state of octaethylporphinatotin(1v) dichloride 629 using an OMA to facilitate intensity measurements. A more intense continuum which has very little variation with wavelength has been developed from polyphosphoric acid pumped by the second harmonic of a ruby laser.63o Unlike CCI4 and H20, this N

material is claimed to produce all wavelengths simultaneously (despite known group velocity changes due to the dispersive medium) with little delay at long wavelengths (cf. Chem. Phys. Letters, 1974,27, 31). A good example of a difficult transient absorption to monitor because of an overlap with a strong fluorescence band is the singlet absorption of anthracene, which was observed with a picosecond spectroscopic arrangement using the continuum from polyphosphoric acid. A distance of 3 m was used between the sample cell and spectrograph to minimize any fluorescence interference without losses on the continuum, which has a low beam divergenceas31A further example of this technique in the visible and near4.r. is the singlet absorption spectrum of 9,9’-bianthryl in h e ~ a n e . ~ ~ ~ Other examples of the use of continuum generation have been reported for two-photon spectroscopy 632 and inverse Raman spectroscopy of a number of organic A fibre optic technique has been used to provide several fixed delays for ps Streak Camera Technique. Ambiguities in results and interpretation in this time-scale can be minimized, for fluorescence measurements at least, by using a streak camera which will produce real-time decay profiles in a single shot. Fluorescence lifetimes of algae, chloroplasts, and chloroplast fragments, following excitation with a train of 530nm pulses, have been recorded on an Imacon streak camera fitted with an optical multichannel analyser in place of the usual photographic plate.635 Other examples include DODCI isomers 636 and car0tenes.637 Under perfect model-locking conditions, pulses from an Nd:glass laser (bandwidth 1&20 nm) should be theoretically about 400 fs duration. In practice, 6 ps pulses are observed which sweep the oscillating bandwidth with time. This ‘chirping’ phenomenon has been explained in terms of the time broadening of a transform-limited pulse by group velocity changes within the dispersive laser medium.638 By using a pair of diffraction gratings to delay the frequency component of the leading edge with respect to that of the trailing edge to compensate for this time distortion, it is possible to shorten pulses to close to their theoretical limit.639,640 With broader-bandwidth lasers, such as CW modelocked dye laser^,^^^^ 641 pulses as short as a few hundred femtoseconds have been Perhaps the first example of transient absorption measurements in this time region was an investigation of haemoglobin and its complexes using optical pulse correlation techniques.643Real-time measurements (with a resolution of 0.5 ps) using these laser pulses and the fast streak camera mentioned earlier 359 would also appear to be possible.

Miscellaneous Applications. Two further descriptions have appeared of stroboscopic picosecond pulse radiolysis 646 including modifications for use of a single pulse as opposed to a train.644 Transient ions produced by the pulsed photolysis of chlorophyll in solution 646 and in thin films 647 have been detected with the aid of photoconductive apparatus, Most studies of the chemistry of free radicals in both flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis are carried out by time-resolved absorption spectroscopy. Although this is a useful technique for kinetic studies, little information is given of structural characteristics. The first report has appeared of a pulsed resonance Raman apparatus to study short-lived free radicals.648 Radical anions of p-terphenyl (produced by electron irradiation) in either tetrahydrofuran (stable) or ethanol-ethylenediamine (transient) were examined by a single dye laser pulse. The resonance Raman spectrum was recorded by an optical multichannel system consisting of an image intensifier coupled to a TV camera.64s Vibrationtranslation relaxation times in liquid O2 and N2 have been obtained using stimulated Raman scattering (with a Q-switched ruby laser) to excite the first vibrational energy level, followed by probing the density change with a CW gas laser using a Schlieren method.649 10 Transient Emission Spectroscopy Instruments and Methods.-Methods for measuring fluorescence lifetimes of biomolecules have been reviewed in an article outlining some (but not all) of the advances in instrumentation during 1974-1 975, methods of analysis, and lifetime standards, and giving examples of studies on proteins and polypeptides, nucleic acids, membranes, and photosynthetic pigments.650 Limitations in accuracy due to drift and fluctuations in excitation light intensity during the course of an experiment, and weak excitation pulses, are drawbacks claimed by some researchers to pulse-sampling and photon-counting methods, respectively, for determining fluorescence lifetimes.651 Convincing evidence was presented to show that a pulse-sampling fluorometer employing a boxcar averager with baseline sampling facilities can produce lifetimes as accurate as other techniques (photon-counting and phase) but with much shorter collection Time-resolved spectra, which are usually reserved for a photon-counting method, have been recorded for various carbonyl compounds using an N2laser for excitation and a (gated) boxcar integrator.652 Although nanosecond resolution is possible, this technique is more suitable and clearly superior to photon-counting (using time-to-amplitude converters) at longer (Ips

times, i.e. up to milliseconds. Other examples of apparatus using pulsed lasers with boxcar detection for lifetime measurement 653-655 include applications to OH and OD radicals 654 and LiH and NaH molecular A comparison of fluorometric methods (phase, pulse sampling, and timecorrelated single-photon counting) points out the advantages of the last method for studies on weak absorbers or fluorophors, non-exponential fluorescence decays or time-resolved A detailed description of a gated lamp and nanosecond spectrometer was accompanied by examples of applications in energy transfer and fluorescence quenching and complex formation.656 Accurate measurements of time-resolved spectra require that equal light intensities fall onto the sample during each measurement period. In order to monitor fluctuations in the lamp intensity, a photomultiplier was used to integrate the lamp output and produce a pulse to advance the multichannel analyser by an equivalent wavelength increment.657 A nitrogen-filled, high-pressure, free-running lamp was shown to give a total light intensity 250 times higher than a spark in air at normal pressures 658 with a continuum between 200 and 300 nm. Free-running lamps usually operate at low frequencies (up to 5 kHz), and gated lamps are preferred because their higher operation frequency ( > 10 kHz) facilitates data collection. Unfortunately, gated lamps are relatively weak and their intensity is not helped by discharge in a large volume lamp. By confining the discharge to a gas jet rather than a quartz capillary it may be possible to increase brightness and match the discharge to monochromator slit dimensions. A lamp designed to pump a dye laser at 100 Hz used this gas jet principle to attain a lamp life of lo7 shots and produce a flash duration of 40 ns at 50 mJ input.65QThis principle could be used to advantage in a high-energy, high-repetition rate gated lamp. Radiation produced from a storage ring synchrotron has many of the ideal characteristics for time-correlated single-photon counting. Not only is the radiation an intense continuum extending from the i.r. to X-ray but it is emitted in the form of short pulses (1 ns) at frequencies from 10 to 400 MHZ.~~O Fluorescence decay profiles of NO at narrow band excitation (45 cm-l) and vacuum-u.v. fluorescence of atomic fragments of O2and N2662 are representative examples of such studies.

deconvolution is clearly the preferred technique when a fluorescence lifetime is comparable to the pulse source lifetime, and a rule of thumb has established that serious errors in graphical slope-calculated lifetimes will occur if this difference is less than 2 ns.663 For pulsed sources with lifetimes in the 1-3 ns range, the percentage error is 5% or less for fluorophors having lifetimes of 3-5 ns. Instrumental drift resulting in changes of the lamp profile with time has been minimized in an arrangement in which alternate collection of data for the fluorescence and lamp has been adopted.664 This procedure was shown to reduce the effective lifetime of anthracene from 4.17 to 3.97 ns. Statistical methods applied to time-correlated single-photon counting showed that the histogram on the MCA was distorted due to processes of signal sampling. The degree of distortion depended on the count rate and lifetime.666 A 'pile-up' inspector which removes distortion due to the arrival of more than one photon per detection cycle was designed for long decay times (inspection interval from 400 ns to 200 p).s66 Other papers deal with application of Laplace transforms to analyse decay curves.667 Errors in deconvolution introduced because of wavelength effects (Vol. 5, p. 115) have been considered in recent work,668,669 and alternative methods involve the use of a single standard compound of known lifetime. A calibration function for a photomultiplier as a function of wavelength was determined by measuring lifetimes of various short-lived scintillators whose broad emission spectra spanned excitation and emission wavelengths of compounds being A somewhat similar method compared two materials (e.g. anthracene and indole) whose lifetimes were known approximately under the same conditions of bandwidth and excitation and emission wavelength.668Accurate lifetimes were determined by a best-fit condition as the estimated lifetime of one material was altered. The importance of maintaining large container dimensions in studies of long-lived gas-phase molecules has been emphasized in a study made with an integrating-sphere fluorescence cell.670Cell dimensions should be several times greater than the distance travelled by a molecule during its lifetime to avoid instrumental bias on measured fluorescence intensity, yield, and lifetime. Phase fluorometry is not often used for analysing non-exponential decay functions since simultaneous measurement of phase angle and amplitude is difficult. However, an instrument with a continuously variable frequency range (0.5-72 MHz) has been described which can determine phase angles (with an 1") and modulation depth as a function of frequency.671 The accuracy of overall accuracy of the instrument is reported to be +4% for (exponential) decays between 2 and 300 ns, and the time-resolving power is 10-l1 s at 72 MHz. Application of the system to kinetic studies of 2-naphthol-naphtholate prototropic fluorescence changes revealed variations in lifetime with both modulation frequency and acid concentration. The phase fluorometer employing photoncounting described earlier (Vol. 6, p. 108) has been modified with a discriminator to detect the zero-crossing point of the sinusoidal reference signal followed by the TAC.672

A method described to measure weak luminescence lifetimes with photoncounting does not use a multichannel a n a l ~ s e r .The ~ ~ ~amplitude-normalized decay integral (ANDI) method relies on the area under an exponential decay of the form Ioe-t/Tbeing simply I07,from which T may be determined once I. is known. Photon-counting using scalars can be employed to measure I. for various time intervals. Although examples quoted included lifetimes longer than about 40 ps, the ANDI technique was regarded as applicable to measurement of lifetimes as short as 30 ns.673 Other miscellaneous arrangements for fluorescence lifetime determinations include use of a cavity-dumped argon laser (9 ns duration) and pulse sampling,674 a broadband continuum air spark (whose duration was wavelength-dependent) produced by focusing a ruby laser beam in air to excite materials at 77 K,g76 and a gated detection system to measure decays 50 ns after an electron irradiating An arrangement of little novelty and applicability, claiming to be a 'low cost pulsed tunable U.V. laser' for lifetime measurements, used an N 2 laser (of low repetition rate) and pulse sampling (with a computer of average Phosphorescence lifetimes and non-exponential decays have been determined by a photon-counting arrangement combining multichannel scaling with computer processing.s78 A two-chopper method for measuring microsecond lifetimes has many similarities to a spectroph~sphorimeter.~~~ Radiative lifetimes of individual rotation levels of CN produced by the vacuum-u.v. flash photolysis of C2Nahave been determined using an N,-laser-pumped dye pulse for excitation and a time-of-flight photon-counting system.680 A fluorescence chamber equipped with two Wood's horns was designed to reduce scattered light to 1O-Io for lifetime measurements of OH using a doubled dye laser pulse (282.5 nm) for excitation.681 A similar source has been used to excite propynal vapour in an arrangement to measure transmitted laser intensity and the time dependence of the fluorescence.682 Vibrational relaxation in CO has been studied by observing i.r. fluorescence decays following excitation with a Raman laser (Ha + CO pumped by a ruby laser).ss3 Radiative lifetimes of excited ionic states, such as CO+, N20+, and C 0 2 + ,have been determined using a modified He(1) photoelectron spectrometer and time-correlated single-photon The lifetime of the E -+ B transition in molecular iodine was determined using a technique based on populating the E state by two-photon absorption.685 In the experimental arrangement, two laser beams were sent from opposite directions into a cell containing iodine vapour at 0.25 Torr.

It is a safe prediction to make that many u.v.-visible and i.r. absorption spectrometers and fluorescence spectrometers will soon incorporate these devices to facilitate scan control, signal processing, and correction. At present, however, mixed-order kinetics must be handled by mathematical analysis 71g or, in the case of simple exponentials, by an analogue device 720 or equivalent transient recorder.721 A digitizing system uses enlarged back-projected images of photographic records and a minicomputer.722 Lock-in amplifiers are among the most common and effective instruments in a photochemistry laboratory for measurements of noisy signals.

The importance of concentration effects was also emphasized. Although the general agreement for both Tf and Ofbetween this and earlier work is reasonable, I believe that it is becoming clear that at this time the reproducibility of @f and Tf values from one laboratory to another is nowhere near as good as quoted error limits might indicate.

data d i s c ~ s s e d*. ~ ~ Appropriate correction factors for variable temperature studies of solution emission have been analysed in detail, and it turns out that if a correction of n-, is applied to radiative lifetimes an error of less than 10%is likely to result. On the other hand, the assumption of a constant value for kf may lead to large errors (up to 100%) in derived q~antities.~ In recent years there has been a steady increase in the number of molecules identified as exhibiting S, -+So fluorescence and interest in this area has increased. However, the assertion that in all molecules in which the energy gap between the lowest vibrational levels of the first two excited singlet states is small and comparable with kT, a considerable repopulation of S, and thus S2-+ So fluorescence should be expected, remains to be proved. For anthracene and 4,4’-dimethylstilbene samples in stretched polyethylene films, linear dichroic measurements have revealed that So -+ S2and So -+ S1absorptions contribute to the total fluorescence. Furthermore, it is suggested that the application of the simple techniques of polarized absorption and emission spectroscopy, in revealing dual (S, -+ So and S1-+ So)emission may help to rationalize some of the anomalies in some systems where (as is usual) one has assumed that a single transition is involved in the fluorescence process.s Some complications arising from restricted rotatory Brownian motion in the analysis of fluorescence detected circular dichroism have been analysed and attributed to photo~election.~A general theory of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), including the effects of translational and rotational motions and chemical reactions in ideal solutions has been derived.8 Explicit equations for the calculation of time resolved emission spectra for molecules undergoing collisional vibrational relaxation have been presented, and these same equations may be used to describe the steadystate (frequency-resolved) emission spectra as a function of added vibrational quencher gas.g The use of time-resolved spectroscopy and travelling wave dye lasers in studying liquid state relaxation processes of electronically excited fluorescent molecules has been described.1° On the other hand, a much simpler device using a high pressure (11 atm) N, spark lamp and a conventional pulse fluorometer system has also been used to obtain time-resolved emission spectra. Although the use of high pressures in the lamp leads to a very great increase in light output per pulse, particularly in the 250-300nm region, compared with the normal 0.5-1 .O atm lamps, the pulse width is usually increased ( 37 ns).I1 The azobenzene system has been developed as a convenient actinometer for the determination of quantum yields of photochemical reactions.12 The nature of the non-radiative processes in benzene have been discussed from a theoretical point of view.13

An analysis of the fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra of toluene and deuterium-substituted toluenes at 77 K in polycrystalline methylcyclohexane has given some information on the geometry of the S, and Tl states. For the tripletstate emission, progressions in the totally symmetric ring carbon-carbon vibration are interpreted to signify a planar, non-regular hexagonal ring structure for the T' states of toluenes: the fluorescence has been interpreted in terms of an expanded regular hexagonal ring for the S1state.l* The vacuum U.V. irradiation of benzene and C6H6 and C,D, in argon and nitrogen matrices leads to fluorescence and phosphorescence and also to thermoluminescence (phosphorescence observed after irradiation of the matrix had stopped and the matrix warmed up).l@ The irradiation of benzene in aqueous solution at 214 nm (lAIS + lBIu) gives a similar major product with a similar yield as does irradiation at longer wavelengths, e.g. at 254 nm. These results correlate well with the wavelength dependence of fluorescence and support the view that, unlike fluorescence, the photochemistry emanates from a nonthermalized state.eo The interest in the photochemistry and photophysics of valence isomers of aromatic compounds continues. Photoexcited 1,4-Dewar naphthalene (DN) rearranges to excited naphthalene in both the singlet and triplet manifolds. DN on direct excitation at 77 K gives three emissions, fluorescence from D N and fluorescence and phosphorescence from naphthalene. No phosphorescence from DN was identified and acetophenone sensitization of DN resulted in naphthalene phosphorescence. At room temperature D N does not fluoresce but l6

processes (the figure labelling is self-evident): it accounts for the lack of phosphorescence from DN and suggests an adiabatic conversion of 3DN to 3naphthalene. In flexible molecules such as biphenyls and polyphenyls significant differences between ground-state and excited-state equilibrium geometrics often manifest themselves in large Stokes shifts. Another interesting observation is the lack of structure in absorption but considerable structure in fluorescence. The latter observation may be understood in terms of the difference in the steepness of the potential energy curves of Soand S1.2a The photoionization of pyrene in acetonitrile has been examined and two routes to the pyrene radical-cation suggested.

Weak monomer [@f(cyclohexane) = 2 x 1 0 7 and excimer [O,f(cyclohexane) = 5 x 1 0 7 fluorescence from [2,2]metacyclophanehas been observed and the low yields attributed to the rapid radiationless deactivation involving the two benzene rings.29 Ab initio configuration interaction calculations carried out on trimethylene methane have indicated that the S1state has a twisted geometry whereas the ground state is a planar triplet Although several studies of the effect of temperature and solvent viscosity on (Di and cD(geom. isomerization) for stilbenes have been carried out, little data indicating how these environmental changes effect q have been reported. In a recent study a combination of measured Of and q and literature values for R ~ for trans-stilbene has given the temperature dependence of kF, ~ N and k(t-c).31 The ~ N Ris mostly composed of the component k(robbion, z 2k+c,. Using the potential energy diagram of Orlandi and Siebrand 32 the temperature dependence of the rate constant for internal conversion may be seen as the result of the energy barrier between S1(8 = 0 "C) and S1(8 = 90 "C). The rate constant for internal conversion ( z 2k(t-,,) at higher temperatures - 90 to - 60 "C is consistent with an internal conversion involving an energy gap of z 14 000 cm-l and thus it seems that in this temperature range in methylcyclohexane-iso-hexane geometric isomerization is a singlet-state process [from S, (twisted) to So (twisted)]. No evidence for a temperature dependence of intersystem crossing was found. The same workers summarized the kinetics of photo-geometric-isomerization of stilbenes, pointing out the need to analyse the isomerization of these and related molecules using the full kinetic scheme; the reversible population of the twisted singlet state from the planar cis and trans isomers, intersystem crossing from the planar isomers, reversible population of the twisted triplet state from both planar isomers, and non-reversible population from the twisted singlet and

In addition, internal conversion (S,-+ So) and intersystem crossing (T,-+ So)from either planar isomer may be i m p ~ r t a n t .The ~ ~ consequences of solvent influences on the photochemical cis-trans isomerizations of substituted stilbenes have also been The effects of molecular overcrowding on the fluorescence spectra (Stokes shifts) and quantum yields on a series of 4- and 4,4’-substituted and a,a’-substituted stilbenes have been examined. Although all cis-stilbene derivatives exhibit a small Stokes shift, the a,a’-dimethyl derivative shows a huge shift (16 500 cm-l). The Stokes shift studies indicate a large difference between the Franck-Condon and relaxed S, and Sostates. This is perhaps not surprising when the ground-state and excited-state bond orders are examined since a large change takes place resulting in large differences in preferred geometries. As observed in other aryl olefins, increases sharply with decreasing temperature and increasing viscosity. Furthermore, with increasing overcrowding the temperature range over which fluorescence is observed is shifted downwards and the magnitude of the viscosity effect is increased. Although no detailed information is yet available to indicate which of the possible non-radiative processes from the Sl states of sterically hindered stilbenes is most affected by temperature and viscosity and could therefore account for changes in (I a+ reasonable , correlation between calculated Franck-Condon factors for the non-radiative transitions and was obtained using the harmonic oscillator a p p r o x i m a t i ~ n . ~ ~ Earlier work has shown that 4-cyano-4’-methoxystilbeneundergoes geometric isomerization from the S’ state, whereas 4-nitro-4‘-methoxystilbene reacts from its triplet state. A more recent study has concentrated on the solvent- and temperature-dependence of this pair.36 While the activation energy for deactivation of the cyano derivative is independent of solvent polarity this is not the case for the nitro-derivative. This study concludes that the intersystem crossing is negligible in the case of the cyano derivative and the activation barrier = 2.8 kcalmol-l in toluene) is attributed to the twisting process from the planar to the orthogonal singlet state; but in the case of the nitro-derivative, intersystem crossing predominates. These findings are very much in line with the earlier conclusions for the mechanisms of geometric isomerization for the two compounds. Further developments have occurred in the use of electronic overlap population analysis to analyse the reactivity of cis-stilbene derivatives in the photochemical electrocyclic ring closure processes. Thus the formation of only two of the possible three ring closure products (4a, 4b-dihydrophenanthrene derivatives) from 1,2-di-p-naphthylethylenemay be understood in terms of MO and strain energy minimili~ation.~’Electronic overlap population has also been applied as a reactivity measure in the photocyclization of pentahelicene~.~~

The charge-transfer (NO, +- Ar)r,rr* state, sensitive to substituents and solvent, is seen to control the changes in photophysical properties through the series.41 A short review of the photophysical and photochemical properties of some biologically important polyenes, including retinol, retinal, and some of their derivatives, has been p~blished:~, see also Part VI.

The dramatic decrease in the quantum yields of geometric isomerization and electrocyclic ring closure to methylcyclobutene observed on changing the wavelength for exciting cis- or trans-penta-1,3-diene from 254 nm to 228.8 nm has been qualitatively rationalized. It is suggested that 228.8 nm excitation populates the S, hypersurface at a nuclear configuration unfavourable for the molecular motions responsible for the reactions observed on 254 nm e x ~ i t a t i o n .Ground~~ state conformational effects have been shown to have an influence over the photochemistry of hexatrienes 45 and selection between the two possible conrotatory electrocyclic ring openings of cy~lohexa-1,3-dienes.*~ A further report on the very interesting fluorescent s-trans-steroidal dienes has appeared. The singlet-state energies obtained from the fluorescence spectra are reported, together with triplet-state parameter^.^^ A general theoretical approach to the understanding of the photochemistry of saturated hydrocarbons based on INDO calculations has been developed.

A study of phenol in neutral aqueous solutions has been carried out and both the formation of hydrogen atoms and eCaq)- are more efficient at higher excitation energies. The increase in quantum yields of H and e(aq)-with decreasing wavelength does not, however, fully account for the decrease in @F. Using a heavy atom (Cs+) perturbation technique it was shown that at least two pathways for electron formation exist: one competes with internal conversion to the fluorescent (relaxed S,) state, and another occurs from a state populated via the fluorescent state, Table 3 gives an indication of

vations and the effects of detergent concentration can be quantitatively explained in terms of the Nernst distribution law.51 A report of some novel observations on the emission from acetonitrile solutions of acetone has appeared. On irradiation, a peak (at 515 nm) assigned to biacetyl phosphorescence is observed: thus the total emission is a composite of acetone fluorescence and phosphorescence, and biacetyl phosphorescence. While this observation is perhaps not surprising, the fluctuations in the eniission intensity at 515 nm with irradiation, amounting to ca. 25% of the total emission intensity, most certainly is. Thus this may present an example of a case of an illuminated system undergoing oscillations.62 However, a detailed mechanism to account for the oscillations must await further work. While pinacol is the major product from the photolysis of acetone in isopropanol at room temperature, at -70 "C the major products are those resulting from the addition of acetone to its enol isomer. This is almost certainly the result of the longer lifetime of the enol at - 70 "C (> 500 s) compared with room temperature ( 14 s ) . ~The ~ role of enol intermediates in the photoreduction and Type I cleavage reactions of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones has also been reviewed 54 as have general energy-wasting processes in ketone photo~hemistry.~~ Two closely related pieces of work on the competition between intramolecular y-hydrogen abstraction and other processes emanating from the n,n* excited 67 singlet states of alkanones have been In a continuation of their application of time-resolved laser spectroscopy to studies of aromatic ketone photophysics, Singer and co-workers 58 have obtained information about thermal and p-type delayed fluorescence as well as phosphorescence efficiencies from a series of 4,4'-disubstituted benzophenones. Variable temperature studies on the thermal delayed fluorescence has allowed the S,--T, energy differences to be determined and these, together with other useful data are shown in Table 4 (ksqis the self quenching rate constants and the superscript lim denotes values obtained by extrapolation to zero concentration, i.e. in the absence of self quenching). It is proposed that the self quenching process (16), involves exciplex formation in which the half-filled n orbitals of TI is directed towards the .n-electron density of an aromatic ring of So. N

Although log k,, correlate well with a+ values ( p = - 1.7), a much wider range of substituents, notably electron-deficient substituents, must be introduced in order to probe fully the variety of exciplex interactions possible. Michler's ketone has almost completely anisotropic fluorescence when measured for ethanol solutions at room temperatures and this is explained by the unusually short singlet lifetime.69 61 52

Studies of coumarins, some of which are important for use in dye-lasers, have continued with investigations of the fluorescences of 4-methyl unbelliferone and related coumarins 6o and some 7-substituted coumarins.sl In the last few years, more attention has been paid to the photochemistry of aldehydes, and some interesting comparisons can now be made between aldehyde and ketone photochemistry.

yields and the fluorescence lifetimes of a series of alkanals. If the assumption is made that intersystem crossing is unlikely to be affected by distant alkylation and remembering that the radiative rate constants (Sl-So) are very low (- lo5 s-l) for alkanals then the changes in 7f-l observed may be understood in terms of the increasing efficiency of intramolecular y-hydrogen atom abstractions and other photochemical processes. Taking the rate constant for y-hydrogen abstraction in propanol as zero, the corresponding rate constants for butanal and pentanal can be calculated as - 1 x lo8 s-l and 5-6 x lo8 s-l respectively. These rate constants are comparable with those obtained for primary and secondary hydrogen atom abstraction for ln,n* alkanones and like alkanones are greater than the corresponding rate constants for %,n* reaction. The increase in 7f-l with a-methylation (cf. propanal and 2,2-dimethylpropanal) may be the result of the increasing efficiency of a-cleavage.62 Some interesting comparisons can also be made between the above results obtained for solutions and those obtained by Hansen and Lee for some of the same alkanals in the gas In order to compare the electronic and steric effects in alkanals with those of alkanones, quenching studies using triethylamine (TEA) and trans-dicyanoethylene were also carried out. The most important observation made was that alkanal ln,n* states are 5-10 times more reactive towards TEA quenching than alkanones (e.g. k, x lo01 mol-1 s-l = 1.7 for 2-butanone and 9.3 for l-butanal). Attempts to relate this difference to electronic factors failed and it was concluded that steric effects (replacing an alkyl group by hydrogen) were involved.62 The quenching of glyoxal fluorescence by a magnetic field has been attributed to an enhancement of intersystem crossing.s4 The visual chromophore, retinal, continues to provide interesting results for those studying its photochemical and photophysical behaviour.

wavelength, the values for the 11-cis and 13-cis isomers show a marked increase in @isc at 353 nm compared with 265 nm excitation 65 (see also Part VI). Both intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen-bonding can have a profound effect on the luminescence properties of molecules capable of hydrogenbonding. Such effects, similar to those previously shown to exist for methyl ~ a l i c y l a t e ,have ~ ~ recently been shown to be present in methyl 2,6-dihydroxybenzoate.67 Thus the short wavelength fluorescence (387 nm) selectively promoted on excitation at 330nm is the result of emission from the solventstabilized enol form of the dihydroxybenzoate, whereas the 500 nm fluorescence is the result of emission from an excited species formed by the excitation of the intramolecularly bonded ground-state molecule followed by proton transfer. Emission yields the ground-state enol form which undergoes proton transfer again ( Scheme 3).67 OMe I

sensitizers to sensitize only the geometric isomerization of the lactones (4) and ( 5 ) seems to have been resolved. Ullman and Baumann had suggested that matching of the orbital symmetries of sensitizer and acceptor would lead to selective excitation of the lactone to its n,n* triplet to cause the selective reaction, while a lack of matching would lead to inefficient unselective energy transfer and resulting unselective reactions (hydrogen abstraction and geometric isomerizat i ~ n ) .It~has ~ now been shown that (4)efficiently quenches the triplet sensitizers, regardless of Ullman's classification, and the extent of reabsorption by fluorescence emitted from the sensitizers is seen to govern the reaction course.7o The considerable differences between the geometries of the ground states and relaxed S1states of flexible aliphatic amines have been used to interpret the results of a study of the temperature dependence of from flexible and rigid amines. Thus dimethylethylamine shows an increase, by a factor of 77, in its fluorescence between - 100 "C and 100 "C. It is envisaged that the initially formed nonfluorescent state undergoes a geometry change having a small activation (e.g. 4.3 kcal mol-1 for triethylamine) to the relaxed fluorescent state. In contrast the rigid amine l-azabicyclo[2,2,2]octane shows a temperature-independent intensity.'l An analysis of vibronic coupling and intersystem crossing in aromatic a r n i n e ~and , ~ ~an electron impact investigation of electronic excitations in furan, thiophene, and pyrrole have been Continuing investigations of the photophysics of highly polar aromatic compounds provide useful quantitative data, which although difficult to interpret, does provide empirical correlations which are undoubtedly useful in interpreting the photochemistry and photophysics of more complex analogues of these molecules.

Four models have been presented of N,N-dialkyl-p-cyanoanilines to account for the observations so far made. (i) Solvent reorientation model. The short-wavelength fluorescence, which predominates in non-polar solvents, is attributed to radiation from unsolvated molecules whose lowest-energy excited singlet is lLb (in the Platt notation). The long-wavelength fluorescence which predominates in polar solvents, is attributed to radiation from solvated molecules whose lowest-energy excited singlet state is lLa.

two fluorescence processes are supposed to co-exist. (ii) The excimer model. The short-wavelength fluorescence is assigned to a monomer emission and the long-wavelength fluorescence to an excimer emission. The excimer is presumed to possess a configuration in which the static dipole moments of both components are nearly parallel. (iii) Excited-state isomerization model. The shortwavelength fluorescence is attributed to a planar excited-state /I-isomer, and the long-wavelength fluorescence to an excited-state a-isomer in which the -N(Me)2 group is more or less perpendicular to the @-CNplane. (iv) The exciplex model. The short-wavelength fluorescence is a ’&molecular fluorescence, the longwavelength one originates from a molecule-solvent excited state complex, an ‘exciplex’, in which the emitting state has a ‘La parentage. Intensification of the long-wavelength fluorescence in concentrated solutions of slightly polar solvents is due to formation of ‘solvates’ in which the excited NN-dimethyl-p-cyanoaniline is solvated by ground-state ones through formation of an excited-state 1:l ‘electrostatic loose self-complex’. Khalil 76 has analysed the reported observations in terms of the excimer model and has rationalized the apparent lack of concentration dependence of fluorescence intensities in terms of two considerations. (i) Since the orientation of the transition dipoles was found to be critical for own-polar excimers, it is probable that only a small proportion of collisions lead to excimer formation. (ii) While the excimer has a large dipole moment ( 23 D) suggesting a near parallel dipole configuration, this arrangement is opposite to that found for the ground-state dimers. Thus, an increase in concentration increases dimer formation and thus the number of ground-state molecules available for excimer trapping is not linear with concentration. Studies by Kosower et a1.” reach rather different conclusions. In this case a very extensive study of solvent effects leads to the conclusion that the shortwavelength emissions are the result of fluorescence from both the planar and perpendicular (a-isomer) states depending on solvent. The long-wavelength emission in proton-donating solvents is assigned to a protonated molecule (6) on the basis of a deuterium isotope effect. The dimer emission is also identified. Using derivatives of NN-dialkyl-p-cyanoaniline so as to impose either coplanar or twisted conformations of the NMe, group, another study has been carried out.

(6) In non-polar solvents (7), (8), and (9), in which a planar conformation is possible or imposed, the short-wavelength fluorescence is emitted by a state other than that mainly responsible for the first absorption band in (7).78 The longwavelength fluorescence is ascribed to emission from a state populated by relaxation from the state responsible for the short-wavelength fluorescence and is a highly polar rotamer in which the NMe, is perpendicular to the aromatic ring, The aminonaphthalene sulphonates have already provided a wealth of interesting results concerning the environment dependence of their emissions, and two new reports in this area add further to the experimental observations and interpretations of the behaviour of these molecules. High energy (360nm) and low energy (400 nm) excitation of N-methyl-N-ethyl and N-(Zhydroxyet hyl)-2-Nphenylamino-6-naphthalenesulphonatein glycerol lead to different emissions (Amx = 405 nm for high energy and Amx = 468 nm for low energy excitation). While the latter is the expected emission, the former is ascribed to fluorescence from a form in which a proton has been transferred to the 1-position of the naphthalene ring.79 An analysis of the solvent effects on the fluorescence of l-(dimethylamino)-5-naphthalenesulphonicacid and related compounds,8oaand fluorescence and flash photolysis studies of l-hydroxynaphthalene-2-sulphonate and l-hydroxy-naphthalene-4-sulphonateions,8obhave been reported. Tryptophan and the parent compound indole continue to attract attention, and this is hardly surprising in view of the controversies which still exist over the photochemistry (particularly photoionization) of indole and its derivatives and the importance of tryptophan in protein photochemistry. Table 7 shows a useful compilation of fluorescence yield values. A good correlation between Stokes shifts and Kosower’s 2 values for indole and the solvent and wavelength effects on CDt. may indicate an increased efficiency of solvent-induced internal conversion (S, -+ S,) with increase in solvent polarity.81 The photoionization of indole in alkaline solution at 77 K has also been examined.*, On excitation to its S, state indole in concentrated ( > 5 M) NaOH undergoes photoionization (loss of H+) and the resulting emission at 375 nm is 78

A series of somewhat contradictory reports on the role of electron ejection subsequent to excitation of tryptophan and its derivatives have appeared. Bryant et aLE3using a 265 nm laser-flash technique have concluded that in neutral aqueous solution three important primary products are formed, the neutral tryptophan radical (as a result of N-H bond fission), the triplet state, and the hydrated electron. It is suggested that after excitation the formation of a loose complex (Scheme 4)

Scheme 4

competes with relaxation to the fluorescent singlet state and that the complex may give back the neutral molecule or dissociate with deprotonation. Table 8 gives the quantum yields of e(aq) formation. The reason for the high values relative to earlier conventional flash results must be due to the rapid radicalcation electron recombination (within the complex). Bent and H a y ~ n , using * ~ a similar laser-flash system, but measuring the by the absorption method without a standard (the previous workers used a ferrocyanide reference), obtained much lower values (Table 8).

ments of e(aq) production may be expected to be both time and technique sensitive. Although in the latter two papers electron ejection was considered to be the result of a monophotonic reaction from the excited singlet state, other workers now dispute this. The effect of oxygen on the radical yield points to a triplet-state precursor.85 The initial decay rate of the isothermal fluorescence from tryptophan or phenolate as a result of radical-cation electron recombination increases with decreasing photoionization energy. This is probably the result of an increase in the electron-cation separation as the photoionization energy increases and thus imparts more kinetic energy to the electron.ss The fluorescence of tryptophancontaining peptides on paper or silica gel after different treatments may be used as a detection method in chr~matography.~~ A somewhat selective review of protein luminescence has appeared.88 The fluorescence of hydroxypyridines 89 has been discussed, and other workers have reported the fluorescence characteristics of substituted 2-methyl-l-isoquinolines,vo alkylated phenazinium ion-phenazyl radical v1 systems, some azaphenanthrenes,v2 and 4-pyridoxic acid and its 1act0ne.~~ 3,3’-Diethyloxadicarbocyanine iodide (DODCI) is important because of its use in the mode-locking rhodamine 6G dye-laser. However, some uncertainty exists as to the fluorescence lifetime of DODCI and its photoisomer (efficiently formed on photolysis). Using single and multiple picosecond pulse techniques, a value of 1.2 ns, in good agreement with some existing values, has been obtained for the lifetime of DODCI, while a value of 420 ps has been given to the lifetime of the excited singlet state of the p h o t o i ~ o m e r . ~ ~ Using sub-picosecond pulses from a mode-locked C.W. laser, and fitting the data to an equation having two exponentials, the ground-state recovery kinetics of malachite green have been measured, equation (17).

has been carried out. The interest in this system stems from the fact that the inverted micelle is capable of containing water clusters in the central polar area of the micelle and it is of interest to determine the nature of these water clusters. ANS was found to be very sensitive to the size of the solubilized water clusters in that both its fluorescence yield and lifetime decreased with increasing radius of the aqueous micelle core. The microviscosity of the AOT micelles was examined using fluorescence polarization experiments and from the strength of rhodamine B fluorescence polarization in the absence of water it may be concluded that the micelle has a very rigid core. The microviscosity of the micelle core decreases with increase in the size of the water cluster. While the diffusion of ionic fluorescence quenchers is dependent on the water cluster size, oxygen may diffuse efficiently with or without the presence of water.lol The fluorescence behaviours of some fluorescent probes in aqueous solutions of cationic,lO*anionic,lo3 and non-ionic lo* surfactants have also been studied. Guanines undergo optical changes at low temperatures in diol-containing solvents by irradiation at A < 300 nm. Although the natures of the primary photoproducts can only be speculated upon, nevertheless, the observation of the well defined optical changes may be used as a semi-quantitative probe for the population of the excited states of guanines. The possibility of the involvement of these low temperature products in biological damage is not entirely excluded; but the special conditions of their formations and their thermal instability render this unlikely.lo5 Bilirubin has attracted a great deal of attention from photochemists because of its importance in the phototherapy of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, and interest in the photophysical properties has also developed recently. A novel fluorescence emission (TP < 5 ns; , ,A 525 nm) obtained by cooling an EPA-dimethylformamide solution of bilirubin to 77 K has been obtained and has been assigned in a dangerously loose way to a second ‘species’of bilirubin which is in equilibrium and is favoured at low temperature.

Thus while Q remains constant at 0.01 between 14 K and 200 K, it decreases rapidly above 200 K, and is unmeasurable at room temperafure.ll0 The literature covering luminescence phenomena is littered with claims for 'new' luminescence from molecules which eventually prove to be due to impurities. Although such claims may sometimes be an indication of the quality of work being produced by a particular group, they more frequently reflect the very great difficulties of purifying materials, particularly large complex molecules, to the level necessary for emission studies. A new examination of carefully purified chlorophyll a in EPA has revealed that an emission previously assigned as a fluorescence hot band is in fact due to an impurity. Furthermore, for concentrations up to M there is no evidence for dimer emission.lll The fluorescence lifetimes exhibited in vivo by chlorophyll a have also been examined.ll2 N

Ionic and Radical Phenomena.-Interest in those molecules which undergo dissociation to ionic fragments (e.g. proton + anion or radical-cation + electron) on electronic excitation has increased recently and therefore this subsection has been devoted to a discussion of recent observations in this area and also some free radical process. Although many attempts to obtain excited state pK* values by fluorimetry have been made, it was pointed out some time ago that if one of the excited species in equation (18) is non-fluorescent (i.e. T < 10-l'~) then the reaction in which it AH*

takes part (deprotonation or protonation) cannot proceed to any appreciable extent during its short lifetime.l13 Thus, under these conditions, a pH versus fluorescence intensity curve does not represent an excited-state equilibrium and therefore cannot give p&*, equation (18). This situation applies whether B is H 2 0 or a buffer acid. An analysis of the data given by fluorescence intensity us. pH plots for the cases of near equilibrium and non-equilibrium has been presented by other The solvent dependence of absorption and the results of solvent-dependent photocurrent measurements have indicated that the spontaneous formation of free solvated electrons from the vertical Rydberg-like states of tetra-aminoethylenes takes place in polar The use of pulse radiolysis-generated solvated electrons to produce interesting free radical and ionic intermediates in chemistry is well known.

The authors claimed that the enhanced ionization of the naphthol in the excited state increases the nitrous acid concentration which is the crucial rate-determining factor. However, a number of rather straightforward considerations make it clear that this first claimed example of a reaction, which takes advantage of the increased acidity of phenols in their first excited state, cannot be accepted. Perhaps the most important general criticism made should be remembered by us all: any be it emission or reaction, must be process with a quantum yield of analysed with a great deal of caution.l19 The fluorescence properties and acid-base equilibria of naphthylpyridylethylenes,120a rapid radiationless deactivation process competing with proton transfer in the S, state of 2,4-bis(dimethylamino)-6-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)s-triazine,121 and the pH-dependence of fluorescein fluorescence have been discussed.122 Although a large amount of lifetime data on the fluorescence from benzyl and related radicals are available, no fluorescence quantum yield has been available.

Intramolecular excimer formation continues to be of interest and the detection of conformational control on excimer photophysics is of particular importance. Thus dianthrylethane (DAE) and dianthrylpropane (DAP) show different excimer emissions at room temperature and at 77 K. The Type I excimer is observed on excitation at room temperature, while the Type I1 excimer is formed by the photocleavage of the intramolecular photodimers in a rigid glass at 77 K. The efficient formation of the dimers from the Type I1 excimer may be the reason for lack of Type I1 fluorescence at room temperature.134 An interesting series of papers concerned with the photochemistry and photophysics of the photodimerization of acenes has appeared.13+13' The production of phenanthrene triplet excimers and their modes of decay have been at the centre of some controversy over the past few years.

thermic energy transfer singlet energy transfer was found to be less sensitive to steric effects than triplet energy transfer, apparently because diffusion rather than energy transfer is rate determining in the former case. The effect of steric hindrance on triplet energy transfer can be illustrated by the ratios of k, for azo-n-butane and azo-t-butane. For the series of donors used, this ratio varies from 3.6 to 10.7.143In contrast, triplet energy transfer from 3(acetone),produced by the thermal decomposition of tetramethyldioxetane, to a range of structurally different ketones is apparently insensitive to steric factors.

The extent of ground-state complexing is small as indicated by the weak dependence of quenching (decay) on the excitation wavelength. The time-resolved emission spectra obtained for cyclohexane-ethanol and benzene-acetonitrile systems show a progressive red shift in the exciplex emission with time. Such an effect is expected if the diffusion of the polar molecule to the exciplex is responsible for the red shift.157 Excited-state l-j2

interactions between aromatic hydrocarbons and 1,2-di(tertiary-amino) ethanes and a new emission, assigned as exciplex fluorescence, have also been examined lSB has been obtained from the interaction of the excited singlet state of 2-aminopyridine and ground-state p-nitr0ani1ine.l~~ Acrylamide Quenching of indole and N-acetyltryptophanamide proceeds both by static and dynamic processes and is proving to be a good topological probe for protein studies. The tryptophan units may be located using the acrylamide probe, which appears to behave as a perfectly neutral probe in model micelle systems, unlike ionic or hydrophobic quenchers. Acrylamide quenching rate constants in water for a range of indole derivatives are all 6 x loB1 mol-1 s-l.160 The synthetic uses of exciplexes is an area which has aroused some interest recently and a study of 1- and 2-cyanonaphthalene interactions with tetramethylethylene gives some indication of the factors important in maximizing the formation of products. The results of this study may be summarized as follows.lel (i) Exciplex formation precedes cycloaddition in benzene solution. (ii) Different factors control the formation and collapse of the exciplexes. (iii) In polar solvents (methanol and acetonitrile) electron transfer predominates over exciplex formation. 2,5-Dimethylhexa-2,4-diene(DMHD) forms exciplexes with arenes, and in the case of a number of substituted anthracenes and octafluoronaphthalene these exciplexes are fluorescent. The relationship between the thermodynamics of exciplex formation and the polarity of the exciplex and product formation in arene DMHD and arenecyclohexa-l,3-diene systems have been 163 A more detailed study of one of the diene exciplex systems, namely the 9,lO-dichloroanthracene (DAC)-DMHD system, has been carried out by SaltieI and co-workers. Good linearity of the Stern-Volmer plot (up to diene concentrations of 0.32 M) for monomer fluorescence quenching allows transient, ground-state complexing, or other complicating effects to be eliminated in this concentration range.164 On the other hand, at higher concentration both the appearance of a new emission and the quenching kinetics point to the formation and decay of a triple exciplex as indicated by equations (26) and (27).

From the lack of excimer lifetime dependence on DCB concentration it was concluded that the triple exciplex is formed from the exciplex (by interacting with the other naphthyl fragment) and not from the e ~ c i p 1 e x . l ~ ~ The complete kinetic analysis of exciplex formation and decay is still relatively rare. For this reason a report on the analysis of a range of exciplexes is particularly welcome. The time development of emission at particular wavelengths and time-dependent emission spectroscopy were both used to obtain relevant kinetic data. Two reactive (i.e. product-producing) systems, 9-cyanophenanthrene-pbutenylanisole and 9-cyanophenanthrene-trans-anethole, and two unreactive systems, anthracene-diethylaniline and plienanthrenefumaronitrile, were examined. Thermodynamic behaviour seems to differ little for exciplex formation between the unreactive and reactive systems and, perhaps not surprisingly, it may be concluded that different factors control the collapse of the exciplexes to products.166*167 The interaction between the excited singlet state of phenanthrene and dimethyl fumarate is now confirmed to lead to an interesting system of exciplexes. Thus, the formation of a weakly emitting exciplex leads to the formation of the dioxetane (10) and the cyclobutane (1 1). In addition, intersystem crossing N

The triplet exciplex produces a mixture of the cyclobutane isomers (1 1) and (12), and decays to ground-state phenanthrene and fumaronitrile or triplet phenanthrene and ground-state fumaronitrile.168 The photodimerization of styrenes in the presence of tetracyanobenzene is considered to involve an electron-transfer process,169and the fluorescent states of inter- and intramolecular exciplexes and excited donor-acceptor complexes of 9,lO-dicyanoanthracene and alkylbenzenes may be described as states in which the excitation is mostly localized on the electron acceptor.170 The analysis of results from the determination of the ionic photodissociation yield of pyrenequencher systems indicates that the ionic dissociation may be outlined as shown in Scheme 6.

The relative efficiencies of photodissociation to radical-ions in the two systems pyromellitic dianhydride--perylene and tetracyanoethylene-perylene have also been examined. In these cases population of the triplet state of donor and acceptor can be ruled out. However, the complication of exciplex production by both direct excitation of the ground-state complex and as a result of excited perylene ground-state acceptor interaction was also considered and the yields of radicalions produced in both ways A closely related study of the tripletstate ionic photodissociation of the weak charge-transfer complexes formed between pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and naphthalenes has been and the effect of bromine substitution on the charge-transfer emission from the complex of phenanthrene and tetracyanobenzene 17* examined. The photochemical behaviour of 1-cyanonaphthalene in the presence of phenylacetic acid has also been examined.175 The triplet-triplet spectra of polycyclic hydrocarbons have been observed for many molecules. However, when (Disc is low for a particular molecule it is often difficult to obtain good T1-T'. spectra, especially when the corresponding transition is forbidden. These difficulties are to some extent overcome by use of a ground-state complex of the hydrocarbon (donor) and an acceptor (e.g. chloranil). It is assumed that the spectrum of the short-lived species obtained on flashing the complex approximates to that of the Tl state of the donor. Using this assumption the well resolved spectra obtained for perylene and other hydrocarbons can be split up into Tl-T, and T1-T3 contributions. One shortcoming of the technique is the uncertainty which exists over the magnitude of the perturbation from the isolated hydrocarbon spectra which must result on complexing the The competition between sensitized charge transfer of an excited oxocarbocyanine dye adsorbed on the surface of a molecular crystal of chloranil and energy transfer to a metal layer has been utilized to measure the rate constant for charge transfer (kCT = (4 f 2) x los s-1),177 and the photoreaction of tetracyanobenzene with tetrahydrofuran has been examined.178 The initial interaction between electronically excited ketones and amines usually results in electron transfer from the filled n-orbital of the amine to the half-filled n-orbital on the ketone oxygen. Such an interaction produces an 172

90 Photochemistry exciplex which may yield photoreduction products on collapse to ground-state reactants. A solution phase study of the fluorescence quenching of 11 acyclic, cyclic, and bicyclic alkanones by diethylamines (DEA) and triethylamine has been published. Steric effects suggest that a specific orientation of alkanone and amine in the encounter complex is required for efficient quenching. It appears that the formation of exciplexes involving the alkanone S, state and alkylamines is sufficiently exothermic that the amine oxidation potential and solvent polarity have little effect on the observed k , values. Consistent with this are the much lower k , values for n,r* triplets (about an order of magnitude) when the AG values are of course much 10wer.l'~ Weak charge-transfer interactions are invoked to account for the formation of an intramolecular excited complex in #?-vinyl phenyl ketones (Ph-COCH,CH,-CH=CHR). The decay modes of these complexes were discussed lE0as was the quenching of exciplex fluorescence by an electric field in poly(N-vinylcarbazole) film doped with dimethyl terephthalate.lE1 In addition to the production of an exciplex by the absorption of light, the direct interaction of radical-anion radical-cation pairs generated electrochemically may also lead to exciplex formation. However, in the past it has been assumed that in the polar solvents used (e.g. acetonitrile) to produce the radicalions, exciplex emission would not be observed. Bard and co-workers, during electrogenerated chemiluminescence studies, have now observed exciplex emission from systems of tri-p-tolylamine (TPTA) with a range of ketone and hydrocarbon donors in acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran as solvents and from naphthalene and five amine donors in acetonitrile. Studies of the dibenzoylmethane-TPTA system in a range of solvents where only exciplex emission is observed demonstrates the importance of solvent dielectric on exciplex emission intensify.lE2 Using as the basis for their analysis the previously described master equation to describe the time-dependent behaviour of vibrational relaxation,183a Lin et al. have analysed the effects of temperature and quencher concentration on vibrational relaxation in condensed media.1E3bA theoretical analysis of the quenching of excited aromatic molecules by paramagnetic species has also been given.lS4 Biacetyl fluorescence quenching by inorganic ionslE6and a range of oxygenquenching processes have been examined.186-188 The observation that oxygen, the universal quencher of luminescence from organic molecules, can under certain conditions act to enhance luminescence was reported and discussed in previous Volumes of these Reports. A more detailed study of the oxygen-enhanced fluorescence has now been published. Two mechanisms have been presented to account for the enhancement (observed in polymer matrices at low temperatures): (i) the trivial mechanism whereby 302 quenches the triplet states of molecules which have very long lifetimes under the 179 180

Heavy Atom Quenching.-Last year we reported on the case of bromocyclopropane as a heavy atom perturber for use in mechanistic studies. Because of the absorption spectrum of this compound, it cannot be used at wavelengths < 300 nm. It has recently been demonstrated that xenon has some potential for solution phase mechanistic studies in that it is non-absorbing at 200 nm and is chemically inert. Its use to increase the quantum yields of triplet-state processes (by inducing intersystem crossing) may be limited by the lifetime of the triplet state, in that triplet quenching by xenon of long-lived triplets may give rise to interpretation problems.19oFrom studies of the effect of heavy atom perturbation on the photochemistry and photophysics of anthracene and 9,lO-dibromoanthracene, the following conclusions have been reached.lal (i) Heavy atoms quench the excited singlet states much more effectively than they quench the triplet states. (ii) A non-radiative process characteristic of external heavy atom involvement is competing with triplet relaxation (T1+ So)and with intersystem crossing to the triplet manifold (S, + T,J. As part of the above study, the triplet quantum yields of anthracene (0.74) and 9,lO-dibromoanthracene (0.79) were determined. The increase in the apparent molecular fluorescence of 9,lO-dibromoanthracene in fluid solution on addition of ethyl bromide has been examined in detail and ascribed to collision-induced (a) R. D.

The PMDR method employed gave evidence for an out-of-plane distortion in the geometry of the triplet states of bromobenzenes. The results on the external heavy atom effect indicate that the main spin-orbit coupling singlet state is the charge-transfer state of T molecule-o* perturber type.lQ3(See also ref. 194.) The decay functions of phosphorescence and of triplet-state populations, in a system where heavy atom perturbation is present, have been analysed lQ5and deuterium isotope effects on the radiative decay of heavy-atom-substituted aromatic molecules reported.lQs The photophysical parameters of a series of chargetransfer complexes of hexamethylbenzene (an electron-donor) with phthalic anhydride and its monohalo- and tetrahalo-derivatives, measured at 90 K, indicate that changes of decay times and fluorescence to phosphorescence quantum yield ratios are due to the heavy atom effect on the charge-transfer phosphore~cence.~~~ The fluorescence of all-trans-retinal is enhanced by halide salts. This effect, which contrasts with the heavy atom quenching of aromatic molecules, has been attributed to an enhancement of the fluorescence radiative rate constants as a result of interactions between the cation of the halide (e.g. K+) and the retinal.1a* Heavy atom effects on the photodimerization of acenaphthalene,lQQthe photochemical reduction of N-acetyldiphenylketimine by toluene and the corresponding addition,200the photochemistry of dixanthylidene,201the triplet states of dimethyl- and dihalo-xanthones,202and the photorearrangement of quinoline-l-oxide 203 have been reported.

3 The Triplet State Radiative and Non-radiative Processes.-Quantum yields of intersystem crossing or triplet quantum yields are probably the most difficult of the basic photophysical parameters to obtain, although there are several techniques available. A development of an earlier technique 204 has been used to obtain OT values for a wide range of aromatic hydrocarbons and some other compounds. The technique depends upon the use of a standard to act as the actinometer. Thus the standard of known triplet quantum yield is subjected to laser flash.

these conditions, the upper triplet states produce ketyl radicals.2az The triplet states of carotenoids from photosynthetic the Arrhenius parameters for the photocleavage of butan-2-one triplets,224and the results of direct measurement of carbonyl triplet lifetimes in polymer solutions have been examined.225 For a small energy gap between Tland T,, the sparse density of TI vibronic levels isoenergetic with the T2 vibrationless level leads to slow Tl + 7 ' ' internal conversion. This situation exists in some aromatic carbonyl compounds and leads to dual phosphorescence. A non-interactive density-of-states model has been used to examine the situations when TI is n,r* in character and T2is r,r* in character and vice versa. Interesting temperature effects on phosphorescence are predicted.226The triplet lifetimes of benzophenone in the aqueous solutions have been obtained for the pH range 9.3 to 1.3. Reaction of triplet benzophenone with H30+ ions gives a short-lived These results should be compared with those produced in a study of benzophenone phosphorescence in acetic Light-absorbing transients formed in the photolysis of benzophenonehydrogen donor systems have a profound effect on the kinetics of the system in that they not only absorb light but are diffusion-controlled quenchers of triplet benzophenone (cf. benzpinacol k, = 4 x lo61 11101-1 s-l). The precise nature and lifetimes of the light-absorbing transients will vary a great deal for different aromatic ketones and solvents and so these results should be interpreted with care.,,* A bond-order-bond-energy method which assumes a pure radical mechanism (no charge-transfer involvement) has been used to calculate the kinetic parameters for the reactions of carbonyl triplets with various substrates having X-H bonds (where X is not carbon). One point of importance in this study is that abstraction of a hydrogen atom from N-H and O-H may be more important than previously The synthetic utility of intramolecular hydrogen atom abstraction by benzophenone derivatives has received further attention.230 In a related study, a method for using the phosphorescence of benzophenones as a probe for the conformation of hydrocarbon chains in polar and protic solvents has been developedZ3land the extraction of Faradic signals from flash photocurrent measurements of benzophenones has been Vibronic effects in the triplet states of anth hone,^^^ an analysis of the absorption and emission spectra of the lowest n,r* triplet state of 9,lO-anthraq~inone,~~~ and the appearance of a-diketone phosphorescence from ozone-olefin reactions have been discussed.236 2Z2

Electron-impact spectroscopy has been used to determine the triplet energy levels of thiophene, furan, and pyrrole. The values obtained 3.99 and 5.22 eV for furan, 3.75 and 4.62 eV for thiophene, and 4.21 eV for pyrrole show that the lowest triplets have energies close to that of benzene (3.95 eV) and quite well separated from the cyclopentadiene triplet (3.1 eV). These facts fit the model where the lone pair of electrons on the heterocyclic atom are donated into the ring 7r-electron While the main decay mode of tryptophan triplets in poly(viny1 alcohol) is almost certainly the result of triplet-triplet interactions, for wool reactions in the presence of air, tryptophan triplets are mainly deactivated by interaction with The triplet states of 1- and 2-methylindazole have similar absorption spectra with maxima at 420 and 405 nm respectively, and lifetimes of s.238 The diazines : pyrazine, pyrimidine, pyridazine, quinoxaline, and phthalazine, have been the subject of a laser-flash investigation.

Thus %,v*triplets are efficiently quenched by hydrogen atom donors and by certain inorganic ions which exhibit CTTS character. The quenching of %,v* triplets is on the other hand inefficient.239 Because of the very small absorption which occurs on flashing pyridazine, little information on this molecule was obtained from the above study. However, other workers have concentrated on pyridazine, and using naphthalene-d8 as the acceptor and emitter have obtained the So-T absorption spectrum of pyridazine with the sensitized phosphorescence technique.240 A photochemical determination of a new acid-base equilibrium of thionine in its triplet a study of the triplet states of morphine and d i a r n ~ r p h i n e an ,~~~ analysis of the reactivity at different sites of the triplet states of 4-acylpyrimi d i n e ~ and , ~ ~ studies ~ in the 2,3,7,8-tetramethoxythianthreneseries revealing a novel ground-state triplet di-cation 244 have been reported. 238 237

Photochemistry

Models for the triplet-state geometric isomerization of azomethine dyes have been presented. Two pathways are available in general, (i) torsion about the azomethine bond, and (ii) inversion about the nitrogen atom. The mechanism for isomerization in any dye is largely dependent upon the nature of the aromatic s u b s t i t ~ e n t s .The ~ ~ ~triplet states of EDA complexes of aromatic hydrocarbons with a range of electrophilic olefins have been studied using phosphorescence, e.s.r., T-T absorption spectroscopy, and microwave-induced delayed phosphorescence The radiation-induced formation of naphthalene singlet and triplet states in hydrocarbon solvents has been examined.247 Triplet Quenching and Triplet Energy Transfer.-The identification and characterization of triplet excimers is still relatively novel and for this reason a recent report on the kinetics of triplet excimer formation in the naphthalene and l-chloronaphthalene systems is interesting.

interesting picture of the concentration and time-dependence of excimer formation. These and other results can best be explained by Scheme 7. Where kl’[lMo] is the triplet-state quenching (by a ground-state molecule) rate.248 Comparison of the interactions of ground-state oxygen and p-carotene with stilbene triplets suggests that electronic excitation is not transferred to oxygen. Rather, an encounter complex between stilbene and oxygen leads to ground-state oxygen and twisted stilbene ground-state molecules. Thus in the case of triplet quenching of the twisted stilbene triplet state by /3-carotene, trans-stilbene is produced almost exclusively, whereas oxygen (having the same lowest S-T energy gap) produces a photostationary state of close to 50 : 50 cis : trans isomers. The implications of these findings may be important for other flexible molecules having triplet state P.E. minima close to ground-state P.E. maxima, since in these circumstances only weak perturbations may be necessary to induce ~pin-exchange.~~~ Reports of the uranyl-ion-sensitized isomerization of stil246 248 247 248

Good exponential dependence of the rate of triplet-triplet energy transfer on intermolecular separation is obtained with energy transfer occurring over distances greater than 10 A.266 Although the spectroscopic triplet-state energy levels of alkenes can be obtained in a number of ways, the energy levels of relaxed triplets and particularly the triplet lifetimes have proved very difficult to measure. However, some useful results in this area have now been obtained from the pulse radiolysis of a benzene solution of norbornene containing some anthracene. The principle behind the experiment is that triplet benzene produced by the pulse transfers energy to norbornene which acts as an energy carrier to sensitize anthracene triplet formation. Thus measuring the time dependence of anthracene triplet formation and assuming that the rate of delayed triplet formation is controlled only by equations (30) and (31), the relationship (29) holds. The above allows the triplet lifetime of k,, = k,

Using a range of aromatic hydrocarbon acceptors, the triplet energy of norbornene was bracketed between that of chrysene (ET= 19 800 cm-l) and naphthalene (ET = 21 200 cm-l), and this value is at least 5000 cm-l below the energy of the spectroscopic (vertical A comparative study of the interactions of a number of aliphatic and aromatic ketone triplets with aliphatic amines in the gas-phase and solution has been carried out.

A review of coherent two-photon processes,27oin which transient and steadystate cases are discussed, has appeared, and biphotonic processes in aniline 271 and in weak charge-transfer complexes 272 have been investigated. 5 Photo-oxidation In order to conserve space this section has been reduced in size compared with previous years. For other important references in this area see Part 111, Chapter 5. The role of the superoxide radical anion 0,' in photo-oxidation mechanisms has been of considerable interest in recent years, and some of the kinetic parameters involving this species are now becoming available. In a study designed to probe the interactions of superoxide and singlet oxygen (lAg), two species which may be found together in biological systems, the superoxide was found to quench lo2in aprotic solvents with a k , of 3.6 f 0.1 x lo71 mol-1 s-l. This relatively high rate constant may be related to the low binding energy of the extra electron in the superoxide radical anion (0.43 f 0.03 eV) by analogy with '~ other electron-rich singlet oxygen quenchers (e.g. amines and s ~ l p h i d e s ) . ~These results also tend to rule against a suggested mechanism for the formation of lo, by the disproportionation of the superoxide, equation (32). Since the dispro2H20

+ 0,' + 0,'

portionation reaction is slower than quenching, process (32) can hardly be an important source of lo2.More recent work on the above quenching process in the same solvent acetonitrile gave a much higher value for k , (7 f 6 x lo9 1 mol-1 s-l). The difference may be accounted for by an efficient decay of 0 , ' which occurs in acetonitrile. In dimethyl sulphoxide, k , was found to be 1.6 x lo9 I mol-1 s-l, which is only a factor of ten below the value for /3-carotene. Interesting as these studies are, it is apparent that in biological systems neither the disproportionation of superoxide nor superoxide quenching of lo2can be of great importance, since the concentration of superoxide in aqueous solution can never be very The photo-oxygenation of triethylamine sensitized by Rose Bengal has been shown to involve both singlet oxygen and radical intermediates (Scheme 8).

3 Gas-phase Photoprocesses ~~

BY D. PHILLIPS

1 Introduction The trend noticeable in recent years of an increasing volume of published work being concerned with small molecule and atomic systems, particularly those of interest in aeronomy and atmospheric chemistry, has continued this year. For this reason, the final section of this chapter contains a very large number of references, although lack of space has prevented expansion of this section. The book ‘Chemistry of the Atmosphere’ by M. J. McEwan and L. F. Phillips (Edward Arnold, London, 1975) provides a useful review of photochemical processes in the atmospheres of Earth and other planets. 2 Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes There have been comparatively few papers in this area this year, so separate headings for the different chromophores have not been retained. Chemiluminescence from CO+(x21T)has been observed in a beam experiment through reaction (l), and evidence was given that the CO+(L211)is formed with abnormally high rotational excitation for collision energies of 3.6 eV.l

The radiative lifetimes of the N’ = 3-15 rotational states of the BE- state of CH vary only slightly, between 300 and 400 ns, increasing slightly with increase in N’ up to N’ = 14;3 the N’ B 15 levels have much shorter radiative lifetimes. Emission from the X3n,,, binu, and z3zg-states of C , produced in the reaction of hydrogen atoms with halogenated compounds (CH2-nX2+n, X = C1, Br, or I) shows that the initial relative populations of these states, produced by reaction (2) are 10 : 400 : lOOO.* C 1 2

spectroscopic method with dye laser excitation has been applied to the 619 nm band of CH, and the 645 nm band of NH,.S Evidence has been presented that in the photolysis of CH4 and CD, in the vapour phase at 123.6 and 104.8 nm, methylene is formed in the hlB, state.' Reactions of methylene are discussed in Section 4. Photolysis of methane-water mixtures with a low-pressure lamp gives rise initially to formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and methanol, but upon prolonged irradiation, ethylene glycol, ethanol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, t-butyl alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone, isobutyl alcohol, t-amyl alcohol, and neopentyl alcohol are formed.8 Interestingly, the addition of Na did not affect the product distribution, a fact of some importance in understanding the chemical evolution of the primit ive atmosphere. Conflicting reports as to the origin of the methyl radical in the 123.6nm photolysis of propane may have been resolved by a study using chemical trapping techniques in the photolysis of [l ,l,l-2H3]propane.e The isotopic distribution of products was incompatible with reaction (6) being the source of CH3; reactions CH,*

have predicted that the photodecomposition of CH2F, will primarily consist of C-H cleavages at threshold excitation energies, but that at higher energies C-F bond cleavage will become possible.12 This unsurprising view has yet to be tested by experimental work. Because of the strength of the C-F bond, and the low spin-orbit coupling constant for fluorine, fluorinated compounds will not be considered here to be typical halogenated compounds, and are thus not specifically grouped in Section 7 along with chlorine-, bromine-, and iodinesubstituted molecular species. Photolysis of ethylene at 185 nm yields hex-1-ene and butane in a ratio which lies between 0.6 and 1.4 at 298 K, dropping to 0.25 at 153 K.13 Reactions (I 6)-( 18) accord with incident intensity and pressure effects.

Hg(3P1)sensitization in l-methylcyclopentene l7 and penta-1,3-diene l8 has also been reported, as have the sensitized photolyses of hex-l-ene, ~is-oct-2-ene,~~ cisand trans-4,5-dimethylcyclohexenes,20 and cis-cyclononene.21 Each mechanism involves intramolecular hydrogen abstraction, and the major products from hex-l-ene are propene, trans-l,2-dimethylcyclobutane,and cis-l,2-dimethylcyclobutane with smaller amounts of methylcyclopentane, cyclo-hexane, and n-hexane. The major products in the direct photolysis of the 4,5-dimethylcyclohexenes were but-2-ene and buta-lY3-diene with smaller amounts of l-methylene-3,4-dimethylcyclopentane, whereas with HS(~P~)sensitization, dimers and other products of radical reactions were also identified. Photolysis of cis-cyclononene follows a similar course in that direct photolysis yields nona-l,8diene and vinylcycloheptane through internal conversion from the S, state, whereas the variety of products seen on Hg(3P1) and benzene (3B,,) sensitized photolysis can be accounted for by intramolecular hydrogen abstraction. In the flash photolysis of cycloheptatriene at 210nm benzyl radicals are ~ ~ to the thermal isomerization formed with a quantum yield of ~ 0 . 6in, contrast where benzyl is not formed. The molar decadic extinction coefficient of benzyl was determined as 6 x lo31 mol-1 cm-l at 253 nm. The effects of buffer gas on the optically pumped CH3Fi.r. laser,23the Dopplerfree two-photon spectroscopy of the v3 bands of CH3F (and v, bands of NH3),24 and other aspects of two-photon spectroscopy 26 have been reported. Highly structured emission in the 260-340 nni region has been observed in the reaction of 0, with C2F4, and attributed to an excited state of CF2.26 The emission is quenched by O,, but this is not due to the direct quenching of the emitting species, involving instead removal of a precursor to the CF,* species.

3 Aromatic Molecules A review has appeared of excimer (and exciplex) formation which discusses this phenomenon in aromatic molecules in Non-radiative transitions and luminescence in aromatic hydrocarbons have also been the subject of a brief report.28 The photophysics of benzene continues to exercise theoretical and experimental talents.

Gas-phase Photoprocesses

oscillators, subsequently modified to include displaced oscillators with frequency changes in going from the S1to levels, used a generating function of vibronically excited states which either does not give a closed analytical expression, or relies for solution upon factorizing out the optically excited mode. This restricts comparison to relative rate constants rather than absolute determinations. Even in the latter case many vibronic overlap integrals have to be calculated using the saddle-point approximation several times for each single value of a rate constant, which is a very tedious procedure. Metz has now produced a treatment applicable to displaced and distorted harmonic oscillators which give a closed-form expression for the generating function, and this permits easy evaluation of rate constant within the saddle-point approximation. The treatment allows the evaluation of rate constants within the weakly distorted and strongly distorted oscillator approximations, and results show that adopting the former model results in calculated absolute rate constants being too small by more than six orders of magnitude, with the deuterium isotope effect too large by a factor of 25 compared with experiment. The strongly distorted model is thus more appropriate. If it is accepted that S1+-T1intersystem crossing is the dominant decay channel in the lower singlet vibronic levels of isolated benzene (perhaps a contentious assertion), then it must be concluded that there are some modes in benzene with strong distortions between S, and Tl states in the form of frequency changes, anharmonicities, or mode-mixing. It may be however that internal conversion from S1could provide an alternative non-radiative decay channel which has not yet received the attention that intersystem crossing has to date. This point is taken up in a recent paper by Formosinho and Da Sil~a,~O who apply a somewhat more empirical tunnelling theory to the benzene problem. In this, the rate of conversion, k, from the potential surface of one electronic state to another induced by a single-bond stretching vibration of frequency v and reduced mass p is given by equation (25), where EIp is the excess vibrational energy

of the initial electronic state, D is the energy above the initial state at which crossing of the potential surfaces occurs (or the energy of dissociation for transitions on the repulsive side of the potential surfaces when no crossing occurs), A, is the barrier width defined in Figure 1, and r] represents the relative number of hydrogen atoms in the molecule, given that the C-H stretching mode is the vibration of importance, or the relative number of carbon atoms for processes involving C-C bonds such as isomerization. For spin-forbidden processes (25) is premultiplied by an empirical parameter. Morse potentials for C-H and C-C stretching frequencies, and reasonable values of displacements and the parameter D were used in the calculation of values of rate constants for S, -+ So internal conversion and S1 intersystem crossing as a function of vibronic state excited, values being normalized to two known absolute values of these rate constants by appropriate choice of the spin-restriction factor and the degree of unimolecular vibrational redistribution assumed to occur prior to electronic relaxation.

for instance the role of promoting modes in the intersystem crossing process, the agreement of the calculated values with experiment is impressive over the five orders of magnitude change in total ICNR for Ev from 0 to 1000 cm-l (corresponding to a total excess energy in S1of 5000 cm-l). The treatment clearly demonstrates that the energy dependence of the rate constant for internal conversion is stronger than that for intersystem crossing, and similar agreement between experimental and computed values of rate constants was obtained for [2H6]benzene. The theory was also applied to the Channel I11 decay process in benzene, and the conclusion was reached that at high energies, predissociation through (26) and fulvene formation accounted for the new non-radiative decay

channel. The absence of reaction products at excess energies corresponding to the onset of Channel 111 was explained on the basis of there being a shallow potential minimum in the curve crossing the S1potential surface along the C-H stretch normal co-ordinate (see Figure 1). The exact nature of this state is not identified. Two recent studies 31 on the two-photon excitation spectrum of benzene vapour have shown that the pronounced structure in the region of the 14; transition envelope is not due to separate electronic transitions, but is due to resolved rotational structure which appears because of polarization effects on rotational selection rules for the two-photon process. Lombardi et al. reassigned the vle(el,) and v15(b2,) vibrational frequencies in the upper state to 1330 and 1143 cm-l in CsH6 and 1209 and 81 1 cm-l in C6DB,respectively. Intramolecular and collisional processes which change the nature of an emitting state will in general give rise to non-exponential fluorescence decay characteristics, and monitoring of such total fluorescence decay has been used to study, for example, exciplex formation and vibrational relaxation in benzenoid hydrocarbons. Such time-resolved methods would be immensely more powerful if simultaneous spectral and time resolution were possible so that fully timeresolved emission spectra were available. Very recently, an apparatus has been described with pulsed excitation at 257.25 nni (from a mode-locked, cavitydumped, frequency-doubled, argon-ion laser) which employs pulse durations as short as 500 ps, at repetition rates of up to 5 MHz with conventional singlephoton counting detection and a unique gating system for the recording of time (1 ns)- and wavelength (1 &-resolved spectra from benzenoid hydrocarbons.32a A preliminary report on the collisional relaxation of 3 Torr benzene excited in the 6O, It, 14: transition shows that time-resolved spectra obtained with the observation gate coincident with the pump pulse are very similar to the isolated molecule total fluorescence spectrum obtained under conditions of continuous illumination, and with the gate set some 60 ns after excitation, the fluorescence spectrum is identical with that of the Boltzmann distribution of upper levels.32a Intermediate spectra were recorded, which permit a three-dimensional surface for the 31

This can then be simulated using appropriate models for the collisional vibrational relaxation This powerful technique has also been used to investigate isolated styrenes and substituted styrenes excited into the S2 state in the vapour phase.32c Conventional techniques showed that there was a dual exponential decay of the total fluorescence, compared with a single exponential decay for excitation into

Time-resolved spectra showed the presence of two different emitting states (see Figure 2) and it was clear that the short-lived component of the fluorescencewas emission from high vibrational levels of the S1state. The exact nature of the long-lived emitting state was not revealed, but the brief report indicates the potential uses of the technique for the study of isolated molecules. There have been some trivial corrections reported33a to an earlier paper concerned with the mechanism of electronic energy transfer in the vapour phase which included studies on benzenoid hydrocarbons; a theoretical treatment of energy-transfer processes has also appeared.33b A paper reporting the quenching of excited singlet states of substituted benzenes by heterocyclic molecules, alluded to in Volume 7, has now been published.34 Physical and chemical quenching processes in the photoexcitation of benzene-Me,SnH mixtures have been at 210 nm) has been at 265 nm, 2 x Weak fluorescence (@f = 4.4 x observed from 20 Torr chlorobenzene in the presence of 700 Torr propane.3* From a consideration of pressure and wavelength effects upon the values of @f it was concluded that a new non-radiative decay channel became of importance at wavelengths shorter than 240 nm. 33 34

113 A stochastic model developed earlier for describing vibrational relaxation in excited states has been applied3' to the problem of the formation and decay of the triplet state of naphthalene vapour in which radiative and non-radiative decay are in competition with vibrational relaxation in both singlet and triplet manifolds. Qualitative agreement with experiment was found. A Green's function method of describing non-radiative decay of the S2state of naphthalene in the solid state has also been reported.38 A thorough study of the singlet vibronic level of fluorescence of naphthalene and [2H,]naphthalene, giving spectral and kinetic data, has appeared.39 It was shown that the only non-radiative decay process occurring from the S1state of isolated naphthalene was intersystem crossing, which could occur through any of five mechanisms. Careful quantum yield measurements on singlet vibronic levels of naphthalene gave values of relative rate constants for ISC to fluorescence. For excitation into S2 and S, levels, an electronic relaxation process other than intersystem crossing becomes of importance. A triplet lifetime (the longest yet reported) of 4.2 ms for naphthalene for the 0: band of the phosphorescence was obtained, and it was speculated that strong self-quenching may determine this value. Further high-resolution work has been carried out on the electronic relaxation of n a ~ h t h a l e n e .This ~ ~ will be discussed in detail in the next Volume. In larger polyatomic molecules, the possibility of intramolecular vibrational redistribution occurring prior to or in competition with electronic relaxation is usually considered, and a recent paper has considered this phenomenon using two models.41 It was concluded that in all the cases of redistribution thus far documented (in benzene, naphthalene, aniline, 3,4-benzpyrene, pyrazine, biacetyl, benzophone, quinoxaline, Rhodamine-B, and pyrene), the rate constant for the process is usually small in comparison to rate constants for electronic relaxation, being in the range 5 x lo7 to 5 x lo4s-l, even for excess energies as high as 5000-10000cm-1. In the case of pyrene, however, a recent study42has concluded that the two-component fluorescence decay observed upon excitation of the S1state is due to levels arising from fast vibrational redistribution, giving a randomly distributed population of levels in S1,similar to that produced by internal conversion following excitation to the S , and S, levels, in addition to the initially excited levels, and that the total lifetime is dictated by the redistribution process. However, the effects of sequence congestion cast doubts on such interpretations. Perhaps the use of time-resolved emission spectroscopic techniques may ultimately give the evidence required for redistribution, particularly if used with molecular beams in which the complicating effects of sequence congestion can be eliminated. A theory for time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy based upon an earlier stochastic model for vibrational relaxation has also been applied to ~ y r e n e . ~ ~ ~ In a study of the excitation of the S2 level of pyrene at 170 "C (only 3900 cm-l Gas-phase Photoprocesses

above Sl), it was concluded that the dual S2and S, fluorescences (cf. ref. 42) were due to S, levels which are actually in equilibrium with S, levels, since the lifetimes were almost the same (the differences could be accounted for by the effects of sequence congestion), and the efficiency of collisional quenching by 0,of the two fluorescences were identical, and almost of unit value. The strong intermediate coupling between S, and S, gives compound states with an anomalously long S2 lifetime. Vibrational relaxation was assumed to be of the stepladder type, with ca. 1000 cm-l excess energy being removed per collision with cyclohexane. Very similar results have been reported for 3,4-benzopyrene vapour in which AEs,-s, 2000cm-l, i.e. the rate of reversible internal conversion between S, and S2exceeds the rate of radiative decay of either, and 0, quenching is parallel in S, and S1manifolds.44 Triplet absorption in the vapours of complex organic compounds has been reported by the same It has been suggested that the observation of S, fluorescence should be general, rather than exceptional, in all molecules for which the S,-S, energy gap is relatively small.46 A method of observation of S, components (from solid samples) based upon polarization measurements was suggested. The quenching of fluorescence of /3-naphthylamine, anthracene, phenanthrene, and 3,6-diamino-N-methyl phthalimide vapours by absorption of a second photon followed by non-radiative decay of the higher state produced has been r e p ~ r t e d . ~ ' Most photophysical measurements on isolated polyatomic molecules are plagued by the fact that at ambient or elevated temperatures, no matter how narrow the spectral bandwidth of the excitation source, simultaneous excitations of the spectral feature under study and hot v-v sequence bands are invariably experienced. The decay characteristics of the pure state are thus, with very few exceptions, contaminated by the effects of the decay of states produced in these sequence transitions. Since these are hot bands, their removal requires low temperatures, which in a conventional gaseous system are impossible. In molecular beams, however, polyatomic species with very low vibrational and rotational temperatures may be produced, and results from the use of such techniques could clarify enormously the confused situation in many species. A brief report of just such an experiment has appeared in which an effusive beam of pentacene,4* colinear with a 300 ns pulsed flash-lamp-driven dye laser tuned to the 0-1 transition of the So --f S1system of the aromatic molecule, is excited at right angles by a probe laser (N, driven tunable dye) which produces transient fluorescence, viewed by a photomultiplier. By scanning the probe laser through the 600-665 nm region, a transient excitation spectrum is produced. This transient is ascribed to a hot ground-state pentacene molecule produced via internal conversion from S,. The experiment clearly demonstrates the feasibility of such studies for elucidation of electronic relaxation rates in complex polyatomic molecules, and further developments are eagerly awaited.

Gas-phase Photoprocesses 115 The excess energy dependence of the fluorescence decay time and quantum yield of dilute vapours of tetracene and pentacene has been interpreted in terms of intramolecular vibrational redistribution occurring on a time-scale which is fast compared with electronic relaxation, provided the excess energy is For small energy gaps, however, studies on fluorene and p-naphthylamine indicate that vibrational redistribution will be slow in comparison with electronic relaxation For large energy gaps in the latter study it was shown that S1-+ Sointernal conversion was faster in a deuteriated molecule than in the protonated, contrary to what might be expected.

The photodissociation quantum yield for the benzoyl cation, protonated benzene, and protonated mesitylene has been shown to be close to unity in all cases.61 For benzene radical-cations there is evidence for the two-photon process (29),61 since dissociation occurs at wave-

lengths below the threshold. The intermediate may be the BElustate of the radical cation. The radiative lifetimes of excited benzyl, deuteriated benzyl, and methylsubstituted benzyl radicals (in EPA) have been measured as ,., s, showing that the first electronic transition in these cases is forbidden.62 However, an earlier report 22 gave the extinction coefficient for the benzyl radical at 253 nm as 6 x lo3I mol-1 s-l, which is large for a forbidden transition, but excitation here may not be to the fluorescent state.

appears to be the major dissociation process for COS, no evidence being given for the spin-allowed O(l0) production. The quenching of the fluorescence of glyoxal and CS, by application of a magnetic field has been reported exten~ively.~~ Stern-Volmer self-quenching slopes change by a factor of two upon application of fields up to 15 kG, implying that either the bimolecular quenching rate constant or lifetime of the emitter is field dependent.sg Lifetime studies confirmed that the lifetime is a sensitive function of field, due to enhancement of non-radiative decay of the glyoxal or CS, by the magnetic field. The non-radiative process is intersystem crossing to the triplet manifold as confirmed by phosphorescence measurements on glyoxal. Lifetime values showed that the second-order rate constant for self-quenching was constant at 5.6 x 10-lo cm3molecule-l s-l and independent of applied field.

glyoxal which is capable of explaining much of the earlier data of Lineberger et aL61 This may be summarized as (i) at zero pressure, S1+ TI ISC is absent; (ii) cross-sections for collision-induced ISC are large, and correlate well with those expected on the basis of complex formation, except for 02,CH,Cl, and CH,CN, and glyoxal itself; (iii) cross-sections increase linearly with excess energy; (iv) deuteriation does not change ISC rates from single vibronic levels in glyoxal ; and (v) cross-sections for rotational changes are extremely large, 150 A2. Freed's theory, based on an earlier note,6obconsiders that collisional broadening of vibronic levels is a possible mechanism for the conversion of small and intermediate case systems to the statistical limit. A further study on the fluorescence decay behaviour of glyoxal has confirmed the presence of two decay components.62 At low excitation energies (424.6 nm, 2 mTorr pressure) only a single exponential long-lived ( 900 ns) decay was observed, whereas at higher energies (e.g. 397.5 nm) a much faster exponential decay ( 10 ns) was observed in addition to the slow component. It was concluded that strong singlet-triplet vibronic mixing occurs in glyoxal only at higher excitation energies owing to the increasing triplet level density, and numerical values of parameters quantifying this coupling were obtained from fits to experimental data. The authors also point out the possibility of observing oscillatory decay behaviour in glyoxal at intermediate excitation energies. Fluorescence and phosphorescence excitation spectra at 600 mTorr pressure of glyoxal with and without 100 Torr He up to excess energies of 6000 cm-l in S,(lA") have been compared with values of quantum yield of CO production over the same wavelength region.63 The data suggest that the excited singlet state is the photochemically active one, but that the collision-induced ISC discussed above governs the photochemistry by competition. A brief note describing the application of time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy (see also ref. 32) to glyoxal shows very clearly the different nature of the emitting states responsible for the slow and fast decays seen when total fluorescence is m ~ n i t o r e d .Thus ~ ~ when only those emitted photons coincident with the pump pulse are admitted to the detection system through a 50 ns wide gate, a highly structured fluorescence spectrum is observed. When the position of the gate is altered to much larger delays after the excitation process, e.g. 1000 ns, the fluorescence spectrum is radically different. Double-exponential decay in methylglyoxal vapour has also been observed, and this phenomenon has been further studied 66 Analysis of the data has been based upon the concept of a kinetic reversible intersystem crossing (Scheme l), whereas that of van der Werf et aLp2for glyoxal uses an alternative quantum mechanical coupling approach, although these may be taken to be eq~ivalent.~' In Scheme 1 initially prepared levels of the S,(lA") state of methylglyoxal may decay radiatively ( k f ) , internally convert (/&), or cross to triplet N

levels (kist). The triplet levels may decay unimolecularly with rate constant kx, bimolecularly ( k p p ,where p is gas pressure), or reverse the ISC process (kr). For steady-state excitation at 435.8 nm, plots of total fluorescence intensity If/p (=Of)against p do not show normal Stern-Volmer behaviour. Analysis in terms of Scheme 1 reveals that equation (34) should hold, and thus plots of

If/p against l / p should yield straight lines. This behaviour was observed, giving a value for kJk, of 0.063 k 0.005 Torr-l, in satisfactory agreement with values from decay work of 0.048 Torr-1.66 The model seems to be valid, and the authors make the point that the behaviour of benzene at low pressures is very similarY6* implying that a similar model may be applied to the aromatic species. This is an important point and is worthy of further investigation. Amplification of the static study above to include decay measurements 66 has stressed the similarities of the behaviour of glyoxal, methylglyoxal, and biacetyl when analysed in terms of Scheme 1 , which shows the excitation and decay paths of methylglyoxal. The data are summarized in Figure 3, from which it can be seen that the rates of the fast decay process (as a function of excess energy) lie on the same line for all three molecules, and this can be interpreted as the S, +- Tl or Tz ISC process (ki). The slow decay rate can be decomposed into two contributions k,(= kIc + kf) and k,( = kx k p p ) . For low-energy excitation the decay of glyoxal is dominated by k,. Above 3000 cm-l the decay of biacetyl and glyoxal is dictated by kx but in methylglyoxal k, is still the dominant contribution. The processes on this analysis are thus all similar, with behaviour being determined by density of states functions. It should be noted that Van der Werf et aLB2have concluded that although phosphorescence is collision-induced in both glyoxal and biacetyl, the mechanism of phosphorescence induction in these molecules cannot be the same. In biacetyl, because of the high density of triplet levels the molecular eigenstates are almost pure triplet, and collisions transfer the molecule to a lowlying and thus long-lived triplet state, of high phosphorescent yield. In glyoxal the situation must be different since the triplet level density is low, and in this case collisional broadening of the zero order levels,60clfollowed by vibrational relaxation in the triplet manifold, may provide the ISC mechanism. Other simple aldehydes have been studied. The U.V. absorption spectrum of 2-furaldehyde has been shown to have two bands between 26 000 and 34 000 and 36 000 and 41 000 cm-l, respectively due to x l A ’ +-JIA’(nnS) and x l A ’ + BIA’(nn*)transitions.60 Studies on a series of ‘isolated’ linear aldehydes give

results summarized in part in Table 1.70 Notable features are: (i) the radiative lifetime T~ is within a factor of two of that calculated using the Strickler-Berg formula for the C3, Cp,C5, and c6 aldehydes, but T(SB) > 7, by a factor of six for acetaldehyde; (ii) large asymmetric aldehydes behave differently from symmetric methyl-substituted acetones and formaldehyde, presumably because of differing equilibrium geometries in the Inn* state, the larger aldehydes being more planar; (iii) The magnitude of kist of 2-3 x lo8 s-l for asymmetric aldehydes is comparable to that for ketones; (iv) formaldehyde behaves uniquely in that kr and k , are different from other members; (v) acetaldehyde is very similar to acetone; (vi) the total non-radiative decay in asymmetric aldehydes is made up of contributions from Sl Tl intersystem crossing, and Type I1 photochemistry. The latter process becomes of increasing importance at higher excitation energies in aldehydes with a y-hydrogen atom. Some theoretical considerations of lower excited states of tram-polyene carbaldehydes, including acrolein, have been recorded,71 and autoxidation of acetaldehyde (in the liquid phase) has been extensively reported.72 The photosensitization of polymerization on a surface of penta-1,3-dienes in the gas phase using benzaldehyde as sensitizer is a recent example of heterogeneous photo~atalysis.'~ The photochemistry of acetone has been studied for the past fifty years or so, and it is a great pleasure to note that one of the pioneers in this field is still producing new results on the system.'* The main conclusion in this recent work is that the recombination of acetyl radicals (35) is a wall reaction. -f

The interactions of the triplet states of acetone, pentan-3-one, and biacetyl with dimethyl-, trimethyl-, diethyl-, and triethyl-amines have been compared in the vapour phase and in It was found that the reactivity is less in the vapour phase and largely involves radical abstraction rather than charge transfer.

The electronic absorption spectra of many alkyl peroxyl radicals produced by the mercury-photosensitized reactions of ketones, azo-compounds, biacetyl, and hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen have been re~orded.'~ A recent study on the photophysics of fluorinated acetones in the vapour phase has suggested that in addition to the role of geometry changes between inn* state and ground state, changes in the frequency of out-of-plane bending vibration may be of importance in determining the magnitude of kr, the radiative rate constant for singlet state decay,8owhich was found to have a greater than linear dependence on the frequency of this promoting vibration for the radiative transition. Of perhaps more interest, it was shown that the 'excess' rate of nonradiative decay over that for the zero-point level of the inn* state in l,l,l-trifluoroacetone correlated very well with the simple calculations of Gillespie and Lim81 of the rate for S, + So internal conversion, indicating that at excess energies greater than 4000cm-l, the internal conversion may be the dominant non-radiative decay path. A similar conclusion has been reached for the case of hexafluoroacetone in a study in which quantum yields of decomposition were measured as a function of pressure at 24 "C and X = 313 nm.82 Best fits to the data were obtained with a model in which internal conversion to So from the ' Inn* (S,) state increases in importance with respect to intersystem crossing to 7 as the excitation energy is increased. A brief study on the phosphorescence decay of l,l,l-trifluoroacetone vapour has yielded results at variance with earlier Possible reasons, including trace impurity quenching, are discussed. Reactions of trifluoromethyl and methyl radicals generated by ketone photolysis are discussed on p. 123. Cyclopropanone vapour has been shown to have unit quantum yield of photodecomposition from 291 to 365 nm, with a fluorescence yield at 365 nm of 6.8 x and quantum yield of ethylene formation of 0.60 at this wavelength rising to unity at 291 nm.84 The suggested mechanism is shown in reactions (3 6)-(4 1).

out on this thermal decomposition process.8s It was found that for a given excess of energy the perfluoro-compound reacts slower than cyclobutanone, whereas the oxetanone reacts faster. For the butanones, a step-ladder deactivation process is appropriate, and fits show that 3-6 kcal mol-l energy is removed per collision with propylene. The cyclobutanones and cyclopentanones have also been studied in matrices at 20 K, and the fact that strong phosphorescence is observed from cyclopentanone and perfluorocyclobutanone whereas none is seen in cyclobutanone itself argues that predissociation in the last ketone at high-lying levels is very rapid.8g The photochemistry of the anhydrides (R,CO)aO (R = CF, or C2F,) is simple in that the quantum yield of CO production (ca. 0.25) is independent of the presence of mercury and of pressure, and changes little over the wavelength region 190-250 nm.87 Thus the compounds have potential as vapour-phase primary actinometers at 254 nm, particularly since the molar decadic extinction coefficients are relatively high at these wavelengths, being 59.2 and 79.5 for the CF, and C,F, compounds respectively. Weak emission with total quantum yield 2 x and 2 x for CF3- and C,F,-substituted compounds respectively was seen, and in the absence of any sensitized emission from biacetyl or cis-trans isomerization of but-2-eneYa simple mechanism was proposed to account for the observations, neglecting the inefficient emission process. Associated with photoexcitation of ketonic species is the recent observation of chemiluminescence from simple ketones arising from thermal decomposition of dioxetan molecules. A review has been published,88and it has been shown that even the simplest dioxetan can give rise to chemiluniinescence (from excited formaldehyde in this case), although the dioxetan itself cannot be Reactions in Scheme 2 account for the observed emission. Thermal decomposition of other oxetans,BOn 91 including 3-ethyl-3-methyl- and 3,3-diethyl-oxetanesYg1 has been described. 88

Scheme 2

Photoionization of vapours of acetic acid and alkyl-acetates has been described,g2 and the method of threshold photodetachment of electrons from phenoxides has been used to obtain the following values for electron affiniEA(o-CH3C6H40*)21 EA(C6HsO*)< 2.36 eV; EA(o-ClC,H,O*) d 2.58 0.08 eV; EA(C,H,S-) < 2.47 rt 0.06 eV. Free Radical Reactions.-Since studies on free radical reactions frequently use photochemical excitation of ketonic and related species as a means of production, some are considered below. Calculations on the excited state of ketenyo4 the 3A2and 3B2states of m e t h ~ l e n e , ~ ~ and the CH2(lA1) H2g6 and 3CH2 H2 and CH, O7 reactions have been performed. In the last study it was shown that for the reaction with methane there is a barrier height of some 7 kcal mol-l, consistent with BEBO calculationsYg* but not with earlier MIND0 calculations.gg A barrier of this height would exclude the reaction at room temperature. Excitation of keten-cis-but-Zene mixtures in the wavelength region 313-250 nm (lA" +- lAl transition in keten) and at 214 nm (lB2+ lAl) gives results which are consistent with the Z3B1 and @Al states of methylene being produced in constant ratio over the long-wavelength range, a perhaps surprising result.loO At 214nm, some CH2(b1B1) was also produced (as observed in the photolysis of methane at 123.6 and 104.8 nm7) and this contributes to formation of non-stereospecific addition products. The percentage of CH2(3B1)formed at 313 nm has been estimated at 30% from studies on keten-propane and keten-neopentane rnixtures,lo1of which some 85% is formed directly in the keten photodissociation, and the remainder by collisional deactivation of CH2(lA1). The decomposition of keten from the lA" state is thought to proceed via internal conversion to a hot ground state. Other studies lo2 suggest that at wavelengths longer than 313 nm, the yield of CH2(lA1)relative to that of the ground-state methylene is drastically reduced, measured ratios having the values [1.0] (313 nm), 0.16 (334 nm), and <0.0006 (366 nm). If correct, this implies that previous estimates of lCH2 production at 366 nm are in error, and would indicate that internal conversion of keten at long wavelengths of excitation becomes inefficient, perhaps intersystem crossing being favoured. Such notions are in line with current thinking about simple aliphatic ketones.

124 Photochemistry The photolysis of keten at 325 nm has been used as a source of lCH2 for reaction with methylenecycl~propane.~~~ A complex mixture of products resulted, including ethylene, allene, methylenecyclobutane, methyl methylenecyclopropane, ethylidenecyclopropane, isoprene, and spiropentane, and RRKM theory was applied to the reactions of hot spiropentane. Results were most satisfactory for multistep deactivation of this species with 7.20 kcal mol-l removed per collision. Some interesting reactions of CF, and CF with NO have been studied using mass spectrometry and laser-induced emission.lo4 The species were produced by the flash photolysis of CF,Br, and CFBr,, and results challenge earlier interpretations of such systems.

Photochemistry

A study on the photochemical dissociation of nitrosyl chloride has been reported,141and a suggestion made that the species N,S is responsible for laser action in the chemical laser N2-CS, 143 Evidence has been given for predissociation in the c2Z+state of NS in that the intensities of the bands corresponding to u’ = 1, v’ = 2 relative to u’ = 0 are very weak.144 NSF is a molecule which resembles SO, in that it is a bent ground-state triatomic with 18 valence electrons, but a recent study shows that the excitedstate properties are very different.lq5 Whereas the first electronic state of SO, in the 26@-340 nm region is very strongly perturbed by ground-state levels, giving rise to dual fluorescence, NSF appears to be free of such effects. For low-lying vibronic levels the measured single-exponential fluorescence decay time is of the order of 10 ps, and this only shortens dramatically at an excess energy of some 4500 cm-l, when a unimolecular non-radiative decay process, probably photodissociation, becomes of importance. Photolysis of azo-compounds is often used as a convenient source of free radicals (see, for example, refs. 109, 121-123), but work is still reported concerning the primary photolysis mechanisms of such compounds. Thus photolysis at 366 nm of azoethane at very high pressures of added helium (60-140 atm) can result in quenching of the excited state, and the study concludes that RRKM assumptions are valid for this The electronic absorption spectra of diazo-n-propane and diazo-n-butane have two bands, that at 22 000 cm-l being an l A N + lA’ transition, and that at 44000cm-l being l A ’ t lA’.14‘ In the was unity, independent of wavelength and pressure, and any visible region adecornp since it was not detected.

The number of very strongly luminescent polyatomic molecules is relatively small but, perhaps surprisingly, saturated amines are in this class. New results on the luminescence of the saturated amines NN’-dimethylpiperazine (l), NNN’N’-tetramethylethylenediamine (2), NNN’N’-tetramethylpro pane- 1,3diamine (3), and trimethylamine (4) have been A summary of the more interesting data is given in Table 3, from which it can be seen that the fluorescence maxima of (l), (2), and (3) are red-shifted with respect to (4). Compound (3) has two emission bands, that at 290 nm being ascribed to monomer emission, that at 365 nm to excimer emission. For compound (2), the results were explicable on the basis of Scheme 3, and rate constant values relating to this are given in Table 4.

Measured values of the radiative lifetime of 3,6-disubstituted derivatives of N-methylphthalimide (5) are in good agreement with calculated values (StricklerBerg relationship) except at 513 K, the lowest temperature used in the Experimental errors were blamed. The 'quenching' of luminescence in such compounds by absorption of a second photon was mentioned earlier.47 The l-nitropropane p ~ ~ n d ~ , ~ photochemistry of a-cyano-substituted n i t r ~ ~ ~ - ~ ~ m vapour,166and methyl nitrite 120 has been reported.

In the photolysis of the pyrazolines (6)-(8) in the Inn* state, for excitation near the onset of absorption, at 345 nm, the radiative and non-radiative lifetimes were measured as 380 and 529 ns, respectively, dropping to 85 and 91 ns, respectively, for excitation at 316 nm.lS6 It was concluded that dissociation in (6) and (7) is an excited singlet process resulting from rupture of a C-N bond: the resulting radical randomizes its energy amongst internal modes before subsequent dissociation. For compound (8) some 40% of the products appear to come from a hot ground-state molecule formed by internal conversion from S1,but the authors conclude that this is not a straightforward process, and may involve recyclization of the radical produced in C-N bond rupture in the parent species. Irradiation of pyridazine vapour at 365 nm and 110-160 "Cresults in elimination of nitrogen with quantum yield of 0.12, apparently by a singlet process.166 Photolysis of sym-tetrazine at 551.5 nm to give N2 and HCN can be used as a basis for isotope enrichment.167 An excellent thorough spectroscopic study on the lB,(Slnrr*) fluorescence from selected vibronic levels of pyrimidine vapour shows that extensive anharmonic coupling occurs in the excited state,15*and this may account for the two components in the total fluorescence decay of this species, one of duration 1 ns, the other of 10 ps.169 Isotope effects on vibronic coupling in pyrazine 160 have been discussed, and it was mentioned earlier 49b that in the case of @-naphthylamine,unimolecular vibrational relaxation appears to 163

In the photolysis of OCS at wavelengths longer than 105 nm, both S atom and 0 atom production are energetically feasible. However, the ratio of quantum yields @ s : @* was found experimentally to be b50.1a3 Some long-lived emission in the U.V. and vacuum U.V. seen in this study may be due to molecular fluorescence from OCS. The electronimpact excitation 16*and photoionization 57 of OCS have been reported, and the vibrational populations of CO produced in the reactions of O(3P)and O(l0) with OCS Emission from CS(zlTz) produced in the photolysis of OCS and CS, at 68.6-123.9 nm was discussed earlier,58 and 46.2-97.7 nm excitation (of CS,) has been shown to produce CS,+ in the B2Xcu+and states, which are seen in emission.166 The magnetic quenching of CS, fluoresc e n ~ eand , ~ ~a CO chemical laser from the photoinitiated CS,-0, system have been discussed. In a spectral study lee on the second excited singlet state of thiophosgene, emission was seen only from absorption processes which produced states 3"4" with rn or n = 0 or 1 (where v1 = C-S stretch; v, = C-C1 symmetric stretch; v 3 = CCl, scissor mode; v4 = out-of-plane bend; v5 = C-Cl asymmetric stretch; and v6 = CCl, rock); levels above these do not fluoresce.

The measured fluorescence decay time of selected levels of the 12(3110,,+) state show a clear inverse dependence on J ( J + l), showing that predissociation occurs,21gb as predicted from theory,21ga The fluorescence of I, excited by a single mode tunable dye laser has been further studied.220 As stressed earlier, the complexity of emission spectra of polyatomic and even small molecules often arises from the excitation of overlapping hot bands in the absorption act. This difficulty has been removed in a very elegant fashion in a recent study on I, by the use of a rotationally cooled beam of the molecular system, with rotational temperatures as low as 0.4 K, vibrational temperature 50 The resulting fluorescencespectrum is free of complications, as shown in Figure 4,and in the presence of He permits the observation of bands A and C due to HeI,, and B due to He,!,. The excitation spectrum of the fluorescence of the HeI, complex in the 2 -+ B system shows that predissociation occurs, with a rate constant of 5 x 1O1O s-l for the vl’ = 27 vibrational level, falling to < 5 x lo9 s-l for vl’ < 7. This exciting work clearly demonstrates the enormous advantages of molecular beams for photophysical studies, and further studies, particularly those using time-resolved methods, are eagerly awaited. Photofragment spectroscopy is another recently developed powerful spectroscopic tool, and has been applied lately to studies on Br2,,,, HI,,,* ICN,225 HCN,226and BrCN.226The first study confirms that the first absorption band in Br, is the overlapping of transitions to the XlU(3rI),80U+(311), and lU(lII) states.,,, The new technique of double-absorption photofragment spectroscopy was applied to In the photolysis of HI and DI at 266.2 nm (fourth harmonic of the Nd3+ laser) 36 k 5% of the product iodine atoms were produced in the The transition responsible is excited state for HI, 26 k 3% for DI.224 polarized parallel, as found also for ICN, and in HI corresponds to overlapping 3111,31-10+ and lTZ contributions. The parallel assignment in ICN is in disagreement with previous assignments. Both ground-state CN and CN(J211) were formed (the latter to an extent of 60%) and explanations offered included the following: (i) the simultaneous excitation of two different upper states; and (ii) the initial exclusive production of CN(A211) followed by quenching of a fraction of this by a ‘half-collision’ with the recoiling iodine atom.

Excitation of single vibronic levels of chromyl chloride vapour (CrO,CI,) is not possible owing to the degeneracy of the v,' and vqN modes in the gas phase, which thus results in simultaneous excitation of sequence bands.343 All levels except the zero-point level (of lifetime 1.34 k 0.08 ps) have lifetimes shortened by unimolecular non-radiative decay, the rate of which is strongly dependent upon the partitioning of energy into various excited-state modes. The apparent bimolecular quenching rate was 5.9 k 0.2 x 10-lo cm3molecule-l s-l.

10 Laser Isotope Separation The dramatic upsurge of interest in this area, for obvious commercial reasons, is evidenced by the large number of papers appearing on the subject during the past year, including two Many of these studies use very high powered i.r. lasers which selectively excite low-lying vibrational transitions in isotopic mixtures of simple molecules, and decompose these through multiphoton i.r. absorption by way of processes which are as yet not at all well understood. Papers on these subjects are simply mentioned here, and attention is focused on the few papers which report isotope separation through electronic excitation. Amongst subjects in the former category are included separation of D2,354 chlorine isotopes through HCl,365methylene CC14,357and CF2CICF,CI 358 i.r. laser irradiation, loB and llB separation using BC13,369-361 sulphur isotope separation using SF6,362i.r.-laser-driven specific reactions of the type shown in reaction (120),363an i.r.-laser-driven thermal explosion in C2H51,364 B(CH,),Br,

notwithstanding the differences between results from the two studies, it is evident that at the reduced temperatures in the stratosphere loss of ozone by reaction (136) may have been overestimated in previous models. An erratum to a previous paper on enhancement of O3 reactions by vibrational excitation of 0,71s and a report on intermode vibrational energy transfer in vibrationally excited ozone ?16 have appeared. Excited states of O3 near the dissociation limit ?17 and excitation of O3 by recombination ?18 have been reported on. As stated above, the quantum yield of O(l0) from O3 photolysis at 313 nm is temperature dependent,s76varying from 0.29 at 293 K to 0.11 at 221 K.676bRelative yields of O(l0) from O3as a function of excitation wavelength have been and flash 719 and laser 720 photolysis of O3 discussed, the latter study in ambient air leading to observation of fluorescence from the hydroxyl radical.

If the estimated ambient tropospheric OH concentration 660 of 3 x lo6 molecule cm-, is correct, the results shown in Table 8 give tropospheric half-lives of 0.3 years, 0.2 years, 0.05 years, and 1.5 years for CHFCI2, CH3Cl, CH2C12,and CHF,CI, respectively. Thus only the last compound and CF2C12and CFCI3 may reside long enough for transport to the stratosphere, where OH reaction provides a further destruction mechanism for CHF,Cl. When coupled with the fact that the rate of C1 attack on ozone is less than previously thought (see above), this suggests that recently expressed alarm at the use of Freons may have been an o v e r - r e a ~ t i o n although ,~~~ many authors suggest the contrary. Decay of electronically excited OH has atrracted some attention of late, and in one publication lifetimes of OH and OD(C2Z+) were measured as 2.9-1.8 ns, with no deuterium isotope effect, suggesting that radiative decay to O H ( Z 2 n i ) dominates the decay.73QPredissociation in the B-2 system of OD 740 and transition probabilities for the 2-2 system of OH741have been discussed. The radiative lifetimes of 0H(L2XC+)have been measured as 693 k 30 ns for u' = 0, 736 ns for v' = 1, with corresponding values in OD for v' = 0, u' = 1, and 730

Thus pressurebroadened linewidths in the molecule 773 have been reported, and the spectroscopy considered from a theoretical standpoint .774 The peculiarities of the system have long been known, and the theoretical treatment suggests that the x 2 A l and A2B2states are strongly coupled to give 2A’ states when asymmetric distortions are considered. This coupling manifests itself upon excitation to the nominal x 2 B 2state in the observation of two types of excited state which behave independently. For excitation in a beam with the 514.5 and 488 nm argon-ion lines,776 one set of states is observed with lifetimes of 1-3 p s whereas others have lifetimes of 30-100 ps, and these clearly decay principally by radiative routes. The perturbation by the ground state of the 2B2state has been further evidenced in another elegant beam study with the gas cooled to 3 and in the predissociation region (397.9-420 nm) again two sets of states, one fluorescent s) and one dissociative ( < ( 7 x s), are reached which behave independ e n t l ~ .In~ the ~ ~ last study it was shown that molecules may predissociate even if excited to vibrational levels below the threshold (398.0 nm) provided rotational excitation is present.

Part 11 PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF INORGANIC AND ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS By J. M. KELLY

1 Photochemistry of Transition-metal Complexes Recent publications of general interest include a monograph on inorganic photochemistry,l which nicely complements the earlier text of Balzani and Carassiti,2 a review of metal complex photochemistry covering the 1971-72 l i t e r a t ~ r e ,a~ summary of photochemical syntheses of inorganic compound^,^ and a discussion of spectroscopic investigations of transition-metal complex excited state^.^ The annual appearance of a report on luminescence properties of inorganic compounds in a sister Volume will be of interest to inorganic photochemists.6 The potential of transition metals for catalysis of the photodissociation of water has been recognized for many years. Balzani and co-workers have performed a useful service to inorganic photochemists by analysing the possible cyclic pathways for this process.’ (See also last year’s Report, p. 564.) This year has seen the realization of efficient production of molecular hydrogen and oxygen using visible light and monolayer-bound ruthenium@) bipyridyl complexes.* This remarkable discovery should provide an even greater stimulus to further research in this area. The quenching of electronically excited states of either organic or inorganic compounds by transition metal complexes is still an imperfectly understood process, despite the substantial number of studies carried out. Difficulties arise because of the variety of possible mechanisms (e.g. electron transfer, energy transfer, exciplex formation, catalysed inter-system crossing), and because of the sensitivity of the rate constant for quenching to such factors as solvent, transition metal involved, nature of the ligand, charge of the complex, and type of excited

A recent report considers the quenching of anthracene triplet by Cu2+,Ni2+,Co2+,and Mn2+,and of phenanthrene triplet by Ce3+,Pr3+,and Nd3+in methanol-water solutions over a wide temperature range (120-293 K).O At low temperatures, where the medium is viscous, the reaction rate is diffusion controlled but, in agreement with earlier work, the rate constants for quenching at higher temperatures are substantially below this limit. Under these latter conditions it is possible to calculate the intra-cage reaction rate constant k, [equation (1); T = aromatic molecule triplet state, Q = quenching kd +

metal ion]. The proposed mechanism for quenching is by energy transfer via exchange interaction. The low rate constants for quenching by the metal ions, despite favourable energy factors, are attributed to the relative inefficiency of transmission of the exchange interaction through the ligand solvent molecules. Energy transfer via exchange interaction is also the favoured mechanism for the quenching of the triplet states of organic sensitizers by tris(acety1acetonato)Fe"', -RulI1, - A P , and tris(dipiva1oylmethanato)Fe"' in benzene solution.l0V In this study the authors have recorded the efficiency of the quenching process as a function of sensitizer energy (Figure 1). This correlates well with the excited state energy of the metal complex acceptor determined spectroscopically. Thus it is apparent that energy transfer to metal-centred (ligand field) states of the Fell1 complex is substantially less efficient than transfer to its CT or intra-ligand states. These conclusions are confirmed by examination of the [Ru(acac),] complex where the ligand field states are at higher energy than the CT state, and for the [Al(acac),] species where only intra-ligand states are available. The considerable differences in rate constants for [Fe(acac),] and [Fe(dpm),] are attributed to the steric effect of the bulkier ligand on the efficiency of the exchange process. The influence of solvent environment on quenching rates has been examined for the interaction of anthracene triplet and Co2+ in mixed THF-water and t-butanol-water mixtures of various proportions.12 As was noted previously by the same authors for the naphthalene triplet, the value of the quenching rate constant passes through a minimum as the proportion of water in the organic phase is increased. This effect is ascribed to the changing nature of the solvation of the organic and ionic species. The general importance of electron transfer as a mechanism for the quenching of excited states of co-ordination compounds has been stressed by several reports this year. An illustration that this process may be responsible for the quenching of all classes of metal complex excited states has been given.13 Thus paraquat (1) deactivates the MLCT excited states of Ru"' complexes, the f-f* state of [Eu(phen),13+(phen = 1,lo-phenanthroline), and the intraligand excited state of Pd(octaethy1porphyrin). In all cases the mechanism proposed involves electron

another paper it has been demonstrated that the MLCT excited state of [Ru(bipy),I2+ is deactivated by [Cr(bipy),13+,and that the metal-centred luminescent excited state of [Cr(bipy),13+is quenched by [ R ~ ( b i p y ) , ] ~ +In . ~both ~ cases the mechanism is one of electron transfer, even though in the first example, energy transfer is energetically favourable. The rate constant for the dynamic quenching of UOZ2+excited state by metal ions in aqueous solution correlates well with the ionization potential for the metal ion involved, and therefore a mechanism involving electron transfer seems most suitab1e.l' Electron transfer has also been shown to occur on the quenching of the triplet state of phenothiazine by Cu2+and Eu3+ ions in aqueous sodium lauryl sulphate micellar The influence of transition metal ions on the photochromism of a spiro-indolene-2,2'-benzopyran has been discussed.l@ Other examples of sensitization and quenching studies are discussed in the section dealing with the particular metal. As noted in last year's Report, picosecond laser-flash photolysis should prove to be a valuable technique for investigations of the properties of the excited states of co-ordination compounds, particularly under conditions similar to those used in photochemical studies. The results of such an investigation with Fe", Ru", and Cr"' compounds have been reported recently,20and are especially interesting in showing that non-radiative processes such as inter-system crossing are very fast indeed (7 < 5 ps). Burdett 21 has presented a theory for predicting the course of non-dissociative photochemical isomerizations of transition metal compounds. The method 16 17

Photochemistry of Inorganic and Organornetallic Compounds 171 utilizes a simple molecular orbital approach based on consideration of metal d orbitals-ligand interactions. The site preference for the ligands in both excited and ground states is calculated from the particular d orbital configurations involved. For d s octahedral complexes it is presumed that the reaction proceeds by a thermal rearrangement of the excited state species to give the more stable excited state isomer. This then relaxes to the ground state. Good agreement is found with the experimental results for [Co(CN),(H,O),]- and Ru(PPh,),(C0)J2. For d8 square-planar compounds (e.g. Pt" complexes) the theory predicts that excitation of either the cis- or trans-isomer leads to the same distorted tetrahedral intermediate. This then decays back into the ground state, the proportion of cis- and trans-isomers depending on the position of intersection of the excited state and ground-state potential energy surfaces. As in previous Reports, the photochemistry of compounds of each transition metal will now be considered systematically. Transition metal organometallics, low oxidation-state compounds, and metalloporphyrins are the subjects of subsequent sections. Titanium.-A study of the photolysis of TiCI, in ethanol or methanol solution has been reported.22 Under these conditions the main species present in solution is solvated Ti(OR),Cl,. Irradiation at 300 nm leads to Ti"' and alkoxy radicals, which have been detected at low temperatures by a combination of e.s.r. and u.v.-visible spectroscopic techniques. The initial step in the reaction is presumed to be ( 5 ) (L = OR- or C1-). This is presumably also the first step in the lightTiIVL-

For most complexes it is clear that it is the lowest quartet state (4T2,in octahedral symmetry), and not the doublet (2Eu),which is photoactive, but this may not always be the case. Similarly, although stereochemical studies and experiments with macrocyclic ligands suggest that the substitution process proceeds via an associative rather than dissociative mechanism, conclusive proof of this is still lacking. These matters have been discussed in a short review,,O and in a detailed survey.31 Riccieri and Zinato 32 have published the results of a thorough investigation of the photoaquation reactions of tran~-[Cr(NH,),(H,0)Cl]~+ (4), trans[Cr(NH,)4(H,0)(NCS)]2+ (9,trans-[Cr(NH,),(H,0),l3+ (6), trans-[Cr(NH,),Cl,]+ (7), and trans-[Cr(NH,),(NCS)Cl]+ (8).

field bands of the complexes leads to aquation of the acido-groups, while NH3 aquation accounts for less than 10% of the reaction. Release of the axial ligand is accompanied by trans to cis isomerization. For example, the main products from (4) and (7) are those shown in equations (7) and (8). From a study of the wavelength dependence it could be shown that population of the lowest quartet state (4E)led almost exclusively to the labilization of the axial ligand, while the low yield of ammonia originated from the state, which lies at somewhat higher energy. (,E and 4B arise from the 4T,ustate under the non-octahedral symmetry of these complexes.) This is in accord with simple theory, which suggests that population of a a-antibonding orbital (the d , ~ orbital in the ,E state, or the d,+a orbital in the 4B state) should lead to axial or equatorial labilization respectively. As the authors point out, it is remarkable that cis-[Cr(NHJ427 Z8

Photochemistry of Inorganic and Orgaltometallic Compounds 173 (H20)ClI2+,which is the common product of the ligand field photolysis of [Cr(NH,)6C1]2+,of (4) and of (7) is formed in all cases with a quantum yield close to 0.4, despite the differencesin the labilized ligands (NH,, H 2 0 , and C1-). This leads them to propose that the constancy of this quantum efficiency may be indicative of a common photophysical process. For compounds (6)-(8) U.V. irradiation leads to population of CT states. Bond fission resulting from such excitation was much less selective than from that caused by population of ligand-field states. [For example, for (4) at 254 nm Ocl- = 0.21 and O)NB,= 0.29.1 In this case homolytic rupture of the bonds is implicated. However, before the fragments so formed can escape from the solvent cage, the oxidized ligand recaptures an electron from the Cr", and the net products are therefore those of heterolytic cleavage. The extent of the stereoselectivity of the photo-aquation reactions of CrII' complexes is well exemplified in a study of the ligand-field band photolysis of trans-[Cr(en),X,]+ (X = Br, Cl) (en = 1,2-ethylenediamine).,, In both cases the principal product is [Cr(en),(H2O)XIa+. Using quantitative ion-exchange chromatography, it was possible to show that for X = C1 the product is >99.2% cis-complex, and that for X = Br it is >95% cis-complex. It is unlikely that such stereochemical preference can arise from thermodynamic or kinetic factors following dissociation of the excited state. The authors therefore propose that this stereospecificity is strong evidence for a mechanism in which entry of the solvent is concerted with halide loss. In agreement with the results obtained with related compounds, the small amount of NH, substitution (a678 = 0.003; OD,,, = 0.075; @4oe = 0.042) appears to arise from reaction of the 4Bstate. Ligand-field band excitation of 1 ,6-[Cr(en)(H,O),Cl,]+ (9) leads exclusively to chloride aquation (see Scheme l).,* Although photo-induced exchange of the aquo-ligand is also possible, arguments are presented to demonstrate that this is unlikely. Products (10) and (11) are formed in similar amounts. [For (lo), O,,, = 0.12, 0 4 0 0 = 0.22; and for (ll), @589 = 0.10, 0 4 0 0 = 0.15.1 Although it might appear that species (10) is formed by a stereo-retentive process, it is more probable that it too has arisen by a cis-trans isomerization step involving the H 2 0 ligands. The absorption spectrum of complex (9) exhibits essentially no splitting of the 4A2g-+4T2g band, implying that the 4E and 4B states are close in energy. This compound is therefore suitable for testing the relative importance of 0- and n-bonding in the excited state. As only axial labilization occurs, it appears that a-antibonding along the ClCrCl axis is the predominant effect, and that n-bonding factors are of minor importance. excited state of [Cr(bipy),],+ is remarkably long-lived in solution, and The its decay can be monitored by emission spectroscopy or by conventional flash photolysis. As discussed earlier (ref. 16) this excited state is deactivated by [R~(bipy),]~+, and in turn [Cr(bipy)J3+ may quench the luminescent state of [Ru(bipy),12+. For both reactions it has been proposed that electron-transfer mechanisms are operative, and this has been confirmed by flash photolysis.s6 33

More recently it has been found in quenching 36 and flash photolysis 37 experiments that this [Cr(bipy)J2+ doublet state reacts with water to form a [Cr(bipy),(H20)l3+transient species.

yield for phosphorescence in the absence of quencher shows a similar dependence; that upon excitation at 514 nm being only 63% of that recorded for 436 nm excitation. Both these observations indicate that crossing to the doublet state is more efficient at wavelengths shorter than 496nm. The authors suggest that this is evidence for effective competition of ISC processes with vibrational relaxation of the quartet state. An alternative possibility is that ISC might be competing with solvent-restricted relaxation of the quartet state to its thermally equilibrated state. However, this possibility may be ruled out as it has been demonstrated that the activation energies for phosphorescence after excitation at 460 or 514nm are identical. The explanation proposed for this variation in quantum yield is that excitation at wavelengths less than 490 nm corresponds to promotion to a point on the 4T2,surface above the intersection with the 2E, state, whereas at longer wavelengths the point reached is below the crossover, and the configuration of the 4T2,state is close to that of its vibrationally relaxed state. To rationalize the efficiency of crossing, it is also necessary to assume that at the crossover the 4T2,state is already substantially distorted from Oh

Attempts to determine the lifetime of the 4T2,state in crystalline or rigid solvent matrices at low temperature have been performed using laser e ~ c i t a t i o n .42~ ~ , It was found that Cr(acac), and [Cr(CN),I3- in alcoholic glasses emit only phosphore~cence.~~ As no 'grow-in' of this emission can be observed, the lifetime of the initially formed 4T2, state must be less than 20 ns at 77 K, and less than 1 ps at 18 K. At 77 K [Cr(~rea)~],+ and [Cr(antipyrene),lS+show both fluorescence and phosphorescence, although in these cases the decays are none~ponential,~l1 4 2 and in the case of [Cr(antipyrene),13+ concentration dependent .41 The non-exponential nature of the [ C r ( ~ r e a ) ~ emission ]~+ decay has been found to be due to complexes in different environments. Most interestingly, it appears that the fluorescence is not prompt, but rather arises by thermal repopulation of the 4T2gstate from the 2E, state. This requires that the intersystem crossing from the 4T2,state must be very rapid indeed (k > log s - ~ ) . * ~However, Watson et al. state that because of the non-exponential nature of these emissiondecay processes, these compounds should be quoted as examples of delayed fluorescence 'only with due The c.d. spectra of a number of tris(fl-diketonato)Cr"' complexes have been determined following partial photo-induced resolution using circularly polarized light.43-45 The quantum yields for the photo-inversion are largest for tris(propanedialato)Cr"', and lowest for bulky-ligand-containing species such as tris(dipivaloy1methanaf~)Cr"'.~~ The influence of ligand deuteriation on the phosphorescence lifetimes of [Cr(NH3),]3+, [Cr(en),13+, and [Cr(NH,),(NCS),]- in rigid solution at 77 K has been in~estigated.~~ Effects are pronounced: e.g. for [Cr(NH,),],+ in methanolwater, T = 54 ps; for [Cr(ND3)J3+ in CD30D-D,O, r = 4350 ps. By comparison of these lifetimes with the frequencies for the ligand vibration overtone bands, it has been shown that a dipole-dipole mechanism is responsible for the non-radiative deactivation of these complexes. The phosphorescence lifetime of [Cr(CN),I3- has been studied in fluid organic solvents as a function of temperat ~ r e . ~The ' variation in lifetime for different solvents (e.g. at 25 "C, in D M F r = 6060 ps; in methanol, r = 19 ps) correlates with the solvent polarity parameter ET. This effect is ascribed to an enhancement of the radiationless decay of the complex produced by electrostatic perturbation of the solvent dipoles. Phosphorescence lifetimes in aqueous solution at room temperature have also been reported for [Cr(en),13+, [Cr(NH3)J3+, and [Cr(bipy),]3+.48 Other recent reports on luminescence from CrIII species include those on [Cr(en),I3+ and its deuteriated analogue,49 on [Cr(en),13++,[Cr(en),(ox)]+, and [ C ~ ( O X ) , ] ~on - , ~[Cr(NCS),(H20)6-,](3-n)+ ~ (n = 0_6),51 on CrS+ on various 41

This is assigned to a 0 ~ 7 7 ~ 6 ~ ( 6excited * ) ~ state, but it could be shown that this species is not that responsible for reaction (10).

This year, for example, the photoreduction of FeCl, or Fe(ClO,), in aqueous media is the subject of apparently contradictory reports.68,59 However, comparison of separate investigations is not easy as the course of the reaction is very dependent on the conditions used. Thus the quantum yield for Fe" production has been found to depend on the Fe"', Fell, and chloride ion concentrations, on pH, on excitation wavelength, on time of irradiation, and on the presence of radical scavengers (intended or accidental).68 Some of these problems arise because of 61

The authors also remark that the apparent contradictions on the nature of the primary photochemical step in the literature arise partly because of neglect by other authors of steps (18) and (19). For certain scavengers (methanol, 2-propanol, formic acid, but not t-butanol) the yield of Fe" increases linearly with the concentration of the organic compound.eo This behaviour is ascribed to outersphere oxidation by the CT states of (12)-(14) of non-co-ordinated scavenger. Very interesting results, which may be relevant to the above discussion, have been reported by Plyusnin and Bazhin for the low temperature (77 K) photolysis of Fe'II in the presence of high concentrations of bromide ion.g1 Under these conditions, the species present are FeBr, and [FeBr4]-.

identified after irradiation. These results suggest that no bromine atom actually leaves the co-ordination sphere of the iron atom. It is proposed that after the initial photo-induced charge transfer, oxidation of species present in the second co-ordination sphere takes place, leading to the observed results. Photolysis (350-600 nm) of aqueous solutions of ferric bromide, under conditions where the main species present is [Fe(H20)6Br]2+,produces bromine with a quantum efficiency of 7.5 x lo-, at room temperature.62 Cox and Kemp have studied the e.s.r. spectra of radicals formed on photooxidation of alcohols, carboxylic acids, amides, and ketones by ferric chloride and ferric perchlorate at 77 K. The behaviour of these systems is in general similar to that observed for CeIV photo-oxidations. As identical results are obtained with ferric chloride and ferric perchlorate, it is presumed that the ferric chloride photo-oxidations in these experiments are not induced by chlorine atoms. Other authors have described the e.s.r. investigations of the photo, ~ ~of cellobiose 65 by ferric ions. oxidation of a l c ~ h o l sand Photolysis of hydrated ferric perchlorate in acetonitrile solution apparently yields FeIV compounds, as the products obtained when this reaction is carried out in the presence of cyclohexanol parallel those found when [Fe0I2+is generated by other means.66 Irradiation of (16) in the presence of anhydrous ferric perchlorate in acetonitrile gives (17)-(19).67 The ratio of (18) to (19) is very different

from that observed with other free radical initiators, suggesting that the stereochemistry of the products is controlled by co-ordination of the radical to the iron atom.

expulsion, although at present it is not clear whether this is due to non-radiative conversion to the reactive ligand-field excited state or to photoelectron ejection with consequent production of [Fe(CN),C0I2-, which is expected to release CO spontaneously. In another study it has been confirmed that on laser flash photolysis the ejection of an electron from [Fe(cN),l4- occurs by a single photon process.76 U.V. light accelerates the evolution of hydrogen from ferrous hydroxide gels, apparently by causing the disproportionation of the Fe(OH), to elemental iron.’, Ruthenium and Osmium.-Reports on the photochemistry of ruthenium complexes continue to be dominated by those dealing with [Ru(bipy),12+. This arises because of the remarkable properties of its lowest excited state, which luminesces in solution at room temperature and which is a very strong reducing agent. Although it is commonly classified as a triplet (d-n*) MLCT state, Crosby and co-workers have previously warned about the inaccuracy of this ‘spin label’, because of the dominant role of spin-orbit coupling. This research group has now published a series of detailed articles on the CT excited states of [Ru(bipy),12+ and related c ~ m p l e x e s . ~ ~From - ~ @ consideration of the lifetime and quantum yield for the emission at low temperatures, it may be deduced that the lowest excited state consists of a manifold of three energy levels. The second of these (the E level) lies about 10 cm-l above the first (the A l level), but decays approximately ten times faster, while the A 2 level, which is about 60 cm-1 above the Al, decays about 250-300 times more rapidly than it. The low values for the energy gaps between these levels is an indication of the large separation of the promoted electron from the metal, a feature which is apparent in the role of these states as strong reducing agents. The absorption of this lowest excited state of [Ru(bipy),12+has been monitored both in water and in acetonitrile solution following pulsed laser excitation at 265, 353, and 530nm.80 From a determination of its extinction coefficient, and by quenching with retinol, it has been shown that the quantum yield for formation of the excited state is 0.5 k 0.1 (excitation at either 265 or 353 nm). This contrasts with the previously accepted value of 1.O. The excited state of [Ru(bipy),I2+ could not be detected in a picosecond laser flash photolysis study,20presumably 76

However, the nonphosphorescent MLCT excited state of [Ru(bipy),(MeOH)J2+ was detected and its lifetime shown to be 620 ps.

and co-workers on the properties of monolayers of the surfactant molecules shown in Figure 3.8 The absorption and emission properties of these monolayers on glass slides are very similar to those of [Ru(bipy),12+in solution. However, immersion of the slide in water completely quenches the luminescence of the complex, although addition of water has no effect on its emission in dioxan solutions. Further, irradiation of the monolayer assembly immersed in water with Pyrex-filtered light from a medium-pressure mercury lamp leads to the evolution of molecular hydrogen and oxygen (0E 0.1). The photosensitized decomposition of water appears to cause little permanent damage to the monolayers as over a thousand molecules of gas are evolved per molecule of complex. Recent work has demonstrated, however, that monolayers of highly purified substrates are inactive in inducing water photolysis. Although the mechanism for the process has not yet been elucidated, it is quite probable that the corresponding Ru"'

[Ru(bipy),12+has been found to act as a photocatalyst for the oxidation of Fe2+to Fe3+by molecular oxygen.82 The quantum yield for the reaction depends upon the pressure of oxygen and upon the effective hydrogen ion concentration, but is insensitive to the concentration of Fe2+.

As was mentioned in Section 1, electron transfer appears to be a quite general route for the intermolecular deactivation of the excited states of ruthenium(r1) complexes. Thus this mechanism has been shown to be operative in the quenching of [Ru(bipy),I2+, [Ru(phen),12+, [Ru(terpy)(bipy)(NH,)l2+ (terpy = 2,2',2"terpyridine), or [Ru(bipy),(CN)J by Fe3+ or paraquat.13 One of the most notable observations this year has been that [Ru(bipy),12+ excited state may undergo both reductive and oxidative quenching 149 l5 (see Table 1).

A photogalvanic cell has been constructed in which the cathode compartment containing a [Ru(bipy),12+-Fe3+ mixture is irradiated. This cell gives a current output comparable to that of the well-known iron-thionine system. Photo-induced electron-transfer reactions may be utilized in the study of highly reactive oxidized and reduced species such as organic radical-cations and anions.s4 For example, the recombination reaction (3 1) has been monitored following reduction of paraquat (P") (1) by flash-excited [Ru(bipy),12+, and subsequent oxidation of triphenylamine by the Ru"' complex [equations (32) and (33)].

Electron transfer from *[Ru(bipy),12+to the conduction band of SnO, gives rise to anodic photocurrents.8S The photocurrents may be quenched by Fe3+.

photo-induced electron-transfer forming (23), and thermal relaxation back to (22). The postulate that this process occurs by an inner-sphere mechanism is supported by the observation that [Ru(NH&,(~~Ac)]~+ (pyAc = 4-acetylpyridine) is not reversibly oxidized even in the presence of 0.35 mol dm-, Cu2+, although its spectroscopic properties are similar to those of [R~(NH~)~(pyrazine)]~+.

Irradiation of [R~(bipy),(N~)~]+ causes photoreduction of the complex [equation (34)].*' Although the lowest excited state has LMCT character, no free azide radical could be trapped by acrylamide. In a second light-induced

step, photosolvolysis of the Ru" complex occurs [equation (35)]. Photolysis of [Os(NZ)(NH3),]CI2has been reported to give [OS(NH,)~C~]~+ following initial photo-oxidation of 0s" to Os"', and subsequent photosubstitution of Nz by CI-.S8 Cobalt.-Photoredox reactions of Co"' complexes and theoretical models for these processes have been discussed in a recent review.8g Endicott and FerraudigOhave presented some new results for the photosubstitution reactions of Co"' and Rh"' complexes following ligand-field band excitation, and on the basis of these, they have critically discussed earlier theories 91 for the prediction of the products and quantum yields of these reactions. The experimental observations in this area are summarized by the authors as: (i) the quantum yields for pure LF band excitation of [Co(NH3),XI2+are in general small but very strongly wavelength-dependent, whereas those for [CO(CN)~X]~and for [Rh(NH3),XI2+are nearly wavelength-independent;(ii) complexes whose reactions are wavelength-independent have their lowest LF states at energies large compared to the activation energy for thermal ligand substitution; (iii) some correlations exist between non-radiative relaxation rates and photosubstitution quantum yields, but photoreactivity does not apparently increase with the lifetime of the excited state; (iv) the quantum yields are functions of medium conditions; and (v) the experimentally determined quantum yields do not correlate with ligand-field parameters such as the tetragonality parameter Dt. Therefore they propose an alternative model for these processes in which the reaction takes place from a vibrationally excited ground state. The role of the thermally equilibrated excited state is to provide a stereospecific distortion, which determines the configuration and momentum of the species when entering the ground state, and in this way it controls the nature of the products and the magnitude of their yields. Thus coupling between the excited state and the ground state may lead to reaction if the vibrational energy in the ground-state modes is greater than the activation energy for the thermal process and if a sufficient component of the momentum of the vibrationally excited system is along the critical reaction co-ordinate. Of course, for such a theory to be of predictive applicability much more detailed knowledge of both ground-state and excited-state potential energy surfaces will be required.

of the photochemical properties of [Co(NH3),NCSI2+with those of [Co(NH,),N3I2+is instructive as both the ligand field strength and oxidation potential of NCS- and N3- are similar.

The quantum yields for Co" formation and those for the aquation reaction are greater for [ C O ( N H , ) ~ N ~ than ] ~ + for [Co(NH3),NCSlZ+,and this feature has been attributed to the sulphur atom increasing the rates of radiationless deactivation processes, possibly by a heavy-atom effect. The quantum efficiencies for Co" production are also markedly dependent on the excitation wavelength and the solvent (Figure 5). In particular, photolysis at h < 280 nm in glycerol-water solutions results in a pronounced increase in the quantum 82

Photochemistry of Inorganic and Organometallic Compounds 187 Photolysis in the solid state leads exclusively to isomerization, and no Colt could be detected. By analogy with the case of [CO(NH,),NO,]~+,the isomerization is presumed to take place in the initially formed radical pair.

However, for the Co" ammine complex the high-spin (quartet) species is the stable state, and as this correlates with the reactive ,CT state, a low-energy pathway for the reaction is available. This difference accounts for the experimental observations. Although medium effects have been considered for photoredox processes, much less work has been carried out with photosubstitution reactions. An interesting study has now been reported by Scandola et al., for the photoaquation of [Co(CN),I3- [equation (46)].Q6The equation is known to proceed via

dissociation of the TIg LF state. Examination of the variation in quantum yield for the reaction in a number of alcohol-water mixtures reveals a strong correlation with solvent viscosity but no apparent dependence on the percentage water or dielectric constant (Table 2). This viscosity effect is attributed to the solvent

As the authors point out, this role of the solvent cage may cause the measured quantum yield to differ substantially from the primary value for bond cleavage.

Photosubstitution of [Co(CN),IS- by HzO and OH- is a convenient synthetic route to the corresponding complex [CO~~'(CN),X,-,]~- (m = 3 or 4, X = OH or H20).9gPhotochemical isomerization of [Co(CN),(H,O),]- favours the formation of the thermally less stable trans-compound (e.g. at pH = 3, @ = 313 nm, @)cje*ans = 0.30, @)ttonlrcje = 0.04).100In contrast with the thermal trans-cis isomerization, the photochemical interconversion proceeds via a nondissociative twist mechanism.

that the change in photo-aquation quantum yield parallels that for the ligand donor ability, although showing no correlation with parameters such as the absorption maxima in the absorption spectra. A relationship is also apparent between the photoreaction efficiency and the rate constant for non-radiative transition (/in). (As the emission is weak, T = l / k n . ) Of the possible mechanisms for the photosubstitution reactions the authors give serious consideration to the hot ground-state mechanism proposed by Endicott.DOHowever, no way of distinguishing between this and dissociative reaction of the excited state is obvious at present.

Photochemistry

The results of the photolysis of trans- and cis-[RhN,X,]+ [N4 = 2-en or cyclam (1,4,871l-tetra-azocyclotetradecane); X = C1, Br, or I] have been communi~ated.ll~ ?~~ ~ and compared with those of earlier reports on these syst e m ~11.6 ~With ~ ~the~ exception of cis-[Rh(en),Cl,]+, halide photo-aquation is the only process occurring. This reaction proceeds with retention of configuration. Quantum yields for the trans-complexes lie in sequence 0 1 - > @ ) B ~ - > @cI-, whereas the reverse order holds for cis-[Rh(cyclam),X,]+. In contrast with a previous report,l16 quantum yields are higher for CT than for LF band excitation. For cis-[Rh(en),Cl,]+ both ethylenediamine and chloride ion aquation were observed, although determination of the quantum yields was hampered by competing dark reactions. LF band photolysis of [RhC1613- yields [RhC1,(H2O)l2- with a quantum yield of 0.024.l'' This observation supports the hypothesis that for Rh"' complexes with weak-field ligands the photochemical reactions will proceed inefficiently. For photoredox reactions of Rh"' compounds it is important to understand more about the lability of the powerfully reducing Rh" species formed. This problem has been studied by following the decomposition of [Rh(NH3),C1]+, [Rh(NH3),(H20)I2+, and [Rh(NH3)4Br2]formed on electron capture by the corresponding Rh"' complex after pulse radiolysis.lls In all cases loss of two ligands occurs very rapidly to yield [Rh(NH3)J2f, which exchanges NH, molecules only on a millisecond time scale. Photochemical isomerization of L,RhHX, (L = tertiary phosphine or arsine ; X = Br or C1) has been described.ll@A mechanism involving dissociation of the arsine or phosphine ligand seems most probable. Emission from thermally non-equilibrated levels of [IrCl,(phen)(4,7-Me2phen)]Cl and [IrClz(phen)(5,6-Me,phen)]Cl has been analysed in 121 From these studies it is possible to derive selection rules for non-radiative transitions. These may be summarized as dn* -f dn*, or mm* + mm* but not dn* -+ mn*, and they are particularly strict when the energy gaps between the states are small, or when the states are localized on different parts of the molecule. With [IrCl,(phen),]Cl and [IrC1,(5,6-Me2phen)]C1at 77 K, emission is from the dn* (MLCT) and mn* states, respectively.lZ2However, at higher temperatures dd* emission predominates in both cases. This observation is ascribed to slow, thermally activated, radiationless transition between the CT- or ligand-centred states and the dd* (LF) states. Caution must therefore be exercised in assuming that the state emitting at low temperatures is the same as that involved in photochemistry under ambient conditions. J. Sellan and R. Rumfeldt, Canad.

Shakhverdov has investigated the quenching of fluorescent organic dyes by lanthanide ions in a number of organic solvents (alcohols, DMSO, and pyridine).148-150The quenching takes place in ion-pairs of the negatively charged dye molecule and the lanthanide ion. Dipole-dipole energy transfer is responsible for the quenching in many cases [e.g. with Nd"' and Hot''], but with some lanthanides the deactivation process probably involves either reversible photoreduction (e.g. with Eu"') or reversible photo-oxidation (e.g. with Ce"'). Energy transfer between the triplet state of coumarinium ion and Eu3+ in alkanesulphonic acid glasses at 77 K,151 between triplet phenanthrene and Ce3+,Pr3+,and Nd3+ in methanol-water solutions at temperatures between 120 and 293 K,g and between benzopyranopyridine derivatives and Eu3+ or Tb3+,152 have been reported. The technique of circularly polarized emission has been employed in the study of Tb"' and Ed1' complexes of optically active carboxylic acids in In the same publication it has been recorded that the efficiency of the quenching of Tb"' emission by Eu"' in solutions of L-malic acid is a function of pH. It is suggested that under certain pH conditions, the transfer of energy occurs between ions complexed to the same malic acid molecule. Intermolecular energy transfer between Tb(acac), and La(acac), or other tris(acety1acetonato)lanthanide complexes has been described.154,155 The rate of transfer is sensitive to the solvent used, being negligible for strongly co-ordinating compounds such as pyridine, but increasingly markedly for non-polar solvents such as benzene. This effect is attributed to the formation of mixed dimers in the non-polar solvent. Quenching of the excited state of U022+ by Eu3+proceeds only in part by energy H. Agaki, Y . Fujita, and E.

The mechanism proposed requires intramolecular energy transfer from the rare earth ion to the chelate, followed by chelate relaxation. Tb3+Ions luminesce from the SD3as well as the 6D4excited state. (The states are separated by approximately 6000 cm-l.) By using a pulsed laser (265 nm) source for excitation, the 5D3to 5D4interconversion has been investigated both in borate glasses and D 2 0 solution.16* In D,O solution the rate constant for this process is rather low (1.5 x los s-l), and in concentrated solutions it is accompanied by an efficient Tb3+-catalysedinterconversion. In POC1,-SnCI, solution the decay kinetics of the 6D4luminescence of Tb3+ have been found to depend on the wavelength of e ~ c i t a t i 0 n . l This ~ ~ effect is also attributed to the slow 6D3--f 5D4radiationless transition. The rate of non-radiative crossing between excited states has been investigated for Eu"' and Tbl" p-diketone chelates using nanosecond laser excitation.160 For complexes such as Eu(PhCOCHCOPh), where the ligand triplet level lies above the 6D1state, initial excitation into a ligand-localized state is followed by population of both the and the lowest 5D0excited states. The subsequent internal conversion from the level to the state has been monitored.160 Several other reports on the photophysical properties of luminescent rare earth P-diketonates and related chelates have been published.1s1-16D It is well known that the luminescence of rare earth ions is markedly affected by the solvent. In particular, solvents with high-energy vibrations (e.g. O-H) cause rapid deactivation of the excited state. For Nd3+ in solutions of tributyl phosphate it has been demonstrated that small quantities of water quench the luminescence. Stern-Volmer kinetics are obeyed, and from this relationship the rate constant for quenching at 293 K (1.9 x lo6 dm3mol-1 s-l) has been deduced.170 The effect of water on the emission lifetime of Eu"' in acetone solution has been studied, and from the data so obtained it has been possible to 168

that the quenching of *UOZ2+ may proceed by a number of mechanisms depending on the substrate. For example, for 10 substituted benzoic acids, a Hammett plot yields a p value of -0.88. This is consistent with formation of an exciplex involving only a small amount of charge transfer. For olefinic compounds the authors also support the exciplex formation mechanism previously proposed by Matsushima for other systems. Iodine-containing compounds (e.g. ICH2CH2C0,H) quench very efficiently, probably due to charge transfer interaction of *U0,2+and the iodine atom of the substrate via a short-lived exciplex. Alkoxycarboxylic acids also cause effective deactivation of the excited UOz2+. However, in this case the quantum yield for UIV is found to be 1.89, suggesting that the principal route for quenching is by chemical reaction. Matsushima and co-workers have examined the UOZ2+-sensitized isomerization of stilbene in more The ratio of trans- to cis-stilbene is sensitive to the concentrations of stilbene and uranyl ion, varying from 0.96 to 3.0. While it has been shown that free radical processes are not important, and that triplettriplet energy transfer within an exciplex is the most probable mechanism, no thoroughly satisfactory explanation for the above phenomenon has been proposed. 171

In contrast with the observations of other workers,200no decomposition of Cp,TiCl, to give CpTiCl, could be detected when the solvent was carefully purified. This indicates that formation of cyclopentadienyl radicals is not a major reaction pathway for the excited state, and the mechanism for the exchange reaction is therefore still uncertain. Transfer of cyclopentadienyl ligands between (28) and Cp2TiClzto form the (CH,),-bridged dimer species proceeds only in low yield.

Irradiation of the dialkyl compound in the presence of some suitable ligand L affords a most convenient route to the derivative Cp,TiL2. Recent examples are the preparation of Cp,Ti(CO), and its bis(7-indenyl) analogue by photolysis of the corresponding dimethyl compound in the presence of C0,,O1 the synthesis of (30) in 70% yield from Cp2TiMe, or Cp,Ti(CH,Ph), with elemental sulphur,202 and the formation of a polymeric bis(fluoreny1)zirconium compound from its dimethyl derivative.203The electronic structure of titanocene and derivatives is of considerable interest to theoreticians and is the subject of recent p ~ b l i c a t i o n s,05 .~~~~ The photopolymerization of styrene in the presence of TiC14, Ti(CH,Ph),, or CpTiClR (R = C1, Et or CPh3) has been monitored both by dilatometry and electrical conductivity measurements.206With Cp,TiClEt and Cp,TiC1CPh3 the polymerization is radical-initiated, confirming that the initial photoprocess is homolytic cleavage of the Ti-C(alky1) bond. For Cp2TiC1, and Ti(CH2Ph)4,no unambiguous mechanism could be proposed. However, for Ti(CH,Ph), the photochemical step is most probably a styrene-to-metal electron transfer within a styrene-Ti(CH,Ph), complex. TiC14, TiBr,, and VCl, are photo-initiators for the polymerization of isobutylene with visible light.207The propagating species are isobutylene radical cations produced on irradiation of the MX4-olefin complex [reaction (59)]. 200

Vanadium, Niobium and Tantalum.-Emission from salts of [Ta(CO),]- and [Nb(CO),]- {but not [v(Co)&}has been recorded for samples both in the solid state and in rigid Interestingly this behaviour contrasts with that of the isoelectronic Mo(CO), and W(CO), from which no luminescence has been detected. The emission quantum yields and lifetimes are markedly temperature dependent (falling by approximately a hundred-fold between 22 and 100 K), as previously noted for other heavy-atom co-ordination compounds such as ruthenocene. Although the emission is assigned to that from the ‘triplet’ LF (3T1,) state, the apparent lack of distortion in the excited state suggests that it also has substantial (M-r* CO) CT character. Photo-substitution of [V(CO),]by acetonitrile or pyridine in solution proceeds with quantum yields of 0.5-0.6. Chromium, Molybdenum, and Tungsten.-Photosubstitution of carbon monoxide by other ligands continues to be widely used in the syntheses of substituted metal carbonyl compounds (some recent examples are collected in Table 5, p. 219), and for the generation of catalytically active species.1g6The prototype of this reaction has been that involving the Group VI metal hexacarbonyls. Since the pioneer work of Strohmeier, it has been assumed that the quantum yield for the photodecomposition reaction (60) is unity. However, Nasielski and Colas 209 have

now shown that at least in the case of Cr(CO),, the quantum yield is only 0.67. This was measured by allowing the co-ordinatively unsaturated Cr(CO), to be scavenged by pyridine, forming Cr(CO),py. Photolysis of Cr(CO), in low temperature matrices produces Cr(CO), having C,, 211 The visible spectrum of this species is very sensitive to the matrix material (Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, CF4, or CH,), and this phenomenon has been attributed to a stereospecific interaction between the Cr(CO), and the matrix species. As the absorption bands of these ‘complexes’ are well separated [e.g. Amax Cr(CO),*- Ne, 628 nm; Cr(CO), **. Kr, 487 nm] selective excitation experiments are possible. In these cases, irradiation in mixed matrices (e.g. Xe-Ne) allow ‘ligand‘ exchange reactions such as (61) to be observed. The weak bond Cr(CO)5-.Ne

between Cr(CO), and methane in low-temperature matrices suggests that a similar interaction may be present at ambient temperatures for Cr(CO), in solvents such as cyclohexane which are normally considered to be non-coordinating. Cr(CO), may also be synthesized by the reaction of chromium atoms in carbon monoxide or mixed carbon monoxide-argon matrices.

A recent report 214 on W(CO),L (L = pyridine or 3-bromopyridine) illustrates that matrix photochemistry may parallel that observed in Thus irradiation at long wavelengths (320 c h c 390nm) leads to ligand expulsion [equation (62)], whereas at shorter wavelengths (e.g. 254 nm) CO dissociation [equation (63)] is also observed. As reaction (62) is photoreversible it is probable that, as in other examples of matrix photochemistry, the expelled ligand remains in the second co-ordination sphere of the complex. W(CO),L W(CO),L

An interesting comparison of the photosubstitution chemistry of W(CO),(L-L) (L-L = bipy, phen, 5-MephenYor 5-Brphen) and W(CO),(py), has been published.21e Absorption and luminescence data establish that the lowest excited states of W(CO),(L-L) are of MLCT character, but are of the L F type for W(CO),(py),. It is to these distinguishing features that their differing photoreactivities are ascribed. Thus, irradiation of W(CO),(py), causes pyridine substitution (0z 0.23, essentially independent of A) and very inefficient (0z dissociation of CO. This is consistent with the predicted enhanced M-N bond lability in the LF excited state. On the other hand, the chelate complexes W(CO),(L-L) show only wavelength dependent CO-expulsion, and = 1.6 x 0 3 1 3 = 2.2 x no ligand substitution. [For W(CO),(phen) This suggests that CO-labilization is the reaction of upper excited LF states, and that the MLCT state is essentially unreactive. It is not clear, however, whether the observed lack of amine substitution is due to the nature of the reactive excited states or to chelate effects. The photosubstitution reactions of (arene)Cr(CO), complexes are of considerable interest, in part because the thermal (arene replacement) and photochemical (CO expulsion) processes are so different. An important example of the application of the photochemical substitution of CO in (arene)chromium carbonyls by phosphines is that which led to the first reported isolation of enantiomers of chiral CrO compounds Two reports on the quantum efficiency 21a a13 a14

As noted in last year's Report, olefin metathesis reactions [e.g. (65)] may be catalysed by photolysis of W(CO), in carbon tetrachloride. Flash photolysis of W(CO), in CCl, leads to W(CO),Cl, which is a possible candidate for the active

species in the catalytic process.223 However, other workers favour W(CO)4C12 for this The above process suffers from the disadvantage of requiring high W(CO), concentrations. Warwel and Laarz have recently reported that mixtures of W(CO), and Bu'AICI, are very active photocatalysts at concentrations of 1 part catalyst to 11 300 parts of olefin.226 The mechanism for the photochemically induced 1,6hydrogenation of 1,3-dienes in the presence of Cr(CO), is still not completely elucidated. One of the species which may be involved is the corresponding (diene)Cr(CO)4. Complexes of this type have now been prepared by low-temperature photolysis of Cr(CO), and either 1,3-butadiene or trans-,trans-2,4-he~adiene.~~~ These species are not active as hydrogenation catalysts in the dark, but are readily activated by illumination. This suggests that (diene)Cr(CO), may be the active species. M. S. Wrighton and J. L. Haverty, Z . Naturforsch., 1975, 30b, 254. J. Nasielski and 0. Denisoff, J.

effects proves that in these solvents of low polarity, heterolytic cleavage (71) is not a primary process. Both processes (70) and (72) are induced by either U.V. or visible light, indicating that initial population of either UU* or do* (Mo-Mo) states cause these reactions to take place. A quite different picture emerges for experiments in high-donicity solvents such as DMF, DMSO, and ~ y r i d i n e . , ~ ~ Under these conditions the anion [CpMo(CO),]- has been identified after photolysis of the dimer. The reaction is very efficient, the quantum yield being higher in the polar solvents than in non-polar (for pyridine, <9436 = 0.79; for CC14, @,so = 0.35). This suggests that heterolytic cleavage may be the primary photoreaction in such solvents. These results, and those found with Mn,(CO),,, suggest that the course of reaction and probably, but not necessarily that of the initial step, is determined by solvent polarity. It is also possible that the metalcentred radicals or ions formed in steps (70) and (71) may undergo dissociation or exchange leading to overall more complicated chemistry, as has already been found for Mn2(CO)loand Re2(CO)lo. The photochemistry of various compounds of the type CpM1(CO),M2(CO), (M1 = Mo, W, or M2 = Mn, or Re) has been investigated. It has been shown that that homolytic rupture of the M1-M2 bond (to give d5 and d7 fragments) is favoured over the alternative heterolytic cleavage.243 Again in this case, a aa* excited state appears to be responsible for the reaction. Photochemical disproportionation has also been described for several R,SnMo(CO),Cp c o m p l e x e ~245 .~~~~ Manganese and Rhenium.-Wrighton and Ginley 246 have shown previously that Mn,(CO),, and Re,(CO),, undergo homolytic cleavage [reaction (74)J on irradiation in non-polar halogenocarbon solvents. It was further suggested, and confirmed by other that the M(CO), species is co-ordinatively labile M2(CO)lo

Combination of M(C0)4L with M(CO), gives Mn,(CO),L, the overall process thus appears to be substitution of CO in the M,(CO),, by L. Evidence this year demonstrates that the reaction course in polar solvents may be quite different. Cox and co-workers 242 have shown that irradiation of Mn2(CO)lo in pyridine gives [Mn(py),][Mn(CO),],. Similar results are obtained with DMF and DMSO, but not in cumene or dioxan. To rationalize this behaviour, the primary photochemical reaction is proposed to be heterolytic cleavage of the Mn-Mn bond [reaction (76)], although a ____+

Photochemistry The nature of the e.s.r. detectable species formed on photolysis of Mn,(CO),, in THF has been the subject of some debate. Originally this species had been assigned to Mn(C0)5,248and this view was upheld in a later However, it has been convincingly argued that the species present is solvated Mn11.250s 251 It is proposed that, as in high-donicity the overall reaction is a photoinduced base-disproportionation. Most of the work reported above involves irradiation into the lowest or second lowest absorption bands, and recent MO calculations confirm that these are (T)-u* and U-U* transitions respectively.252 The photoreaction of Re,(CO),, in water is reported to give the cluster compounds (35) and (36).253Photolysis of Mn,(CO),, in the presence of KX (X =

This proves to be the case. For example, irradiation of Mn,(C0)8(phen) in CH,CIZ-CC14 produces Mn(CO),Cl and ClMn(CO),(phen) with a quantum efficiency of about 0.96. From absorption and emission spectroscopic data, it has been shown that the lowest excited states of Re(CO),X (X = Cl, Br, I) are ls3E LF states.268 In agreement with observations with several other complexes of second and third 248

Iron and Ruthenium.-A clearer understanding of the quenching action of ferrocene has emerged from the investigations of two groups of workers this year.l0,263, 264 Using an approach similar to that reported last year by Kikuchi et aZ.,266they have studied the efficiency of quenching of the triplet states of a large number of organic sensitizers, particularly those of low energy (ET). For these low-energy sensitizers (with one exception, methylene blue), the rate constant for quenching ( k ~falls ) off smoothly as a function of ET (Figure 6). From this dependence on sensitizer Er and from other experiments, it has been clearly demonstrated that mechanisms such as catalysed intersystem crossing, electron transfer or charge transfer are not operative. These observations are wholly compatible with energy transfer from the organic triplet state to the 3Els state of the ferrocene being the predominant deactivation process. It is to be noted that the fall-off of k~ with ET is much slower than that predicted by an Arrhenius relationship (curve 1 in Figure 6), but the empirical relationship (80) k~ = k m { l

+ exp [-(ET - E ~ ~ ) / r n R T l } - l

is consistent with the observations (curve 2 in Figure 6) (EFc = 13 300 cm-1 (159 kJmol-l) and m = 2.9).263The explanation for this behaviour is that the 3E1,state is considerably distorted from its ground-state geometry, as has already been shown for ruthenocene from luminescence measurements. As may be seen in Figure 6, methylene blue quenches more efficiently than predicted by equation (80), and in this case it has been proved that an electron is transferred from the excited state of ferrocene to the q u e n ~ h e r . ~ ~The ~ ~deactivation of the triplet states of organic molecules by ferrocene has been reviewed (in Japanese).267 Electron transfer between 3-ferrocenylpropanoate and nitrous oxide,26Eand between polyvinylferrocene and dyes 269 have been reported.

hydrogenation processes it has been shown that the active catalyst is not Fe(C0)4H2,but probably a species of the type Fe(CO),H(alkyl). Photosubstitution of the silylnitrene complex (40; L = CO) by P(OMe), or PBu, proceeds in stages, so that the mono-, di-, or tri-substituted compounds may be readily isolated.279 Compound (41), formed from (40; L = CO) by photolysis in the presence of hydrogen, is a useful catalyst for the light-induced selective hydrogenation of dienes and of activated olefins.

Addition reactions of metal co-ordinated dienes and olefins are the subject of both practical and theoretical interest. Some authors have suggested that these reactions may be treated by the Woodward-Hoffmann rules, and have discussed the role of the metal in lifting symmetry-imposed restrictions on the course of the reaction. However, there is substantial evidence that most of these processes are not concerted. A recent example of this is the observation that the photochemically produced (b~tadiene)Fe(CO)~-hexafluorobut-2-yne adduct (42) 278

react with the halogeno-olefin. It seems probable that this is also the lightinduced step in reactions involving perfluoro-olefins etc. Both photolysis and thermolysis of (cyclopentadiene)Fe(CO), yield [CpFe(CO)2]2.286 However, the initial photochemical step is CO expulsion, whereas the thermal reaction proceeds via the (v2-diene)Fe(CO),. The photochemical cycloaddition reactions of alkynes to various iron carbonyl complexes of compounds containing cis-azo groups (47), such as 2,3-diazonorbornene, 3,3-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-4-alkyl-pyrazolines~ and benzocinnoline, have been described.286Three types of products are formed [(48)-(50)]. A

detailed study of the photoreactions of the diazoferrole species (49) has been carried In particular the substitution of CO by phosphines, the addition of acetylenes to give (50), and of dienes to yield (51) have been investigated. Flash photolysis of (49) in benzene solution indicates that the principal photochemical process is expulsion of CO and creation of the corresponding Fe(CO), species. In the absence of reactants the recombination process occurs efficiently (k = 2 x lo6dm3mol-1 s-l). In the above study it was also possible to show that the addition of diphenylacetylene to (49) to give a product of type (50) proceeds via co-ordination of the acetylene to the Fe(CO), derivative and subsequent rearrangement of the adduct (k = 1.2 x lo3s-l). Other examples of photo-induced coupling of organic compounds involving iron carbonyl derivatives are the production of (52) from Et2NC=CNEt2 and Fe(C0)6,288the formation of (53) from photolysis of CpFe(CO),Me in excess CNR (R = cyclohexyl or t - b ~ t y l )and , ~ ~the ~ conversion of (54) into (55).290 a86 286

Thus Dowd et al. have recently shown that photolysis of the cobalamin compound (67) (THP = tetrahydropyranyl) produces a mixture of compounds from which

vco2(THP) substantial quantities of a-methylene glutaric acid (68) could be isolated after hydrolysis.306 Similarly other workers have found that the dimethylmalonylcobaloxime derivative (69a) gives methylsuccinyl diethyl ester [(CH,CO,Et),] as well as dimethylmalonyl diethylester MeCH(C02Et)2.307It is interesting to note

that although this reaction apparently proceeds via homolytic cleavage of the Co-C bond, the radical so produced does not rearrange in the absence of the cobalt compound.

Support for an alternative mechanism of the co-enzyme B12 catalysed biological reactions has been found in some studies on the cobalamin derivative (70), a close analogue of the c o - e n ~ y m e .Although ~~~ the compound does not function as an efficient coenzyme in the dioldehydrase enzyme, it may be activated to do so by a short period of U.V. irradiation. As (70) forms the Cot cobalamin Adenine

(Hlzs) and (71) on photolysis in uitro, these observations suggest to the authors that Blzs may be an intermediate in the enzyme reactions. Other publications on the photochemistry of alkylcobalamins consider the , ~ monitoring ~~ interaction of co-enzyme B12 with lipoic acid and other t h i o l ~the of the photolysis of alkylcobalamins by n.m.r.,311 and the photolability of formylmet hylcobalamin.312 As may be seen above, most of the experiments carried out on alkylcobalamins and alkylcobaloximes are consonant with Co-C bond homolysis as the predominant photochemical process. However, more recent studies suggest that other modes of reactions are possible for alkylcobaloximes depending on such variables as the alkyl substituent R, base X, solvent, or temperature. For example, e.s.r. studies by Giannotti and co-workers 314 have revealed that after photolysis of alkyl cobaloximes in degassed chloroform solution at 77 K, a Co" species is formed in which the Co-C bond is still intact. This species is apparently produced by electron transfer from the dimethylglyoxime ligand to the metal, the ligand then rearranging with expulsion of a hydrogen atom. At 7 7 K this is the main reaction even for complexes with axial alkyl ligands possessing /3-hydrogen atoms (e.g. isopropyl). At higher temperatures, signals due to a Co"-dimethylglyoxime complex, in which the Co-C bond is broken, are recorded. It is also proposed by these authors that the absorption band at lowest energy is not due to an alkyl + C o charge-transfer transition, as pre3139

In air-saturated solutions, photolysis of alkylcobaloximes leads to the insertion of oxygen and the production of the corresponding alkylperoxycobaloxime (69c). This insertion reaction is also accompanied by light-induced base exchange. After a detailed discussion of the various possible mechanisms for the oxygenation reaction, Jensen and Kiskis 315 have favoured the route given in Scheme 4.

The assumption that vibrationally excited ground-state species are important is most surprising, but it is interesting to note that in some recent theories for the photoreactions of Co"' ammine complexes, 'hot' ground-state compounds have been postulated as reactive intermediates (see ref. 90). Giannotti 313 has suggested that, at least in aprotic solvents, the Col* species, formed by electron transfer from the equatorial ligand, is an important intermediate (Scheme 5).

One particularly controversial aspect of the oxygen insertion reaction is whether the optical activity of the alkyl group is lost during the reaction. Jensen and Kiskis316have published a full report in which the photolyses of optically active 2-butyl(pyridine) cobaloxime and 2-hydroxy-l-phenethyl(pyridine)cobaloxime have been examined. In contrast to the method of earlier workers, the optical activity of the product was measured by reducing the peroxy complex with sodium borohydride to give the alcohol. As no optical activity was detected in the alcohols, complete racemization of the alkyl group during the photochemical reaction was assumed. More recently, however, the validity of this 315

reduction procedure has been questioned, as it appears that the reduction of the peroxycobaloxime may yield the ketone initially and hence cause racemization of the complex.31s Clearly then further quantitative studies will have to be performed before the nature of the photochemical processes associated with the Co-C bond in alkylcobaloximesand cobalamins is understood, and its relevance to the biological processes can be assessed.

The reaction with SnMe,H surprisingly causes replacement of the cyclopentadienyl ligand, yielding Rh(CO),(SnMe,),. Strohmeier has discussed the photochemical activation of metal carbonyl catalysts, especially Ir(CO)C1(PPh3)2.1D7Illustrations of how irradiation can increase the rate and turnover number for various processes are presented. Further, the role of light in reactivating ‘spent’ catalysts is a particularly attractive feature, and may well be very important for expensive noble metal complexes. The selectivity of light in regenerating catalytically active species has been stressed in another publication.323 Side reactions are of negligible importance in the deoxygenation or dehydrogenation of 02-or H,-adducts of IrX(CO)(PPh,), (X = Cl or I), [Ir(dppe),]+, or [1r(cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh,),]+[e.g. equation (87)]. 316

3 Metalloporphyrins and Related Compounds This section consists of a review of recent developments in the photochemistry and photophysics of metalloporphyrins, including haem and the cytochromes. Chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls are discussed in Part VI. Relatively few studies on the photochemistry of these compounds have been published this year, although substantial consolidation of our understanding of their photophysical properties is apparent. Reviews of the photochemistry of porphyrins and metall~porphyrins,~~~ and of the status of MO calculations on porphyrins and their complexes 369 have been published. Photochemical ejection of carbon monoxide from (OEP)Ru(CO)(py) (OEP = octaethylporphyrin) has been studied previously. The quantum yield of this reaction, which is accompanied by phosphorescence, is wavelength dependent. It has now been shown that for (TPP)Ru(CO)(piperidine) (TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin) the quantum efficiency for CO dissociation is markedly temperature dependent.370A LF state, or possibly a CT state, appears to be responsible for this reaction, and the temperature dependence of the quantum yield suggests that it is formed after back-intersystem crossing from the low-lying phosphorescent, porphyrin-localized, triplet state. An understanding of the photochemistry of simple carbonyl complexes of iron porphyrins would, of course, be helpful for discussions on the photodecarbonylation of haemoglobin and other haem-proteins (see below). Unfortunately such studies are extremely difficult because of these complexes’ instability in solution in the absence of carbon 3a3 364 365

monoxide. However, no phosphorescence from (TPP)Fe(CO)(pip) or (TPP)Fe(pip), can be detected. This suggests that a LF state lies below the porphyrin triplet, and that it is such a LF state, which is responsible for the photodecarbonylation of the biologically important Photocatalysis of the aerobic oxidation of Fe" porphyrin complexes in the presence of hydrazine has been demonstrated.371 Kapinus and Dilung have examined the photoreduction of metalloporphyrins of the titanium 372 and aluminium s ~ b g r o u p s .It~ has ~ ~ been demonstrated that the course of the photoreduction by hydrazine of (TPP)TiO differs from those of (TPP)Zr(acac), and (TPP)Hf(acac),. The reactions of the ZrIV and HfIV complexes proceed in two stages. Initially the protonated radical-anion is produced, and further photolysis gives the chlorin (dihydroporphyrin). This is consistent with the lowest-lying states in the original complexes being porphyrinlocalized and not CT in nature. With the TiIV complex, on the other hand, reduction at the metal centre is observed. Comparison with metallic sodiuminduced reduction indicates that this distinctive pathway for the photoreduction of (TPP)TiO is a property of the Ti=O group, probably involving cleavage of the Ti=O bond. The photoreduction by hydrazine of (TPP)MBr (M = Al, Ga, or In) eventually leads to their chlorin In the case of (TPP)InBr, it is suggested that two intermediates are present. Thus irradiation at 597 nm causes the complete reaction of the porphyrin to give its protonated radical-anion. Evidence is presented to show that the conversion of this latter species to the chlorin requires two photons. A reinvestigation of the photolysis of cyanocobalamin both in the presence and absence of oxygen confirms that the only photoprocess occurring is lowand Q6,, = 3 x This is efficiency aquation (95) (@)960 = 4 x [CofCN

the corrin triplet state must be the lowest. Interestingly, the corresponding dichloro-compound not only photo-aquates but also phosphoresces at 77 K, implying that here the LF and corrin triplet levels are of comparable energy. On photolysis in aerated non-polar solvents, zinc oxo-octaethylphlorin (76) is converted into (77).375 On the other hand, the Nil1 derivative gives initially a

one-electron oxidation product, which on further irradiation under nitrogen forms (78). Van der Waals and co-workers have studied the effect of magnetic field (075 kG) on the emission spectra of Cu"-porphin in oriented single crystals of n-octane at 1.3-4.2 K.376 The results of these experiments confirm the assignment of the lowest state as quartet, being one of the energy levels arising from the coupling of the porphyrin triplet with the d 8 Cu" centre. Substantial JahnTeller distortion of this state is observed, and this conclusion has also been reached by other authors from studies of the magnetically induced circular emission.377 Application of this technique to (0EP)Pd supplies results which suggest that the triplet state is much less perturbed by the metal ion. The phosphorescence lifetime of Pd"-porphyrin complexes, measured between 77 and 293 K, depends markedly on on cent ration.^^^ This effect is attributed to formation of triplet excimers. Phosphorescence polarization of dimeric Cu- and VO-aetioporphyrin complexes has been studied at 77 K.379 One of the few previous reports of the emission of lanthanide porphyrins dealt with ytterbium derivatives. The principal emission band for these species corresponds to a transition between metal-localized states. Lifetime measurements on this emission for the tetrabenzoporphyrin (TBP) and aetioporphyrin complexes have now been Gouterman et al. have more recently published the results of a systematic investigation of eight lanthanide coniplexes of the type (OEP)LnOH.381 It is demonstrated that closed-shell yttrium (fo) 376

and lutetium (f14) compounds show both porphyrin fluorescence and phosphorescence, whereas none of the open-shell compounds fluoresce. The gadolinium (f’)complex phosphoresces strongly, and as noted above, the main emission band from the ytterbium (f13) derivative corresponds to a metallocalized transition, although a weak porphyrin phosphorescence was also detected. Kotlo et al. have extended their investigations of the emission from higher excited states of porphyrins, and have shown that such fluorescence is found not only for TBPH2, (TBP)Zn, (TBP)Cd, but also for (TBP)Mg, (TPP)Zn, and (tetrapropylp~rphyrin)Zn.~~~ The heavy-atom effect on the quantum yields and lifetimes of fluorescence and phosphorescence has been demonstrated for (mesoporphyrin IX dimethy1ester)M (M = Mg, Zn, Cd, Hg),383for octaethylporphyrin in acid media containing heavy atom c o ~ n t e r - i o n s ,and ~ ~ ~ for tetra-arylporphyrins and their zinc

Measurements of the phosphorescence spectra of various free-base-, Mg- and A l - p o r p h y r i n ~ ,and ~ ~ ~ of the phosphorescence polarization of Zn- and Cdporphyrins 387 have been carried out. Transient variations in the intensity of the fluorescence of free-base porphyrin in n-octane crystals have been induced using microwave radiation corresponding to transitions between the sublevels of the triplet From these induced signals, information about the rates of population and depopulation of the sublevels of this non-phosphorescent state has been obtained. In the same experiments it has been demonstrated that tautomerism of the porphyrin (involving photo-induced shifts of nitrogen-bound protons) occurs even at temperatures as low as 1.3 K. Similarly other authors have attributed changes in the quasilinear spectra of TBP on irradiation in n-octane matrices at 77 K to this t a u t o m e r i ~ m . ~ ~ ~ No analogous conversion could be found for the triplet state of chlorin or tetraphenylchl~rin.~~~ Other experiments with Shpolskii matrices include polarization studies of deuteriated and non-deuteriated free-base p ~ r p h y r i n s392 ,~~~~ and a determination by e.s.r. of the zero-field splitting in free-base p o r p h y r i n ~ . ~ ~ ~ 38a

It has been demonstrated that the rate of reformation of the carbonyl derivative is a function of the pH (because of protonation of the imidazole) and of the CO concentration. Thus at pH = 3 and at high CO concentration, the ratedetermining step is the rate of base binding (99), while at lower concentrations of CO the slowest process is (98). 3g4 395

227 species is not resolved. For example, Steen 422 has examined the radiofluorescence (i.e. emission during X-radiation) and thermoluminescence (i.e. radiation from the sample on warming after irradiation) of H 2 0 and D20.As a result of these studies, he believes that the emission at 335 nm, and not that at 380 nm, is more likely to be that from the triplet state of water. Recent electron-impact studies in the gas phase reveal that the vertical excitation energy to the 3BI state of water is 7.0 eV.423 The photoreduction of hydrogen peroxide by hydrogen has been studied in solution under a hydrogen pressure of 100 atm.424The quantum efficiency is a function of hydrogen peroxide concentration, because of the effective competition of the chain termination step (101) with the propagating reaction (102) at higher hydrogen peroxide concentrations. A complete analysis of the kinetics of this system requires the participation of 21 reactions.

It has previously been demonstrated that the quenching of the fluorescence of aromatic hydrocarbons by inorganic ions is due to catalysed inter-system crossing involving CT states of the organic compound and the anion.425 A similar mechanism has now been proposed for the quenching of the triplet states of organic carbonyl compounds (M) by anions.4226The order of the quenching efficiency is NCSe- > I- > SZO3'- > N3-> Br- > CI-, NO3-, and this correlates with the calculated energy of the (M-• X-) CT state. With the exception of no products of chemical reactions such as electron transfer accompany the quenching process. The above anions do not quench the triplet state of naphthalene-2-sulphonateor other aromatic hydrocarbons (k, = lo4 dm3mol-1 s-l), an observation which is consistent with the high calculated values for the energies of the intermolecular CT states. NO,- was found to be an effective quencher, and in this case it is postulated that energy transfer takes place, the value of ET being determined to be 223 kJ mol-l. With Br-, I-, NCS-, or SO,*and naphthalene-2-sulphonate,transient absorption due to oxidized species can be detected. It has been proposed, however, that this arises from reaction of the anion with the aromatic compound cation, formed by self-ionization of the naphthalene triplet state, and not by direct electron transfer. In another publication it is reported that the quenching of both the fluorescence and phosphorescence of biacetyl by anions parallels the oxidation potential of the anion, and it appears that in this case, too, a CT mechanism is Other authors have examined the deactivation by anions of the singlet states of quinoline-land of singlet oxygen.43o of eosin triplet 423 424

Part III ORGANIC ASPECTS OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY

I Photolysis of Carbonyl Compounds BY W. M. HORSPOOL

1 Introduction Photochemistry of organic systems is going through a period when, as in recent years, the photochemistry of carbonyl compounds is of less interest than previously. However the subject as a whole continues to expand although the rate of growth has been demonstrably less over the past few years. Several review articles have been published during the past year. Scharf and Fleischhauer have reviewed the chemical reactivity of the ground and excited states of organic molecules. The photochemistry of compounds in the crystalline state vas been reviewed by Cohen2 and by Nakanishi and N a k a n i ~ h i .Other ~ reviews have focused attention on the synthetic value of photochemical reactians4 and on the use of photochemical methods in the synthesis of natural products.6 The involvement of metal catalysis in photochemical reactions has also been surveyed.6 A review lecture by Chapman’ has dealt with the elegant low-temperature studies carried out by his group. The third edition of Molecular Photochemistry has been published.8 During the past few years several expressions of the Stern-Volmer treatment of the kinetics of excited-state behaviour have appeared in print. A further generalized treatment for handling both singlet and triplet states has been published.g The photochemical reactivity of the nn* singlet states of alkanals has been studied,1° and the photochemical and photophysical properties of acetophenone have received specific attention.ll During the past few years interest has been turned towards the properties of compounds adsorbed on solids, and in this respect the influence of oxygen upon the photochemical reactions of simple ketones on a Vycor glass surface has been examined.12 Amrein and Schaffner l3 have studied the influence of conformation upon intramolecular energy transfer in the ketones (1) and (2). The phosphorescent behaviour of such molecules has a

The intersystem crossing efficiency in this compound is 100%.la The photoreactivity of Michler’s ketone in several solvents l7 and the photopinacolization of the aminoketones (4) have been investigated.18

239 study of the reactivity of the nn* states of the cyclopropyl ketones ( 6 ) has been published.20 The acetoins (7) are also photolabile and undergo Norrish Type I fission to afford the acetylpyrroles (8). The reaction occurs upon either direct or 1,2-diketone-sensitizedirradiation.21 CIDNP studies are still of considerable interest, and the photochemical fission of di-t-butyl ketone into pivaloyl and t-butyl radicals and the resultant recombination process have been studied by the 13C-CIDNP technique.22 The photochemistry of benzoyl cyanide in cyclohexane has been shown to be dominated by the fission into benzoyl and cyano radicals.23 The photochemical ring-expansion reactions of cyclobutanones have been a fertile area of study. One review 24 has dealt specifically with the ring-expansion and fragmentations reactions of these molecules and another has dealt with the photochemical ring-expansion reactions of cyclic ketones in Yates and Hagens 26 originally proposed that photo-ring-expansion of a cyclic ketone to an oxacarbene was dependent in certain cases on the absence of other competing pathways, e.g. enal formation. To test this postulate the bicyclic ketone (9) was irradiated in methanol (with added NaHCO,) to afford the epimeric acetals (10, (D = 0.03). The low quantum yield in this experiment 27 is thought to be reasonable evidence for the structural features which prevent enal formation

However ketone (13b) gave only ketene-derived product (12b), thereby further demonstrating the influence of structural features on the reaction path.28 Brook and his co-workers have studied the photochemical ring-expansion reactions of silacyclohexanones [e.g. (15)], and the earlier work in this area has been the subject of a review.2B A further report on the photochemistry of the silacyclohexanone (15) has shown that the dimers (16) and (17) are The structures of the products have been verified by X-ray analysis. The dimers are the principal products of the photolysis, but they are also accompanied by

(20) a ; RI-RZ = 0 b; R1 = H, 1 x 2 = Me

the decarbonylation product (18). In line with the previous photochemistry of the ketone (15), the products are thought to arise by the photochemical conversion of the ketone into an oxacarbene (19) which is then trapped by attack on a second molecule of ketone.31,32 The presence of carbene intermediates is substantiated by the photolysis of the ketone (15) in oxygen when the lactone (20a) is formed, or in methanol whenzthe:ketall(20b) is Although there has been some discussion concerning the concertedness (or lack of it) in the ring-expansion process with the weight of evidence falling in favour of a concerted there is no doubt that the Norrish Type I fission of ketones involves the formation of a radical pair. Typical of this is the Norrish Type I photochemical cleavage of the keto-ester (21) which results in the formation of reasonable yields of the esters (22).34 Together with ring-opened material the cyclopentenol [(23), 25x1 was also formed, but the detailed mechanism for its formation is uncertain. Further work on the photochemistry of the triterpene Friedelin (24) has shown that the aldehyde (25) is one of the many z8

heavily towards the cyclobutane aldehyde (31b). The author 38 suggests that there is a close similarity between a-cyclopropyl ketones and a-cyclobutyl ketones and that photochemical bond fission will follow the path whereby the bond remote from the cyclobutyl group is broken. This is further exemplified by a study of trans-verbenone (30c) and the dimethyl derivative (30d). The Norrish Type I ring cleavage of the tricyclic ketones [(33) and (34)] in benzene solution affords the enals [(35a), 54x1 and [(35b), 58x1 and the bicyclic enones [(36a), 29x1 and [(36b), 17%], re~pectively.~~ The aldehydes and the bicyclic ketones presumably arise from a common biradical intermediate [(37) for ketone (33) and

This biradical intermediate partitions between the normal Norrish Type I aldehyde formation and ring-opening of the cyclopropyl moiety in a controlled fashion to afford the new biradicals (39) and (40) respectively. Ring-closure of these affords the observed ketones (36). a-Bond fission to a biradical intermediate is the result of irradiation at 307 nm of 7-ketonorbornane (41) in pentane The biradical undergoes a variety of processes : hydrogen abstraction, to afford cyclohex-l-en-4-carboxaldehyde, decarbonylation, and ring-opening to hexa-l,5-diene or ring-closure to bicycl0(2,2,O)hexane.~~Ring-opening by a-fission and hydrogen abstraction is also found in the bicycloundecanone (42) which yields the ester (43) when the reaction is carried out in methan~l-CCI,.~~ Norrish Type I fission is also found CO,Me

3 Norrish Type II Reactions

A study has been made of singlet reactivity of acyclic ketones (pentan-3-one, hexan-3-one, heptan4-oneYoctan-4-one, nonan-5-one, 2-methylnonan-5-one, and 2,8-dimethylnonan-5-one)which both fluoresce and undergo Norrish Type I1 hydrogen-abstraction reaction^.^^ The fluorescence quantum yields for each of the ketones decreased with increasing chain length of the alkyl substituents. This is a result of a change in the nature of the abstractable y-hydrogen and also to an increase in the number of available y-hydrogens. The temperature dependence of the triplet quantum yield for the Norrish Type I1 elimination reactions of heptan-Zone, heptan-3-oneYand hexan-2-oneY4'and of 4-methylpentan-2one 48 has been measured. Arrhenius parameters for the singlet processes were then derived. The triplet state Norrish Type I1 elimination reaction of butyrophenone can be quenched by various thiophens in rates which correlate with the ionization potentials of the q u e n c h e r ~ . ~ ~ Two reactions, elimination and cyclobutanol formation, are important in the Norrish Type I1 reactions of carbonyl compounds. The cyclobutanol process is often of considerable synthetic value, as in the conversion of the aminoketones (49) into the azetidinols (50).s0 Wagner and Thomas61 have investigated the photochemistry of the fluorinated ketone (51a) and have found that this ketone undergoes exclusive ring-closure in the biradical formed by Norrish Type I1 hydrogen abstraction to yield the cyclobutanol (52). Ring-closure is also prominent in the difluoroketone (51b) but in this instance elimination is equally

important. The authors 51 consider a variety of reasons for the influence of fluorine substitution and suggest that the most likely one is hyperconjugation by the fluorine. This hyperconjugative interaction is such that the fluorine atom will be antiperiplanar to the radical centre adjacent to the phenyl group. Such a conformation does not allow overlap between the two radical sites (such overlap is necessary for fragmentation). The problem of why some ketones undergo facile fission in Norrish Type I1 processes rather than cyclobutanol formation has been examined in some detail. Originally s 2 it was proposed that the fragmentation process was only efficient when the bonds and the radical centres were properly aligned for the bond fission. This hypothesis was formulated from a study of l-adamantylacetone which yielded the two cyclobutanols (53a) and (53b). Mechanistic studies have estab-

Photochemical excitation of the phenacylcyclopropane (73) in benzene leads to trans-cis-isomerization,62Further irradiation of the mixture affords a new product identified as (74) (an oxidation step is required). The formation of this product and the trans-cis-isomerization can be accommodated within a reaction scheme which involves a Norrish Type I1 hydrogen-abstraction reaction yielding the biradical (75). Surprisingly, the biradical prefers this route (isomerization) for decay rather than the more normal fission pathway usually encountered in Norrish Type I1 reactions. The ketones (73b, c) are photochemically inert.

Esters are also photoreactive in Norrish Type I1 reactions. Thus the elimination of phenylacetic acid from (78) by photochemical excitation is thought to follow this general reaction type. The process has been suggested to be a synintramolecular elimination process,66 and has been re-examined using the deuterium-labelled compounds (78).66 The results of the irradiation are shown in the Table and indicate that a trans-elimination occurs.

that steric factors play a large part in determining the trans-elimination pathway, and the cis-decalin transition state (79) for cis-elimination has an unfavourable 1,3-diaxial interaction which destabilizes this transition state in comparison with the trans-decalin transition state (80) for trans-elimination.

that the biradical undergoes fission extremely readily and there is no evidence for back transfer of hydrogen in biradical (82) (recovered starting material had not racemized). The regiospecificity of the remote functionalization of steroids by benzophenone units has been studied using the derivative (83a, b). Irradiation of this compound affords the unsaturated product (84) where the C-15 deuterium has ended up on the benzylic carbon of the reduced benzophenone.68 Thus the mechanism of the remote oxidation follows the path whereby the excited benzophenone oxygen abstracts the C-14 hydrogen. This substantiates the mechanism proposed originally.6BThe problem of whether the oxidation-reduction process was also stereospecific at the benzylic carbon was examined. Irradiation of the ester (83a) in benzene gave a mixture of epimers of (84) in a ratio of 55 : 45. The ratio changed depending on the type of solvent used for the irradiation; thus, in t-butanol the ratio was 47 : 53 while in acetonitrile the ratio was 45 : 55. Clearly the overall effect is small and the results do not indicate a strong preference for a transition state for hydrogen transfer where the phenyl or alternatively the hydroxyl is under the steroid ring within the biradical intermediate. Small asymmetric induction is also found in the photolysis of the ester (83c). Other products (85) and (86) are obtained from the irradiation of (83a). These R. L. Wife, D. Prezant. and R.

products are each formed as a single diastereoisomer, so the reaction evidently exhibits a reasonable degree of stereochemical control. The photochemically induced enolization of o-alkylaryl ketones and related compounds has been the subject of a recent review.'O The o-alkylbenzophenones (87) undergo photochemical elimination reactions to afford o-vinylbenzophenone.?l The mechanism of the elimination is thought to involve the enol(88), but attempts to trap such a compound were unsuccessful. Evidence for the generation of such an intermediate was obtained from the low-temperature irradiation of the ketone (87c). The generation of a transient having an absorption maximum at 400 nm is thought to be good evidence for the formation of (88c). A study of the conformational effects operative on the photochemical enolization of 2-methylphenylalkyl ketones has been In an earlier report on the photochemistry of 2-methylacetophenone it was suggested 7g that 80% of the photoenolization occurs from the singlet state. Wagner and Chen72now suggest that this interpretation of the results is incorrect. They do, however, agree that only 80% of the photoenolization can be quenched. In addition to this they have determined that the quantum yield for the production of a longlived triplet state is only 21%. Stern-Volmer treatment of the kinetics suggests that two triplet states are formed from the acetophenone with decay rates of 3 x lo7 and 5 x lo0s-l. Wagner and Chen 73 interpret this result in terms of two triplets derived from the anti and syn conformers, respectively, of the ketone. They deduce that the short-lived triplet is derived from the syn conformer and that the syn conformer shows substantial enol formation from the singlet state. They have substantiated this claim by a study of the photochemistry of the ketone (89) which can either abstract hydrogen from the methyl in the syn conformer (79% in ground state) or abstract hydrogen from the side-chain in a Norrish

Photolysis of Carbonyl Compounds 253 explanation of this reaction is that the intermediate enol(92) is trapped by oxygen as (93) which is thermally transformed into the phthalide. The aroylchromone (94a) does not undergo a (96) photochemical However the isomeric species (94b) does and yields the xanthenone (95a) via hydrogen abstraction by the benzoyl group from the methyl group and thermal cyclization of the resultant quinomethide intermediate. Cyclization of (94c) to (95b) also occurs. This reaction follows the same path as for (94b), but the quinomethide intermediate undergoes a 1,7-hydrogen shift yielding (96) prior to cyclization to (95b).76 4 Rearrangement Reactions It has been shown that irradiation of esters (97) results in a previously undetected scrambling of the l80label.76 This indicates that radical recombination occurs in competition with decarboxylation 77 in ester photolysis. The irradiation of the optically active ester {(97b), [a]:;; - 121.8') showed that although the scrambling

reaction still took place the group migration occurred with considerable retention of stereochemical integrity ([a]4335;- 118.0°).76Fission of a C-0 bond is also the route for the decomposition of the singlet state of methyl (+)-O-methylmandelate (98).78 Racemization also occurs but arises via an enolization route. Irradiation of the compound (99) in benzene at 300 nm affords a single photoproduct [(loo), 27%].79The authors 79 suggest that absorption of light is followed by bond fission to yield the biradical (101). This biradical is capable of closing to the observed product, but the alternative path involving formation of 2-benzoylnorbornadiene (which could not be detected) followed by photochemical dimerization cannot be discounted. However 2-benzoylnorbornene was isolated from the irradiation of the tetrahydrodimer corresponding to (99) indicating the feasibility of the cycloreversion pathway. There is no evidence that the tetrahydrodimer yields a cyclobutane product corresponding to (loo), although this compound, obtained by reduction of (loo), undergoes Norrish Type I1 hydrogen abstraction to yield the cyclobutanol (102). Examples of the photoisomerization of pyrazolidinones [e.g. (103)] into azetidinones (104) have been reported.80-82 These results are complementary to those reported earlier.83 7a 78 70

Indeed the product (106) is not formed when basified methanol is used for the photolysis. In ether, however, a different photochemical reaction ensues to give a j3-keto-ester (107) and products of fission involving a carbene (108) (Scheme 3). The j3-ketoester is itself photochemically labile and undergoes reduction of the ketonic group and addition of ether to yield (109).

In a like manner the adduct (128) decarbonylates and eliminates (127) to yield (129).

this puts the hydrogen in the correct spatial environment for intramolecular disproportionation and ketene formation. The bicyclic product (13la) undergoes photochemical conversion into the isomer (131b) when irradiated at 200 "C. This presumably involves fission of the central bond to reform a biradical. An additional product formed in this high temperature reaction is tentatively assigned as the trans-bicy~lo-octane.~~ Evidence has been collected which suggests that the ketone (135) decarbonylates (irradiation at 313 nm) to afford the o-quinodimethane (136).9s Photoreduction of esters [e.g. (137a)l to the corresponding alkanes [e.g. (137b)l can be readily effected in high yield by irradiation (254 nm) of the ester in hexa-

this compound gave the same products.lo3 The ring-contraction reaction was dependent on the stereochemistry of the chloro-substituent. Thus the cyclobutanone (145) gave the same two cyclopropyl esters (142b) and (143b) as did (141), but with less efficiency. The principal product from this reaction was an isomer of the ester (144). The reaction is thought to involve a singlet excited state where ionization of the C-C bond affords a carbocation (146) which ringcontracts to the ion (147): this is then trapped as the ester by attack of solvent. Irradiation of the ketostannane (148a) leads to fission of the Sn-C bond and the formation of radicals. With the analogues of greater chain length (148b and c), the Norrish Type I1 process, yielding acetone, becomes more important. In

the norbornyl system (149), fission of the Sn-C bond is much less important and Norrish Type I reactions dominate to yield the aldehyde (150). A singlet excited state has been imp1i~ated.l~~ Photolysis of the thiaketone (151a) results in the formation of the thialactone (152a, 62%) as the main product.lo5 The formation of this product is thought to involve the fragmentation intermediate (153), a type which had been proposed earlier in the fragmentation of 3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-l-thiacycloheptan-4,5loS

3 Enone Cycloadditions and Rearrangements : Photo reactions of Cyclo hexadieno nes and Q uino nes BY W. M. HORSPOOL

1 Cycloaddition Reactions Intramolecular.-The synthesis of the tetracyclic ketone (1) originally reported by Hart and Love1 has been described in greater detaiLa The compound (1) is prepared by a photochemical [2 + 21 reaction of the bicyclic enone mixture (2a) and (2b) obtained from treatment of the enone (3) in trifluoroacetic acid. The quantum yield for the photochemical cyclization of (4) into (5) has been measured as 0.374.40in a variety of solvents.s Excitation with 330-380 nm light gives quantitative conversion of (4) into the cage isomer (5). The cyclization was originally reported by Cookson et aL4 several years ago. Closely related to this cyclization is the report of the [2 + 21 closure of cyclopentadienone dimer in methanol to afford the cage compound (6) in 85% yield.5 Other cage compounds 0

Photochemistry

The problems associated with charge distribution in cycloadditions to cyclohexenones have been examined further.* Thus the irradiation of the ketenesubstituted cyclohexenones (13a) and (14a) results in addition to yield 1,4diketones (15) and (16) respectively. However, the allenes (13b) and (14b) follow a different route yielding the cycloadducts (1 7) and (18) respectively. It is obvious from these results that if polar association of the excited state enone and the addend is important, the opposite charge distribution in the ground states of allene and ketene is dominant. A full account of the work, originally reported in 21 photochemical cyclization note form,@dealing with the intramolecular [2 of e.g. (19a) and (19b) (Scheme 1) has been published.1° The products (20) from

this reaction are formed by a crossed [2 + 21 addition. Crossed addition is also found in the triplet-sensitized (benzil or benzanthraquinone) irradiation of (21).11 This affords (22) as the main product although the alternative head-to-head cycloaddition product (23) is also formed. cis-trans-Isomerization of the double bonds in the starting material precedes the cycloadditions.

A study of the photochemistry of the keto-olefins (Scheme 2) has shown that the inefficiency in product formation is a result of inefficient formation of the biradical which is an intermediate common to the formation of both photoproducts, v i a Cope rearrangement and uia cycloaddition.12 The inefficiency of the biradical formation is due to exciplex formation between the singlet nrr* state and the olefin. Oxetan (24) and (25) formation has also been reported in irradiation (medium-pressure Hg arc) of cyclohexane solutions of the cyclo-

In the case of (24a), irradiation at temperatures above 25 "C also gave rise to Norrish Type I fission of starting material, yielding (27). The quantum yield for the formation of oxetans (28a-g) from the photochemical cyclization of the norbornene derivatives (29a-g) is dependent to a certain extent on the bulk of the alkyl substituent.l* Interestingly, a singlet excited state is proposed as the reactive state in this cyclization and also in the conversion of (30) into (31).16

Surprisingly the photo-addition seems only to involve the enol A, and no evidence for the formation of products from enol B could be obtained. The ketoaldehydes (32a, b) were also added successfully to 1,2-dirnethylcyclohexene and gave high yields of the keto-aldehydes (34).le These adducts (34) could be readily converted into valerane (35a) or isovalerane (35b). Cyclopentenone undergoes photochemical addition to hept-1-yne via a quenchable triplet state to afford the adducts (36a, b; 0 = O.3).lsa Additions of pent-l-yne and hex-l-yne have also been reported,lsb yielding adducts (36c-f) of which the photochemically stable 7-alkyl product predominated.

process to the synthesis of natural products was also made and syntheses of grandisol (46) and of canadenosilide (47) were reported.26 This latter synthesis involved the photoaddition of 1,l-dimethoxyethylene to the lactone (42f) followed by chemical transformation of the adduct (48). Cant~e11,~~ in a study of photochemical additions to methyl cyclohexene-lcarboxylate, has concurred with an earlier report by Kropp and Krauss28that irradiation of the ester in methanol yields methyl 2-methoxycyclohexanecarboxylate. Methyl cyclohex-l-ene-l-carboxylatealso undergoes [4 + 21 addition when irradiated in excess of furan giving the adduct (49), possibly via a transient strained trans-cyclohexene. [2 21 Adducts (50) are formed when l-cyanocyclohex-1-ene and the corresponding acetoxy-compound are irradiated in 2,3-dimethylb~t-2-ene.~~ The photochemical addition of 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene to 3-phenylcyclohex-2-ene-l-oneaffords the single photoproduct (51) as well as the dimer of the cyclohexenone.2g Kinetic analysis of the reaction shows that the triplet state of the enone is involved in both the direct and the sensitized (Michler's ketone) irradiations. The influence of other substituents on the photochemical additions of cyclohexenones (52) to the same olefin manifests itself in a preference for either addition to the double bond (53) or to the carbonyl group (54).50,31 The relative proportions of products seem to depend on a variety of factors: at the extreme ends of the scale cyclohexenone forms no oxetan while 6-fluoro-4,4-dimethylcyclohexenone(52d) affords oxetan and cyclobutane but in a ratio of 9 : 1.

The bicyclic enone (69) has previously been shown to yield [2 21 cycloaddition products with cyclic olefins (C, and C8).40Cycloaddition has also been reported with cyclohexene yielding (70). However, a coupling product (71a) was also isolated in this instance.41 When cyclopentene was used no cycloaddition was detected and coupling products (71b, c) were dominant. The authors 41 consider that the cycloaddition, where it occurs, takes place in a twostep fashion involving the triplet state of the enone. When cyclohexene and cyclopentene are used a hydrogen-abstraction step to the p-carbon competes favourably with formation of the second bond of the cyclobutane.

photochemical dimerization of crystalline diethyl p-benzene diacrylate has been made.44 A review of recent work in asymmetric synthesis via topochemically controlled solid-state dimerization has been published.45 The solid-phase dimerization of (72) affords the two dimers (73) and (74).46 Green et aZ.45 have utilized a [2 + 21 photocycloaddition where asymmetric induction in the resultant dimer is achieved by using mannitol as the template. Thus irradiation of mannitol hexa-trans-cinnamate (C,H,, Pyrex) followed by ester exchange gave cis- and trans-methylcinnamate, ( )-dimethyl 8-truxinate [(75a), 25-40%, 38-46% optical yield], ( f )-dimethylneotruxinate [(75b), lo%], and dimethyl p-truxinate [(75a), 20x1. The authors *' suggest that the optical, induction results solely from the predominance of ground-state conformers in the mannitol esters. Other D-mannitol derivatives (76) and (77) have also been used in this The cycloaddition reactions gave products of the head-tohead type from which the carbohydrate residue could be removed easily. Dimers (78) are obtained by Pyrex-filtered irradiation of the furo- and pyrrolopyridones (79a-c) in methanol solution, but it is not known whether these products have head : head or head : tail s t r ~ c t u r e s .A~ ~dimer (78d) is obtained from (79d) in benzene solution, but ring-opening occurs in methanol.

the terminal methyl group.62 Norrish Type I1 hydrogen abstraction is also encountered in the alkylaminoenones (84b or c). Either of these enones yields a photostationary mixture of both when irradiated briefly. At longer irradiation times hydrogen abstraction by the excited carbony1 group from the N-alkyl group affords a biradical (86) which either fragments to chalcone via a hydroxyallene or else cyclizes to the dihydroisoquinoline (87).62 A Norrish Type I1 hydrogen abstraction is also encountered in the conversion of (88a) into (89a) although the closely related derivatives (88b) and (88c) are inactive.63 The N-tosyl derivatives (88d, e) are reactive, affording (89b, c) as the products. The alternative mode of cyclization in the biradical formed by 1&hydrogen abstraction is found with (89e) when the hydroxyazetidine (91a) is formed. The steric influence of p-substitution of the double bond of the enone is demonstrated by the photolysis of (90) when only the hydroxyazetidine (91b) is formed. A further report 5 4 a of the cyclization of the acrylophenones (92) to the pyrroles (93) by a 1,6-hydrogen abstraction pathway has been reported.

isomerization of 3-methylpent-3-en-2-one (106) has been studied. The photostationary state contains 44.9% of the Z-isomer (OE+z= 0.42; Oz+E= 0.40). As can be seen C O does not equal unity and thus, in the absence of fluorescence, non-radiative decay is competitive with double-bond Several years ago Ullman and Baumann65in their investigation of the photochemistry of the lactones (107) interpreted the results obtained from sensitization experiments in terms of the orbital symmetry requirements needed for good interaction between the substrate and the sensitizer. Sakuragi et a1.66have reinterpreted these earlier results and have shown that the oxazolone (107a) efficiently quenches the sensitizer regardless of Ullman’s 6s classification. The fluorescent emission of the sensitizers is reabsorbed by the oxazolone and it is this light energy which governs the course of the reaction. A review of the geometric isomerization of oxazolones [e.g. (107b)l has been p~blished.~’ A kinetic study of the photochemical reactions of the furanone (108) in methanol has shown that the trans-cis-isomerization occurs from the S1or Tl state and that this process is much faster than the second photochemical reaction,

The interpretation of the reaction suggests that n-r* excitation affords a biradical intermediate with odd-electron density on the carbonyl-oxygen and on C-2 of the enone system. Phenyl migration to the terminus of the enone system results. [The odd-electron nature of the process is suggested by the migratory preference for p-CNC,H, and p-MeOC,H4 in compounds (118c, d).] The resultant biradical (120) then undergoes electron demotion to yield a 69

This suggests that, in this instance, t-butanol, a solvent frequently used in photochemistry, must have undergone a hydrogen abstraction reaction.

This establishes that the rearrangement involves a situation where the migratory carbon must be capable of configurational inversion. Thus a biradical rearrangement pathway predominates. 1,3-Allylic migration is also encountered in the conversion of enone (137) (using 254 nm light and nn* excitation) into

(1 38).83 The resultant P,y-enone (138) undergoes triplet-sensitized conversion yielding (139) and (140) by an oxa-di-n-methane reaction.83 Reactions of this type have been reported in many cases, and two reviews 84* 85 have dealt with the general subject of the photochemical rearrangements of Py-enones. A third review in this area has dealt with the photochemical reactions of l-acyl-2cyclopentenones.8s The photochemical conversion of (138) into (139) and (140) is typical of the 1,Zmigrations encountered in the triplet-sensitized reactions. The products obtained were not interconvertible although the two ketones undergo decomposition. The products (139) and (140) from the optically enriched ketone (138) showed that the rearrangement had taken place without loss of optical activity. These results indicate that rearrangement by a-fission is unlikely and that the major path for the rearrangement is via a concerted cycloaddition. However, if this were the sole reaction path the di-wmethane products would have opposite C-1 configuration. This is not the case in this experiment where the configuration at C-1 is the same, and thus the authors 83 suggest that a stepwise mechanism (Scheme 5 ) is in operation. An oxa-di-n-methane reaction is also found in the triplet-state reaction of (141) to afford (142).87 This product undergoes decarbonylation to yield (143). Direct irradiation of (141) yields (144), the product of 1,3-acyl migration (a singlet-state process).87 The photoproduct is photolabile and undergoes a novel 1,4-acyl migration reaction to 8a

Direct irradiation in the absence of quencher leads to decarboxylated products (165c, 166b), and the loss of CO, is thought to involve a triplet process. Thus, the decarboxylation reaction presumably occurs by acetate 0-C bond fission, decarboxylation of the resultant acetoxy radical, and recombination of the methyl radical with the santonenyl radical. The decarboxylation also takes place with the epimer (165b), but in this instance the recombination takes place at C-11 (167). No evidence was obtained for recombination at C-6. Recombination at C-6 is however encountered in the photolysis of the dihydrosantonenes (168) which give rise to (169). Further study has suggested that the reaction in the dihydro-series is intermolecular in ~ h a r a c t e r . ~ ~ Irradiation (254nm) of the epoxide (170) in pentane solution affords the bicyclic compound (171).loo This reaction is thought to take place by fission of the C-C bond of the epoxide to afford the biradical(l72; perhaps this could be a carbonyl ylid).

However, the irradiation of (178a) brings about rapid isomerization to (178c) (the photostationary state contains 82% of the trans-isomer) by an intramolecular energy transfer process. Continued irradiation affords three products [(179), (180a, b)], which are thought to arise from the rearrangement of an intermediate bicyclo-oxetan (181). The other keto-olefin (178b) affords six products (Scheme 6) either by Norrish Type I1 processes or by rearrangement of an unstable bicyclic oxetan (see ref. 102 for an earlier account of the photochemistry of this ketone). This second keto-olefin also shows enhanced deactivation of the tripletexcited state of the carbonyl function in comparison with butyrophenone. The authors lol infer from the results that charge-transfer complexation is important in the photochemistry of the two ketones.

Jeger and his co-workers lo3 have examined the photochemistry of several dihydroionone derivatives (182). Several reaction modes are operative and a representative reaction scheme is shown below (Scheme 7). The simplest reaction encountered is reduction of the carbonyl group. The ability of the excited carbonyl group to abstract hydrogen intramolecularly is also seen in the formation of (183) as a result of Norrish Type I1 fission of the side-chain. Intramolecular oxetan formation is also found yielding (184). However, the tetrahydrofuran derivative (185) could also arise from the oxetan-forming path using a common intermediate (186) which can ring-close or else undergo hydrogen abstraction to afford (185). Together with the more common lY5-hydrogentransfer, 1,4-transfer occurs, producing the biradical (187) and subsequently the alcohol (188). Another reaction mode affords the tricyclic ether (189).

The pyrimidine-purine dinucleotide analogues (198) undergo photochemical addition in aqueous solutions to afford intramolecular adducts. In the cases examined the principal product has been isolated in each case and has been identified as (199).l12 Complete regioselectivity has been reported in the acetone-sensitized additions of isobutylene, methylenecyclopentane, and methylenecyclohexane to 5-fluorouracil (196b).l13 These additions yield the [2 21 adducts (200). Poorer regioselectivity is found in the addition of methylcyclopentene to the same uracil when four adducts are produced, the main ones (91%) being (201a) and (201b). Regioselectivity is also encountered in the formation of (200d, 95%) from the uracil (196c) and isobutylene. Although no definite mechanistic conclusions were reached in this study, it is suggested that the powerful electronegativity of the fluorine plays a major part in the regioselective reactions encountered.

y-hydrogens are essential for the process (1,3-dimethyluracil does not photochemically dealkylate). The primary photochemical process in the irradiation of 5-bromouraciI (218) is fission of the C-Br bond (0= 1.8 x 10-3).122 4 Photochemistry of Dienones Linearly Conjugated Dienones.-The low-temperature photochemical reactions of the linearly conjugated dienone (219) in the presence and absence of nucleophiles have been described.123Dienones of this type undergo facile ring-opening to afford a ketene intermediate [e.g. (220) formed from hexamethylcyclohexa2,4-dien-l-one] which is readily trapped by nucleophiles. Thus (221) is formed

from (220) in the presence of meth~1amine.l~~ The transcript of a lecture on this reaction has been pub1i~hed.l~~ Another review has dealt with the low-temperature generation of reactive interrnediates.lz6 Direct irradiation of the enones (222a, b) in furan leads to formation of the strained trans-isomer (223) which can be trapped as the furan adducts (224, 225).12'9 128 The authors lZ7reason that the trans-enone (223a) is the precursor to the two dimers which were previously reported.12@Dimers [(226), (227)] are also formed from enones (222b), and again the intervention of the trans-isomer (222b) is implicated.lZ8 Enones (222c, d) do not undergo dimerization.128 Irradiation of the cyclo-octadienone (228) in ether affords the trans-isomer (229).130 The trans-double bond in this compound is very reactive, and on silica gel chromatography gives the water-addition product (230a). A similar product (230b) is formed when the irradiation of the dienone (228) is carried out in J. M. Campbell, C. Von Sonntag, and D. Schulte-Frohlinde, 2. Naturforsch., 1974,29b, 750. G.

This compound could in principle arise by a di-nmethane pathway, but no previous examples of a di-n-methane reaction of a dienone have been recorded. Three dimeric products (239), (240), and (241) were identified by spectral analysis. In an earlier study of the cyclohexadienone (242), Schuster et aZ.13*interpreted the results from quenching (cyclohexa-l,3-diene) studies in terms of two excited states; the nr* state was thought to abstract hydrogen from the solvent yielding p-cresal while the nn* state formed the lumiketone. However, the more recent recognition of a free-radical chain process casts considerable doubt on the original Indeed it is likely that the lumiketone product is formed ' 0

from the nn* state. Another result which points to that conclusion concerns the thermal decomposition of the dioxetans (243) to 4,4-diphenylcyclohexa-2,5dienone, the rearrangement product (244), and the corresponding aryl ketone (acetophenone, rn-methoxyacetophenone, or /?-acet~naphthone).l~~ The relative efficiency of formation of the rearrangement product can be as high as 17%. The authors reason that dioxetan decomposition must yield the nn* triplet of 4,4-diphenylcyclohexa-2,5-diene,and that this excited state affords the rearranged product (244). It is also evident that there is no equilibration between nn* and nn* excited states in this system. Thus when 8-acetonaphthone (ET = 59 kcal mol-l, 247 kJmol-l, nn* state) is formed from the dioxetan (243c) no excited state acetonaphthone is generated even though there is an energy gap of 9 kcal mo1-1 (37.7 kJ mol-l) between it and the nn* triplet of 4,4-diphenylcyclohexad ienone . The ketene acetal (245a) is the primary photochemical product of the irradiation of 4,4-dimethoxycyclohexa-2,5-dienone(246a) in benzene.141 The acetal (245a) is itself photolabile yielding polymeric material and the esters (247a) and (247b).

Photochemical cyclization of the ketal (257) in the presence of o-dichlorobenzoic acid gives initially the cis-cyclized product (258).

also occurs in the photolysis of 4,6-dimethylbenzofuran-2,3-dione.The ketene in this instance is trapped intermolecularly as the ester (294).163 The alcohol (295) for this trapping is formed by a hydrogen abstraction-radical combination mechanism when the furandione is irradiated in cyclohexene-benzene. A ketene intermediate (296), which is in equilibrium with the open form (297), is formed by the low-temperature irradiation of the diazo-compounds (298).ls4 Continued irradiation of the ketene (296a) results in decarbonylation and the formation of the carbene (299) which affords benzyne and benzocyclopropenone. In competition with decarbonylation and formation of ketene (293), 4,6-dimethylbenzofuran-2,3-dione undergoes addition to olefins to give the oxetans (30O).ls3 The influence of U.V. irradiation upon the keto-enol equilibrium in the /3-keto esters (301) has been studied.166 Courtot et al.ls6have reported their conclusions concerning the enol-enol photoisomerizations of di- and tri-carbonyl compounds (302). The enol of (303) is also photoreactive and is converted into the selenophen (304) by a cyclization-dehydration path.ls7 The examination of mass spectral fragmentation of substituted 2,4-azetidones has uncovered a striking similarity between the electron bombardment reactions and the photochemistry exhibited by the azetidones.ls8 The ring-expansion of the azetidones (305) to the isoxazolidones (306) is a major pathway in each case.lsS Other pathways such as decarbonylation and cycloreversion occasionally compete. Irradiation of a methanol solution of the triafulvene (307) affords the dimer (308) in 70% yield. The structure of the product has been verified by X-ray ana1~sis.l~~ Phthalimide and its derivatives have been popular substrates for photochemical reactions in recent years, including the past year. Roth and Hundeshagen 171have shown that phthalimide undergoes photochemical reduction addition of solvent to one of the carbonyl functions when irradiated in dioxan-acetone.

involvement of both singlet and triplet exciplexes in the formation of prolS1 The triplet exciplex yields the trans- and cis- [2 + 21 addition product of dimethyl fumarate and phenanthrene whereas the singlet exciplex affords the trans-[2 21 adduct and the oxetan (320). The photochemical dimerization of maleic anhydride in the solid phase has been known for some time to produce the trans-dimer. Dimerization in dioxan solution affords only a low yield of the trans-dimer (321) and the bulk of the product is oligomeric.1s2-1s4More recent work has shown that dimerization also occurs in CC14 and that irradiation at 296, 313, and 334 nm is effective.lss The yield is almost quantitative. It is likely that a triplet state is involved in the process, but evidence from fluorescence studies suggests that the excitation is not of pure maleic anhydride but is that of a CClhanhydride complex (as with the photoaddition to benzene). Maleic anhydride and maleimide are extremely popular substrates for photochemical additions. Maleic anhydride has been added to Ag,lO-octalinyielding (322, 24%).lS6 Maleimide and maleic anhydride derivatives (323) have both been added to the furan and thiophen derivatives (324) yielding [2 21 adducts (325), and [2 41 adducts (326).lS7 The benzophenonesensitized addition of dichloromaleic anhydride to trans-l,2-dichloroethylene yielded, after hydrolysis and esterification, the cyclobutane (327). This provides an interesting example of stereospecificity in a triplet cycloaddition process. A cyclobutane (328) was also obtained from the sensitized addition of dibromomaleic anhydride to vinylene carbonate.les

The influence of substituents on the rate of cyclization was studied and it was found that the methanesulphonate and the toluene-4-sulphonate derivatives (343c, d respectively) were slow to react, but the propionate (343e) reacted so very rapidly that it was difficult to obtain a pure sample of the uncyclized material.

The author 206 suggests that electron-transfer quenching is important in this instance. A study of the mechanism of the photochemical oxetan formation from olefins and p-benzoquinone has substantiated 207 the earlier claim that a triplet nn* state was The results were obtained from both sensitization and quenching studies, and there is evidence that a singlet state might also be involved in the process. The involvement of biradical intermediates was also shown by the use of 2-methylbut-l-ene as the olefin when two oxetans (357a) and (357b) were produced. The observation of a CIDNP signal could also be taken as evidence for the presence of biradicals, although these were not identified. The mechanism is further complicated by the involvement of an exciplex. Oxetans (358) are also formed by the photoaddition of cycloheptatriene to p-benzoquinone and naphthaquinone.20g Two other 1:l adducts (359; 13%) and (360; 10%) are also obtained from the naphthoquinone reaction.

Analogous products were obtained from the other two olefins in H,O-MeCN or MeOH-MeCN. The triplet-sensitized reactions of the homoallylic alcohols (3) have been studied.6 Excitation affords a triplet state which can readily be protonated by phenol to give carbonium ion intermediates; these undergo intramolecular addition to afford an oxetan (4), fragmentation to yield an enal which photochemically affords another oxetan (6), or deprotonation to afford an allylic alcohol ( 5 ) . Examples of these reactions are shown in Scheme 2. The allylic

alcohols ( 5 ) are themselves photolabile and undergo protonation and fragmentation upon excitation in the presence of phenol.

Photochemistry or iodo)ethylene undergoes conversion, when irradiated in ether, into diphenylacetylene, 1,l-diphenylethylene, and 1,1,4,4-tetraphenylbutadiene. Diphenylacetylene was also formed from a-chlorostilbene, together with phenanthrene and cis- and trans-stilbene. The authors l7 suggest (without concrete evidence) that the 1,l-diphenylethylenes rearrange to the halogeno-stilbenes by phenyl migration prior to formation of the acetylene. In contrast, Suzuki et aL1* report that 1,l -diphenyl-2-bromoethylene does not afford diphenylacetylene but instead gives the cyclization product 9-phenylphenanthrene by incorporation of solvent benzene, together with 1,l-diphenylethylene. With the anisyl derivatives (20), 1,Zanisyl group migration occurs to give mainly the acetylenes (21), but a competing reaction takes place in the case of (20c) whereby the o-methoxy function

undergoes cyclization to afford the furans (22a) and (23). The same type of reaction was found with the thio-derivative (20d) which gave the thiophen (22b). The authors18 suggest that irradiation affords a radical by the fission of the Br-C bond, which in the unsubstituted case reacts with solvent. However, in the substituted examples, electron transfer competes with the reaction with solvent to yield a vinyl cation (24), and it is this intermediate which is considered responsible for group migration and cyclization. Group Migration Reactions.-The gas-phase direct photolysis of cycloheptene has been shown to yield hepta-l,6-diene and vinylcyclopentane at low pressures, but two new products become important as the pressure is increased. These have been identified as methylenecyclohexane and bicyclo[4,1,O]heptane and are proposed to arise via the carbene intermediate (25a) formed by a 1,2-migration (ring-contraction) in the excited state.lB A carbene (25b) is also proposed as the intermediate in the formation of the products (26) and (27) from irradiation of 3-phenylcycloheptene in benzene. The possible involvement of a triplet state was considered since irradiation in heptane or acetonitrile failed to yield products.20 Another example of a photochemically-induced carbene rearrangement in an l9

However, other structure-dependent processes are also important. A study of the acetophenone-sensitized transcis-isomerization of three sets of olefinic pairs, 2,2-dimethylhex-3-ene, 4,4-dimethylpent-2-ene, and 3,4-dimethylpent-2-ene, has been reported.32 The results obtained have shown that steric hindrance can divert olefin-acetophenone encounters from energy transfer into energy wasting. The authors 32 suggest that triplet exciplexes are important in these quenching processes. The cis-trans-isomerization of 1-phenylbut-2-ene was earlier postulated to involve a triplet state, but without definite proof.33 Morrison et aLa4have now used xenon in solution to enhance intersystem crossing rates, and have concluded that the isomerization does indeed arise from the triplet state. A similar effect of xenon is seen in the photoisomerization of 2-methylenebenzonorbornene, and again a triplet state is implicated even though that molecule has a free Application of the xenon technique is particularly useful when the triplet state which might be involved cannot be quenched by conventional means, and can be diagnostic of a singlet mechanism when it leads to decreased quantum efficiency, as in the intramolecular cyclization of 6-phenylhex-2-yne.

the involvement of thermal activation has also been Another interpretation of the cis-trans-isomerization has suggested the existence of a low-lying second excited singlet state whose energy is 5000 cm-1 lower than that of the S1 A review lecture had dealt with the involvement of the triplet state in stilbene isomeri~ation.~~ Quantum yields for cis-trans-isomerization of a series of diarylethylenes have been rnea~ured.~,A phenyl vinyl ketone-2-vinylnaphthalene copolymer has been used for the sensitized isomerization of s t i l b e n e ~ .The ~~ synthesis and photochemistry of stilbenes has been described as a useful undergraduate laboratory exercise.43 Irradiation of 4-nitro-4’-methoxystilbene in petroleum ether leads to a photostationary state where 92% of the cis-form is In the more polar solvents methanol and DMF, the proportions of the cis-isomer are 28 and 12% respectively. This solvent dependence is not exhibited by 4-cyano-4’-methoxystilbene. The authors 44 interpret the behaviour to a difference in excited state in the two cases. Thus the cyanomethoxystilbene isomerizes from the singlet state and the nitromethoxystilbene isomerizes from the triplet state. The enhancement by molecular oxygen of trans +- cis-isomerization in five dinaphthylethylenes and some stilbenes has been examined.45 The influence of temperature upon the reaction was also assessed (see also ref. 38).

The cyclopentenone (47a) also undergoes efficient di-r-methane rearrangement to afford a single product (48a) (60%).50ss1 The chemical efficiency of this reaction is to be contrasted with the inefficient rearrangement of the enones (47b-e) which also undergo the di-7r-methane reaction to yield (48b-e). This conversion is thought to arise from the triplet state (direct and sensitized irradiation was effective; quenching by 2,Sdimethylhexa-2,4-diene stopped the reaction). Earlier work by Zimmerman et a1.35had suggested that compounds having a free rotor would undergo reaction from the singlet manifold. However, in this instance the triplet state is reactive. The introduction of substituents into the side-chain as in (49) does affect the reaction and

only E-2-isomerization takes place with no evidence for cyclization. The inefficienciesencountered in the rearrangement of the cyclopentenonesare thought to be due to a competing 1,2-hydrogen transfer, but this of course is impossible in the case of (47a) where the isomerization to (48a) is efficient. Such disubstitution has always been thought to be practically essential for the success of the di-n-methane process.35 The triplet state of (50), populated by sensitization (ET> 57 kcal mol-l, 239 kJ mol-l), only undergoes cis-trans-isomerization, but direct irradiation, via the singlet state, yields the vinylcyclopropane (51a) from the 6o b1

A review of Zimmerman's own work in the area of organic photochemistry has been published.67 The problem of the free-rotor effect in photochemical reactions (alluded to in refs. 49-52 and 55) has been further examined in the photochemical phenyl migration of the bicyclic dienes (61).58 In both cases the triplet and the singlet excited states are reactive. However, the efficiency of product formation from the triplet state depends on the flexibility (free-rotor deactivation) of the diene moiety (see also refs. 29 and 30). Thus the larger ring system (61a) rearranges to products (62a and b) and (63a and b) from the triplet state with an efficiency of

In both the singlet- and the triplet-state reactions of dienes (61a and b) the main product was the trans-endo-isomer [(63a) from (61a); O8 = 0.09, @b = 0.002; (63c) from (61b); @g = 0.1, at, =0.23. The dihydroindene (65) also undergoes phenyl migration in the excited state to afford the di-.rr-methaneproduct (66).5n The bicyclo-octadienones (67) undergo regiospecific di-.rr-methanereactions to yield (68) when subjected to acetophenone-sensitized irradiation.g0 The products (68a and b) were identified by comparison with that obtained from the sensitized conversion of (69) into (70). [The direct irradiation (singlet state) of (67a-c, e, g) gave the corresponding phthalate and the novel keten (71).] An earlier

report 61 of the acetone-sensitized photochemistry of homobarrelene (72a) stated that the principal product was the barbaralene (73a). However, a reinvestigation of the reaction using benzene-acetone as solvent and sensitizer resulted in the formation of a mixture of three products of which barbaralane (73a) (0.9%) was a minor component.62 The main product was the homosemibullvalene (74a) (30%), and a minor product (2.8%) remains unidentified. The cyano-derivative (72b) also yields a homosemibullvalene (74b) (26.8%) as the sole product of the

The authors 62 reason that the formation of the homosemibullvalene is regiospecific and involves intermediate biradicals (76) similar to those required for the rearrangement of (67).

Grovenstein et aZ.64reported originally that the singlet state of the barrelene (77) yielded the cyclo-octatetraene (78). Bender and Brooks 63 concur with this observation but suggest that charge transfer is involved. A study of the production of biradicals (79), thought to be intermediate along the barrelene photochemical rearrangement pathway, by the thermally and photochemically

Edman 73 had previously shown that related compounds rearranged only in the presence of sensitizers, but the latest work is not in agreement with that proposal, and the authors72suggest that a singlet state is involved.

the process took place by fission of the C-l-C-8a bond and formation of a C-1-C-3 bond.

Contrary to the results of Wheeler et al.,72triplet-sensitized photolysis converted each diene into a single photoproduct (94).

If a prismane intermediate (105) had been involved, the independent generation of this by photochemical ring-closure of (106) should have afforded the same two benzene products, but in fact 2,3,4,5-tetraphenyltoluene and 2,3,5,64etraphenyltoluenewere produced. A further study 79 identified another reaction path for the bicyclopropenyls (104b and c). This was observed following irradiation at 320 nm when (104c) was converted into (104e) and 1,2-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetraphenylbenzene, and (104b) into (104d) plus the two benzene derivatives originally reported. Weiss and Kolbl 79 rationalize the transformation in terms of a photo-Cope process involving an intermediate (107) which either aromatizes or else reverts to bicyclopropenyl (cf. Cundall e f al., ref. 79a). Dimerization and isomerization are involved in the conversion of the triafulvene (108a) into the quino-methide (109a) and in the formation of the products (110) and (111) from (108b) and (108c) respectively.sO NC CNH

The problem of isomerization of the cyclopropane (112a) into (112b) and vice versa has been investigated.81*8 2 The isomerization can be achieved by direct irradiation (@)a+b = 0.10; @b+a = 0.13) or by acetone-sensitized irradiation (a&+)-, = 0.13; @b+a = 0.40). By the use of optically active (112a) and (112b) it is possible to differentiate between the two isomerization paths, i.e. breaking of bond a or bond b. Breaking bond b converts (112a) into its enantiomer (113), which is a different product from (112b) which is obtained by breaking bond a in (112a).82 The analysis of the reaction indicates that under direct irradiative conditions 81% of the isomerization arises by bond a fission whereas under sensitization 98% arises in this manner. Thus the triplet states show a greater preference for breaking the outside bond, in accord with expected orbital overlap control. It is an important fact that in the direct irradiation experiments ca. 17% of the isomerization arises from the singlet state. Direct irradiation of (112) also R. Weiss and H. Kolbl, J. Amer. Chem.

Evidence for this comes from an experiment in which (112a) and (112b) were irradiated in methanol and the ethers (114c) and (114d) were produced together with the alcohols (113a) and (113b). The ethers could of course arise by secondary photolysis of the alcohols. An ionic mechanism is also involved in the photoconversion of the acetate (116) labelled with l80on the ether oxygen into (117), where the l80label has undergone s ~ r a m b l i n g . ~ ~

Recovered starting material, which had undergone trans-cis-isomerization, had all the label in the ether oxygen. This suggests that the cis-trans-isomerization process arises by the fission of a cyclopropyl bond, i.e. a process distinct from the isomerization to (117) which is formally a 1,3-migration. The 1,3-hydrogen migration in 2,2-dimethyl-l-phenylcyclopropane, yielding 2-methyl-4-phenylbut-l-ene,has been studied in detaiLS4The results from deuteriation clearly indicate that there is a preference for migration from the trans-methyl group. From analysis of isotope effects on the reaction, the authors suggest that either a concerted [as2 aa2]process is involved or that hydrogen migration takes place immediately after C-1-C-2 cleavage prior to rotation of the benzylic carbon at C-l.s4 Mazzocchi and Lustig have also reported the synthesis of (27)-( )-2,2-dimethylphenylcyclopropane-1-01 and its photochemical conversion into (S)-( )-2-methyl-4-phenylbut-l-en-4-01.

Thus when the substituent on the aryl ring is hydrogen, p-methyl, or m-methoxy, the principal products are (120a-c), but with electron-withdrawing substituents the formation of (122) becomes more important.

two products (120d and e) and (122d and e) are formed in each case. Substitution in the ring of (119f) also affords two products (123) and (124). The rearrangement of the zwitterionic intermediate (121) is a rapid process since irradiation of the parent compound (119a) in methanol failed to yield alcohol addition products. Photoisomerization of (125) into (126) has been shown to proceed by inversion at C-7.90 This was demonstrated by establishing that the starting material had an R configuration at C-7 whereas the product had the opposite configuration. The rearrangement (Scheme 5 ) probably involves an intermediate such as (127). [In relation to this work the ester (128) ring-closes photochemically to (129) in a disrotatory fashion.] Swenton et aLgl have also studied this class of reaction (Scheme 6 ) in some detail and have shown the importance of 1,5-migrations in the conversion of the norcaradiene (130) into the cycloheptatriene (131), via the isomeric norcaradiene (132) [cf. (127)]. Pomerantz and Gruber 92 previously studied the photoreactivity of cycloheptatrienes of type (131). They observed that a singlet state was involved in the conversion of (133a) into the norcaradiene (134a). This compound is formed by a ring-closure of the intermediate (135) 87

should also be noted that the modest solvent dependency suggests a degree of polar character in the transition state for hydrogen migration. A review dealing with the utilization of deuterium labelling in the study of photochemical rearrangements has been published.94 3 Isomerization of Dienes Benzophenone-sensitized irradiation of neat cis- and trans-piperylene gives only isomerization and d i m e r i z a t i ~ n .The ~ ~ overall process is less efficient than the same reaction in dilute solution, and the authors reason that this is a result of quenching of the diene excited state by ground-state diene. Earlier work had shown that direct irradiation (253.7 nm) of cis- and trans-penta-l,3-dienes in solution led to 3-methylcyclobutane and 1,3-dirnethylcyclopropene,together with the geometric isomer of the diene.96 A recent studye7 has now revealed a wavelength effect in this system which was evident by the lack of cyclobutene and cyclopropene products when the penta-l,3-dienes were irradiated at 228.8 nm. Triplet-triplet energy transfer from solid benzophenone (deposited on a light pipe) results in the cis-trans-isomerization of penta-l,3-diene vapour. The photostationary state obtained by this technique contains 56.5% of the trans~liene.~~ The two vinyl allenes (137) and (138) both undergo photochemical transformation into the same photostationary mixture (1 : 1) by rotation about the allenyl Simpler allenes (1 39) undergo photochemical addition of acetic acid when they are irradiated by direct or sensitized procedures.100 The O3 J.

direction of the addition of acetic acid to afford the enol acetates (140) is directly opposite to the mode of addition encountered in the ground-state process, and the authorsloosuggest that a polarized excited state is responsible. Clearly the presence of the phenyl group plays a large part in determining the mode of addition since the allenes (139d and e) add acetic acid upon photochemical excitation to yield products (141) and (140d) respectively, which are the same as are formed by thermal reaction.

that a singlet-state reaction causes preferential isomerization of the terminal bond of the triene, whereas triplet sensitization leads to isomerization about the central bond. Contrary to that postulate is the observation that direct irradiation of the hexatriene (177) in pentane affords the 2-isomer (178) by central-bond isomerization together with the cyclobutene (179).124

Further studies 125 on the photochemistry of dihydronaphthalenes (180) have shown that products (181) and (182) from [1,5]- and [l,7]-hydrogen migrations respectively are produced together with products from the photochemical Diels-Alder reaction (183) (Scheme 9). These reactions take place at low temperatures (ca. - 130 "C), and at - 181 "CU.V. absorption evidence (Amx = 402 nm) for an o-quinodimethane intermediate was obtained. The authors 125 point out that the [1,7]-hydrogen migrations occur with remarkable facility in these phenylated systems in comparison with non-phenylated systems. Similar ring-opening to that observed in (180) occurs in the dihydroquinolines (184) which are converted by irradiation (Pyrex filter) into the benzoazetine (185) and also (186) [from lZ4

The singlet excited state of the vinyl stilbene (204) gives a high yield of the [2 + 21 crossed addition product (205) (70%).136 A small amount (2%) of the corresponding endo-isomer is also formed. This mode of reaction is to be contrasted with that of 1,2-divinylbenzenewhich yields (206) as the main p r o d ~ c t13* .~~~~

The authors13* suggest that this divergence in reactivity could be due to conformational effects which would make the vinyl group almost perpendicular to the stilbene moiety. An extension of this type of process has provided a synthesis of (207) (Scheme l l ) , a dibenzo-derivative of a new C,,H,, system. Binkley and Schumann lS9had observed previously that the propane derivative (208a) yielded biphenyl, amongst other products, arising by a T +. T interaction pathway. However, the system (208b) originally studied by Fischer 140 apparently only yielded fission products. A reinvestigation of this system by Binkley et has demonstrated that biphenyl is indeed formed. Biphenyl is also formed when (208c) is irradiated in ether. Other fission products (2-ethoxy-l-phenylpropane, benzaldehyde, and 2-ethoxy-l-phenylpropan-1-01)are also produced, and it is thought that the intermediate (209) collapses to biphenyl and diphenyloxiran, which is unstable under the photolysis conditions.

6 Dimerization and Intermolecular Cycloaddition Reactions Both the direct and sensitized additions of diphenylvinylene carbonate to dienes (4-methylpenta-l,3-diene,Z- and E-penta-l,3-diene) afford mixtures of [2 + 21 adducts (246).163 However, there is a difference between the regioselectivity shown by the singlet and the triplet excited states. Thus the singlet excited state

of the vinylene carbonate shows a moderate regioselectivity with 68-76% addition to the less substituted double bond, whereas the triplet exhibits 95% addition to the same double bond. However, the authors163 conclude that initial bond formation between the singlet or triplet diphenylvinylene carbonate 163

and the diene is comparably regioselective and that the apparent high regioselectivity of the triplet reaction is due to selective collapse of the more substituted biradical intermediate [e.g. (247)l. Such a mechanism would account for the observed isomerization of the starting diene. Lewis and his co-workers 164 have attempted to rationalise the abnormal regioselectivity in the photochemical addition of singlet trans-stilbene to conjugated dienes. The stereochemical outcome of the reaction could be the result of exciplex formation, although the evidence for such a complex is tenuous in this case. The acetonaphthonesensitized reaction of trans,trans-hexa-2,4-dienewith 1,l -dichloro-2,2-difluoroethylene leads to the formation of hexadiene dimers and mixed adducts of [2 21 and [2 41 addition:lSSsee Scheme 12.

The co-dimerization of benzofuran with 2-phenyl- and 2-(3-pyridyl)-benzofuran affords the two dimers (253) and (254).168 The reaction is thought to involve the addition of excited singlet benzofuran to the ground-state 2-arylbenzofuran. When benzofuran and methyl benzofuran-2-carboxylate are

irradiated only one co-dimer (255a) is obtained. Another dimer, the homodimer (255b), is also formed, and in this instance it is thought that singlet excitedstate furancarboxylate is involved with ground-state benzofuran. This proposal has further substantiation from the isolation of the two keto-compounds (256) and (257) which are most likely formed by addition of the carboxylate group to benzofuran yielding an unstable oxetan or an unstable adduct such as (258), either of which could collapse thermally to the observed products. A study of the photochemical dimerization of 5,6-dichloroacenaphthylene(259a) has shown that the two dimers (260a) and (260b) arise from the triplet manifold.lsO Only a triplet state is involved as seen by the lack of influence on product distribution in the presence of a triplet quencher (ferrocene).

The azirine (274b) also ring-opens to an ylide which in the presence of methyl trifluoroacetate yields the adduct (277). However, in the absence of a dipolarophile a 1,4-group migration takes place to give the diene (278b). This 1,4-migration occurs when a good leaving group is attached to the azirine, and the rearrangement yielding (278c-e) is encountered 178 174 l7~i

4 Photochemistry of Aromatic Compounds BY A. GILBERT

1 Introduction The format of this chapter follows that used in Volume 7. The subject matter reviewed in this section is restricted to the more chemical aspects of the photochemistry of aromatic compounds, and in particular only reactions in which the arene ring is chemically involved will be considered. The more physical and spectroscopic aspects are reviewed in Part I. 2 Isomerization Reactions Some years ago it was pointed out from orbital and state symmetry considerations that the then known photochemistry of benzene could be rationalized by ascribing to the S1 state of benzene (lBau) a tendency to transform into a 1,3-biradical (1) (possibly with some zwitterionic character): the Tl state (3B,,) could have the characteristics of a 1,4- (2) or 1,2-biradical (3).l It has since been

I

shown that not only the 1,3-processes, but also some of those which involve the 1,2- and 1,4-positions arise from the S, state;2 but 1,Qbonding to form Dewarbenzene involves the S2 state (1B,u).2aOther factors such as charge-transfer in the ground and/or excited states are important in certain cases3 Irradiation of benzene in the presence of Me3SnH has not provided any clear evidence for free radical intermediate^.^ There was no observable reaction with triplet benzene: excited singlet benzene did apparently react, but 'only scarcely' and the products were not described. It would seem that the Me3SnH acted as a moderately effective intersystem crossing catalyst. Light-induced interconversions of the xylenes have been studied in past year^,^ and the investigations have now been extended to the perfluoroD. Bryce-Smith and H. C. Longuet-Higgins, Chem.

No evidence was found for the formation of benzvalenes and triplet species: the former are believed to be involved in many other light-induced positional isomerization reactions of non-fluorinated benzenoid compounds. The same workers have also examined the dienophilic reactivity of some perfluorobicyclo[2,2,O]hexa-2,5-dienes and benzvalenes towards furan, cyclopentadiene, and buta-l,3-diene.'

rearomatizations in the gas phase: this back reaction is unimolecular, and the first and rate-determining step is reported to be formation of a biradical, presumably by homolysis of the 1,4-bond.* Last year Barltrop and Day suggested that the analysis of photo-transposition reactions of six-membered aromatic compounds can be greatly simplified if attention is fixed on the pattern of transposition, and they pointed out that in no case has the movement of all six ring atoms been followed throughout a r e a c t i ~ n . ~ Their novel mode of analysis has now been applied to the light-induced transposition reactions of various 2- and 4-hydroxypyrylium cations, first reported by Pavlik and Clennan,lo and, for the first time, the fate of all the ring carbon atoms in such processes has been defined.ll Various mechanisms are consistent with the observed permutation patterns described as P4 [e.g. ( 5 ) and ( 6 ) ] , but the

authors consider that outlined in Scheme 3 involving oxabicyclohexenyl cations (7) to be the most attractive: ab initio SCF calculations support the view that 2,6-bonding is a most likely consequence of electronic excitation of 4-hydroxypyrylium cations.

and the assertion in ref. 9 that there is virtually no case in which any connection has been established between the formation of Dewar and prismane isomers and the occurrence of phototransposition have prompted Chambers and co-workers l2 to draw attention to their earlier work on the isolation of such valence isomers in the pyridazine-pyrazine conversion l3 and to the similar studies by Haszeldine and co-workers on the intermediacy of valence isomers in the light-induced rearrangement of perfluor~alkylbenzenes.~~ They have suggested that the substituent labelling of the 4,5- and 3,5-positions in the pyridazine l3 constitutes an example in which the permutation pattern is clearly defined,12 but it should be noted that the two nitrogens involved in the pyridazine-pyrazine conversion are not distinguishable in the absence of isotopic labelling. The photoisomerization of pentakis(pentafluoroethy1)pyridine to the ‘Dewar’ isomer and azaprismane was reported in 1 9 7 3 9 irradiation of the pyridine derivatives (8) has now provided evidence for the type of rearrangement previously noted with pyridazines.12 In CF,ClCF,Cl as solvent, (8) undergoes quantitative conversion into a 1 : 1 mixture of the two azaprismanes (10) and (ll), together with a small amount of (9). It is consistent with the results reported in ref. 15 that (10) and (11) only slowly rearomatize at 175 “C into (12), (13), and (14). The pathway for formation of (10) has not been definitely established, but (15) and (16) are suggested as likely intermediates. Such isomers as (11) and (17) have been previously postulated but not isolated in the phototranspositions of some pyridines.16 The same group have also published full details of their earlier report 13a on experiments designed to isolate the intermediates in the pyridazinepyrazine conversion.17 Various perfluoroalkylpyridazine derivatives (1 8) have been irradiated at 254 and 300 nm in a flow system. Since the same results were observed at both wavelengths it is assumed that absorption of energy by either the rr* or nr* states can lead to rearrangement (this does not necessarily imply that the bonding changes proceed directly from either state). Perfluoro-l,2diazobicyclo[2,2,0]hexa-2,5-dienes (19) have been isolated in some cases, and l2 l3

these are converted thermally or photochemically, or in a process catalysed by firebrick, into the corresponding 2,5-diaza-compounds (20). The transformation of these p-bonded isomers into the pyrazines (21) establishes a new process of lY3-shiftsin aromatic systems. Similar results were noted with the perfluoropyridazine (22), and the authors also comment on the remarkable thermal stability of perfluoro-lY4-diethyl-2,5-diazabicyclo[2,2,0]hexa-2,5-diene (23).

3 Addition Reactions The irradiation of benzene in aerated aqueous solution to yield an oxygenated product was reported in 1968.1e Over the years there has been controversy concerning the structure of this, and indeed whether oxygen is necessary for its formation: all the workers do, however, appear to agree that benzvalene is an intermediate in the process.2o These contradictions over the requirement for oxygen have been re-investigated by Stein and co-workers, who claim to have shown that when the reaction is carried out in the absence of oxygen in l8 2o

Photochemistry

degassed solution, the photoproduct rapidly reaches a low concentration beyond which its formation is very slow.21 The results are thus consistent with a previous proposal that oxygen is essential for the formation of appreciable yields of the product. The formation of the photoproduct in the presence of oxygen at 254 and 214 nm apparently follows regular kinetics, whereas in the absence of oxygen (and the authors point out that they are never certain that this is completely achieved) it was difficult to establish the formation of product let alone determine its yield. The structure of the product is still in some doubt, for while Stein and his co-workers now agree that it is a cyclopentadienyl aldehyde, they appear to favour the R group in (27) as OH whereas the original proposal had R = H.22 They point out that although resolution of this difference is necessary for the elucidation of the detailed mechanism, such a discrepancy does not affect their conclusions concerning the importance of oxygen in the reaction. The process appears to be independent of wavelength over the range 214265 nm. This result, considered in conjunction with the known wavelength dependence of benzene fluorescence, supports the view that the essential photochemistry originates in non-relaxed states prior to the formation of the

thermalized fluorescent level : this is wholly consistent with formation of benzvalene as the primary step, and the production of this valence isomer from such states has been substantiated by studies in the presence of xenon.23 The use of xenon as a probe for the multiplicity of the photoreactions of aromatic compounds, where more common methods may be ambiguous or inconclusive, has been further advocated by Morrison and his co-workers, and used by them to show that the intramolecular 1 ,2-cycloaddition of 6-phenylhex2-yne to yield (28) is a singlet process.24 It has been reported that in 1,2-cycloadditions of ethylenes to benzene to yield products of type (29), donor and acceptor ethylenes give exclusively endo and exo products, re~pectively.~~ It was further shown from n.m.r. evidence that these stereospecificities were matched by corresponding stereospecific ground-state

interactions between the ethylenes and benzene.2s For example, acrylonitrile has an exo ground-state orientation with 27 and the photoadduct 28 of the reactants has now been shown to have the exo structure (30) by comparison of its maleic anhydride adduct with that synthesized by conventional thermal procedure^.^^ Using n.m.r. spectroscopic methods, the fumarodinitrilebenzene ground-state complex is deduced to have the orientation (31),27 and irradiation of this system yields 1 : 1 (major) and 2 : 1 (minor) adducts of unspecified It is well known that although tetracyanoethylene forms a charge-transfer complex with benzene, irradiation of the system does not yield adducts. However, irradiation within the charge-transfer absorption band of the complex of this dienophile with toluene has been reported to yield 3-phenylpropane-l,1,2,2-tetracarbonitrile. The reaction is accelerated in methanol solution, probably due to the involvement of a proton-transfer step.31 The 2 : 1 photoaddition of maleic anhydride and maelimides to benzene has been known for many years but examples involving substituted derivatives of the addends continue to be reported. Thus the photoreaction of N-ethylmaleimide and isopropylbenzene has been examined in detail, and the equilibrium constant of the ground-state complex between the addends has been determined The products from 254 nm radiation are C-cumylby n.m.r. spectros~opy.~~ N-ethylsuccinimide, the 1,2-cycloadduct, and the 2 : 1 adduct bearing an isopropyl group on the ethylenic bond, consistent with previous studies on such Although the 1,3-cycloaddition of ethylenes to benzene has been known for ten years, until this year it has been restricted to hydrocarbons and vinyl ethers as the e t h y l e n e ~ .Two ~ ~ reports have now appeared which describe the 1,3-cycloaddition of functionalized ethylenes to b e n ~ e n e34. ~ ~The ~ former of these describes the facile 1,3-cycloaddition of vinyl acetate to benzene which yields the adduct (32) in a purity >95% from preparative experiments: its use as a convenient route to semibullvalene, however, appears at present not to be viable.33 It has earlier been reported that the relative quanta1 efficiency for formation of 1,2- and 1,3-cycloadducts [i.e. (29) and (33), respectively] of ethylenes and benzene may be predicted from the ionization potential difference between the addends.25 In particular, where an ethylene has marked acceptor or donor properties with ionization potentials >9.6 or <8.65 eV, it was found that the quantum yield for 1,Zaddition was larger than that for the corresponding 1,3-process,thereby indicating the necessary involvement of an element of chargetransfer to or from the ethylene in the former process: the work described in ref. 33 supports this prediction. On the other hand, Heine and Hartmann have now claimed that the major product from the photoaddition of benzene and D. Bryce-Smith, A. Gilbert, and H. M. Tyrrell, J.C.S. Chem. Comm., 1974, 699. P.

vinylene carbonate (ionization potential 10.1 eV) is the 1,3-adduct (34), with minor amounts of the isomer (35) and the 1,4-cycloadduct (36).34 It would appear at first sight that the vinylene carbonate-benzene reaction is an exception to the rule outlined in ref. 25 in that, 1,Zadducts would have been expected as major products. It is, however, important to realize that the predictions referred to quantum yields and not the chemical yield described in ref. 34, and that the concentrations (9 : 1 benzene : ethylene) employed in ref. 34 would not be conducive to the production of 1,2-adducts (which is known to be generally favoured by high ethylene c ~ n c e n t r a t i o n s )35. ~ The ~ ~ reason for this is that some 1,Zadducts are very photolabile, and high benzene concentrations where the yield of TI benzene is high 36 favour triplet photosensitized decomposition. Thus it remains to be seen whether the empirical rule in ref. 25 has really been violated by the result now reported for vinylene carbonate. Srinivasan has continued to use the 1,3-cycloaddition reaction as a route to novel polycyclic ring systems, and has described the chemical transformations of the 1,3-photoadducts of cyclobutenes with benzene and anisole to give (37) by a four-stage Some years ago two groups independently reported the 1,2- and 1,4-cycloadditions of triplet dichlorovinylene carbonate to benzene.38 Scharf and his group have now studied further aspects of this process, and have described in detail the addition of this ethylene to both benzene and n a ~ h t h a l e n e . ~ ~ Sensitizers having ET > 68 kcalmol-1 are effective: the triplet of dichlorovinylene carbonate yields the 1,2- and 1,4-~ycloadductsin consecutive reactions with both benzene and naphthalene whereas S1naphthalene yields the products in parallel processes via a common intermediate. Both 1,Zadducts (38) and (39), and 1,4-adducts (40) and (41) are formed from naphthalene. Three isomeric 1 : 1 photoadducts of vinylfluoride and benzene have been detected, but their structures are as yet unknown.40

The early observations by Koltzenberg and Kraft on photoadditions of 1,3dienes to benzene 41 have been followed up by several groups of Yang and co-workers have contributed much to the understanding of these reactions and now report the addition of 1,2-dihydrophthalic anhydride to benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene to yield adducts (42), (43), and (44) respecti~ely.~~ The formation of (42) is most interesting not only because cyclohexa-1,3-diene undergoes ring-opening in preference to benzene addition, but more importantly because this adduct is a very realistic precursor for the as yet unknown 1,41',4'-dimer (45) of benzene: cf. ref. 3.

The original two independent reports of the photoaddition of furan to benzene appeared to be in conflict, particularly over the structures of the a d d u c t ~ .The ~~ workers have now collaborated and it transpires that most of the discrepancies arise from the thermal and photolabilities of the major adduct (47) and its Cope-rearranged isomer (48).44 Thus when high-intensity light sources are used and/or temperatures above ambient in the work-up procedure (i.e. preparative g . ~ . adducts ~ ~ ~ ) (47) and (48) are destroyed and the more photochemically (at

254 nm) and thermally stable minor adducts (49), (50), and (51) remain to be isolated. The question of the quantum efficiency of the process still remains in dispute. It is interesting to note here that not all 1,4-1',4'-diene-benzene adducts simply yield Cope isomers thermally: thus the adduct (52) from 1,2-dimethylenecyclohexane and benzene 45 undergoes a series of intramolecular and retroDiels-Alder reactions which result in the formation of buta-l,3-diene and tetralin.4s During a study of the S1and Tl energies of steroidal transoid dienes, Pusset and Beugelmans observed the formation of four unidentified adducts with both benzene and na~hthalene.~' Light-induced acyclic additions of amines to aromatic hydrocarbons have been known for some ten years,32but with some substituted arenes replacement of the substituent group also tends to occur. Thus primary and secondary aliphatic amines photoreact with fluorobenzenes to give adducts and substitution products, and evidence for an addition-elimination mechanism in the substitution reaction has been p r e ~ e n t e d .Irradiation ~~ (254 nm) of, for example, fluorobenzene with diethylamine gives NN-diethylaniline and the adducts (53)-(55).

Evidence that this may well be the case was provided from the reactions of difluorobenzenes with diethylamine which gave cine-substitution products together with the expected corresponding monofluoroaniline derivatives and various 1,2- or 1,4-acyclic adducts. Major contributions from an aryne intermediate in the formation of the cine-substitution products have been discounted, and an addition-elimination mechanism has been proposed which involves either zwitterionic Wheland-type intermediates [e.g. (56) and (57) from meta-difluorobenzene] and/or unstable chemical adducts [e.g. (58) and (59)]. These reactions provide the first known examples of photochemical cine-subst it ut ion. 48 Two reports within the year have described light-induced cleavage of a benzenoid ring. The irradiation of aromatic nitro-compounds which have either 3n7r* or 3 7 r ~ * lowest states in the presence of aromatic methoxy-compounds leads to selective addition of the nitro-group at the 1,2-positions of the latter a ~ e n e .The ~ ~ resulting adduct is very labile and undergoes fission to yield the diene (60).

aliphatic products from irradiation of phenylalanine at 254 nm result from a cleavage reaction of the aromatic ring.50 Although photoreduction reactions are reviewed in Chapter 5 of Part 111, it is worth noting here that aromatic hydrocarbons and phenols undergo photoreduction by aqueous sodium borohydride,61 and that the former are also photoreduced by 1,4-di~yanobenzene.~~ Indeed there have been several accounts in the literature this year in which cyanobenzenes have been incorporated into 4g

Photoaddition reactions of naphthalenes, and in particular naphthonitriles, continue to attract considerable interest. McCullough and co-workers have studied the reactions of 1- and 2-naphthonitriles with tetramethylethylene and reported that in benzene solution exciplexes are intermediates in the cycloaddition reaction, but that electron transfer dominates the chemistry in polar While both exciplex emission and adduct (61) formation still occur in acetonitrile, both have lower efficiencies than in benzene.

Since the fluorescence of 2-naphthonitrile is quenched by the ethylene at a diffusion-controIled rate in methanol, it is suggested that both the photoaddition reaction and the quenching process in methanol and benzene have different mechanisms. The photoaddition of alkyl vinyl ethers to 2-naphthonitrile has been studied in great detail, and Pac and co-workers have published full details 66 of their earlier communication on this Using 313 nm radiation, only the single endo-[2 + 21 cycloadduct (65) is formed in 80-90% yield, whereas Pyrex-filtered irradiation (A > 280 nm) gives the cyclobutene (66) as the ultimate major product together with various 1 : 1 adducts (67)-(70) and the cyclobutane dimer of (67). These differences in selectivity of the vinyl ether addition are interpreted in terms of differences in the stability of the conE.* 65

This year has seen the publication of several important accounts of the interaction of 1,3-dienes with naphthalene and anthracene derivatives: the role of exciplexes in the photochemical processes has received particular attention. Libman has studied the details of the photochemical behaviour of octafluoronaphthalene towards conjugated dienes and reports that the reaction is markedly dependent on solvent polarity (as with so many other donor-acceptor Thus in cyclohexane solution the naphthalene and 2,4-dimethylpenta-l,3-diene give an 80% yield of a 1 : 1 mixture of the adducts (85) and (86) whereas with acetonitrile as solvent, although there is slow conversion of the naphthalene, the diene is consumed rapidly to yield the diene dimers (87) and (88) together with (85).

naphthalene fluorescence by the diene are similar in the two solvents, the addition efficiencies vary greatly, and in acetonitrile the quantum yield decreases as the ionization potential of the diene decreases. It is suggested from the qualitative correlation between ionization potential of the diene and the quantum yield for the diene dimer formation in acetonitrile (at the expense of adduct formation) that the dimerization involves the intermediacy of solvated charge-transfer complexes or ion pairs. Formation of such intermediates is attributed to the occurrence of a solvent-induced crossing between the covalent and ionic potential energy surfaces of the naphthalene-diene system in acetonitrile. Sensitization of the diene with octafluoronaphthalene does not result in enhanced intersystem crossing, and it is concluded that Tl diene does not play an important role in the naphthalene-induced d i m e r i ~ a t i o n . ~ A~three-component exciplex 65 is suggested as an intermediate in the d i m e r i ~ a t i o n . ~ ~ With diene-arene systems, it is frequently postulated that the light-induced processes involve initial formation of an ‘encounter complex’ which can lead to the exciplex or chemical products. In many systems, the involvement of an exciplex has been conclusively proved and emission from such species is well documented; but as Yang and collaborators point out, the same cannot be said for encounter complexes. From a study of the fluorescence of the 9,lO-difluoroanthracene-2,5-dimethylhexa-2,4-diene(DMHD) system, however, these workers have now observed dual emission in a number of solvents.66 One of these emissions is only 440 cm-1 displaced from the anthracene, exhibits fine structure, and is not affected by change in solvent polarity. It is thus considered that this structured emission has all the characteristics of those expected for an encounter complex ‘and is so identified’. The other fluorescence is featureless and displaced well to the red. Further studies have been reported by the same group on the detection and characterization of exciplexes from anthracene and its halo- and cyano-derivatives with DMHD and their relationship to the photochemistry of 64 66

378 Photochemistry these The anomalously high quenching constant ( k , ~= 1500) for the fluorescence of 9,lO-dicyanoanthracene by D M H D is accounted for by a ground-state complex of the reactants, and end-absorption extending beyond 430 nm is observed. Two other groups have also commented upon arene-diene exciplexes. Saltiel and co-workers have reported details 66 of the emission properties of the 9,lO-dichloroanthracene-DMHD system in both methanol and acetonitrile.6s In the former solvent, the exciplex has T = 7.4 ns, emits with Am= ca. 485 nm, and is formed reversibly with an equilibrium constant at room temperature of 20 k 1 1 mol-l. In contrast, no exciplex emission was evident in acetonitrile at intermediate concentrations, but at higher diene concentrations triplex fluorescence (Arnx ca. 543 nm and T = 3.6 ns) was observed. These workers call for a thorough study of the photochemistry of these systems. Lewis and Hoyle have also emphasized the importance of reversible exciplex formation and noted that rate constants for fluorescence quenching generally decrease with increasing ionization potential of the diene.ss The involvement of exciplexes in addition processes has been further studied, and the relationship between the nature of the exciplex and the orientation of photocycloaddition in arene-1,3diene systems has been The reactions investigated in this context involved D M H D and cyclohexa-l,3-diene with 9,10-difluoro-, -dichloro-, -dibromo-, and -dicyano-anthracenes, acridine, and naphthalene under conditions such that 87.5-99% of the arene fluorescence was quenched by the diene: thus most of the S1arene was intercepted by the diene as an exciplex and hence photocycloaddition has to proceed mostly uia the exciplex. It was found that the majority of the arenes reacted with cyclohexa-1,3-diene in a 47ra 47ra mode to yield adducts of type (89), whereas only anthracene and naphthalene reacted with DMHD to give the respective47~g 4raadducts [e.g.(go)] : most of the anthracene

derivatives gave the 47rs + 27r8adducts (91) with this diene. This greater reactivity of the cyclohexadiene over DMHD with excited arenes in 47r, + 47rBprocesses is explained by the more favourable overlap of the 7r-systems with the former diene. Also, adducts of type (90) and those from other transoid dienes have much greater strain than those of type (89), and this strain must have existed in the transition state thus making this process less favourable. It is interesting that acridine and anthracenes which have a halogen in the meso position react with cyclohexadiene in their terminal ring. On the other hand, (92) is formed from acridine and DMHD. The authors point out that there is an excellent correlation between the polarity of arene-l,3-diene exciplexes and the orientation observed in the cycloaddition processes. The photoaddition of cyclic dienes and cycloheptatriene to anthracene has been the subject of two recent reports. Common biradical precursors have been suggested for both 47r8 + 2r8and 4n8 + 47r8 adduct~,'~ and 4r8 47r8 and 47r8 67r8 adducts, re~pectively.~~ From work described in ref. 70, however, it is clear that the reaction pathways in these systems may be influenced by the nature of the exciplex, and further relevant information has been provided from a study of the 9-cyanoanthracene-cycloheptatrienesystem.73 Three adducts (93), (94), and (95) are formed from the irradiation of this system and the results

suggest that the 47rs + 27~sadduct (93) and the 4r8 47r8 adduct (94) arise via different reaction pathways. Consistent with previous singlet excited states are involved in this reaction, and the formation of (93) (which is symmetryforbidden as a concerted process) is suggested to proceed via polar exciplexes and radical intermediates, the most stable of which is (96). Since collapse of (96)to a 4r8 + 4r8 adduct would, however, yield (97) and not the observed isomer (94), a 71

duality of mechanisms is suggested. The cyano and CH, groups of the addends are considered to orient in the same direction in the exciplex to give the most favourable dipole interaction (98). Such a species as (98) may either collapse to give (94) by a 47r, + 47r8 concerted reaction or follow a stepwise route to the biradical (96) which then gives (93). The light-induced acceleration of the Diels-Alder reaction of maleic anhydride and anthracene was reported 15 years and a similar study has now been made with acrylonitrile as the dienophile using 365 nm light.76 From sensitization experiments TI anthracene is discounted in the process, and a mechanism involving exciplexes is proposed: the reaction rate is increased by an increase in the acidity and polarity of the solvent. The involvement of exciplexes in the photoaddition of amines to arenes has previously been In particular, the reaction between anthracene and aniline has been suggested to involve such intermediate^,^^ and solvent effects have now been extensively s t ~ d i e d . ' ~The main finding is that fluorescence quenching is low in solvents in which the rate of adduct (99) formation is high: Ph

the latter process is again favoured in non-polar solvents. The overall mechanism is suggested to involve electron transfer followed by proton transfer, as in the case of the addition of tertiary amines to benzene.'* In polar solvents, electron transfer may almost be complete in the exciplex, which then rapidly yields a highly solvated ion-pair and this dissociates to solvated radical-anions and -cations. The solvent effects noted in the current work are rationalized by taking into account the effects on the ion-pair as well as on the radical pair formed after proton transfer. Hydroxylic solvents do not fit into the general scheme of solvent polarity effects, and this finding is attributed to the occurrence of proton transfer via two steps in such media (ix.from N to the oxygen of the alcohol and subsequently from the oxonium ion to the anthracene). Such a relay mechanism allows sufficient time for the molecules to separate and thus the addition efficiency is reduced. Over the past four years there has been renewed interest in the 9,lO-photoaddition of dienophiles to phenanthrene, a reaction first reported for maleic anhydride in 1961.79 The earlier controversy over the involvement of exciplexes 74

or singlet biradicals in the addition of dimethyl fumarate to phenanthrene was settled last year in favour of the former by Caldwell and co-workers,80and this year further details concerning the intermediacy of both singlet and triplet exciplexes in the process have appeared.81 Reactions were performed in benzene solution using 347 nm radiation, and kinetic and quenching experiments were consistent with a diffusion-controlled reaction of the S1arene with So dimethyl fumarate to yield a weakly emitting singlet exciplex. This intermediate variously yields the oxetan (100) (2.4%), the cyclobutane adduct (101) (0.1%) stereospecifically, and undergoes intersystem crossing to the triplet exciplex (5.373, and decay to starting materials (92%).

This latter process is presumed to arise via dissociation of the biradical which precedes the formation of (101) and (102). Hence the earlier evidence for the intermediacy of both singlet and triplet exciplexes in this addition process is greatly substantiated. The effect of alkyl substituents on the phenanthrene on the formation of the 1 : 1 arenemaleic anhydride adduct (103) has been investigated.82 The alkyl chain length does not seemingly affect the reactivity, but substituents on the 9,lO-positions increase the rate of reaction whereas those in other positions have the reverse effect. From time to time the photo-Diels-Alder reaction receives comment, but little has been reported on such processes with five-membered heterocycles :in particular, the additions to thiophen appear only to have been investigated with acetylenedicarboxylic The photocycloadditions of maleimide and maleic anhydride derivatives to five-membered heterocycles have now been reported.84 Both 2,3and 2,5-attack of the dienophile on the heterocyclic compound (104) occur and yield stereospecifically the endo and exo adducts (105) and (106), respectively. Photoreduction of the furan ring in benzo[b]furans by aliphatic amines to yield (107) has been reported by Lablache-Combier and co-workers.86 The chemical yields of such products increase with decrease in ionization potential

With polynuclear aromatic compounds, certain positions (e.g. 1- in naphthalenes and azulenes, and 9- in phenanthrene) are more reactive than others, and merging (resonance) stabilization during product formation is an important consideration. Most of the substitution reactions involve the triplet m r * state of the arene, but others involve the singlet m*state, and there are indications that in some cases the aromatic molecule in its excited state undergoes dissociation to produce an ion which subsequently reacts with the nucleophile. There are few reported examples in which benzene undergoes light-induced substitution, hence a report concerned with the nitric oxide-benzene system is 86

The photosubstitution of halogen in aryl halides has in past years been studied in detail by Russian workers, who now report displacement reactions by sulphite, nitrite,89and cyanide ions.no Thus sulphite reacts with RC6H4X(R, X = p-Et2N, C1; p-Me2N, C1; p-EtNH, C1; p-NH2, C1; p-NH2, F; p-NH2, Br; p-NH2, I; p-PhNH, C1; 0-NH,, CI;and p-ONa, CI), and with 4-chloro-o-toluidine, 2-amino5-chloropyridine, and 1-amino-4-bromonaphthalene by substitution of the halogen: the reactions are deduced to arise from the triplet states of the halogen compounds. The reaction of NaNO, and Na,SO, with p-ClC6H4NR2(R = Me or Et) has been studied in the presence of other ions, and the quenching of the process was found to vary with the oxidation potential of the added ions, their redox reaction constants with nascent hydrogen, and their energy of chargetransfer by the ion to the solvent. Photosubstitution of halogen by the cyanide ion has been investigated in the naphthalene series where irradiation of aqueous t-butyl alcohol solutions of potassium cyanide and l-amino-4-chloro-, 1-amino4-bromo-, 2-amino-l-chloro-, or 1-amino-2-chloro-naphthalenes gives the corresponding aminocyanonaphthalenes.no The photocyanidation of aromatic hydrocarbons has been reported to be enhanced in the presence of both ‘crown ethers’ n1 and 1,4-dicyanoben~ene.~~ In the former account, naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene, and biphenyl all reacted readily with potassium cyanide dissolved in the cyclic polyether 18-crown-6 in anhydrous acetonitrile.nl Under such conditions, of course, the cyano nucleophile is unsolvated whereas when water is present the ion is strongly solvated. An extensive systematic study of the use of crown ethers in light-induced nucleophilic substitution reactions would be most informative. Similarly the photocyanidation of naphthalene and phenanthrene is observed to occur efficiently with sodium cyanide when 1,ddicyanoIn this case the reaction medium is dimethylformamidebenzene is water (3 : 1). The Pyrex-filtered irradiation of phenanthrene in this system gives 9-cyanophenanthrene (679, its photo-dimer, 9-cyano-9,lO-dihydrophenanthrene (4979, and dicyanated products. The authors stress the necessity for the presence of water and the dicyanobenzene otherwise the reaction rate is reduced to about 7% of that in their presence. The reaction is interpreted in turns of CN- attack on the cation-radicals of the arenes generated by electron-transfer from the excited hydrocarbon to the 1,6dicyanobenzene. No ground-state complexation was observed. With naphthalene the results were very similar, and l-cyanodihydronaphthalenes, 1-cyanonaphthalene, and dicyanotetrahydronaphthalene were formed together with other unspecified compounds. Both 0-and p-dicyanobenzenes are, however, photochemically labile in the presence of triethylamine, and the 254 nm irradiation of their acetonitrile solutions gives reasonable yields (56% from the p-isomer) of the corresponding ethylbenzonitriles together with 88

The step from (108) to p-ethylbenzonitrile is considered to be photochemical and-indeed irradiation of (108) in triethylamine does yield the observed product. Irradiation (254nm) of 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene in tetrahydrofuran has been reported to yield tetrahydro-2-(2,4,5-tricyanophenyl)furan(1 lo), and as with the above system an addition-elimination mechanism is proposed (Scheme 6).98

Each year a number of reports describe the photochemical dehalogenation of aryl halides, and in particular the dechlorination of chlorinated biphenyls, an environmental interest which has been highlighted by the recent accident at Seveso in Italy involving tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.The photodechlorination of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene has been studied in both cyclohexane and propan-2-01 solutions and the primary products shown to be the 1,3- and 1,4-dichlorobenzenes.gs The product ratio is significantly different on direct and acetonesensitized irradiation, and in propan-2-01 solution under aerated conditions is fairly efficient (0= 0.44). Irradiation of cyclohexane solutions of tri- and tetra-chlorobiphenyls at 300 nm gives dechlorinated products, but quantum yields were reported to be only ca. 10-2.99 The reactivity of the biphenyls is dependent upon the position of the chlorine substituent ; o-chlorines cleave first and faster when p-chlorines are present on the same ring. The photoreduction of 3- and 4-chlorobiphenyl has been reported to occur in the presence of sodium borohydride or triethylamine, but with each isomer and reagent the mechanism of the reaction seemingly differs.loOThus, whereas the reaction of the 3-isomer with the borohydride is deduced from deuterium-labelling experiments to occur via a hydride-proton transfer mechanism, the 4-isomer reacts via a radical-chain mechanism of a type previously proposed for similar systems.101 With triethylamine as the reagent, the 4-isomer is efficiently' reduced via an electron-transfer process to yield biphenyl, but in the same system the 3-isomer yields 3-chloro-1,4-dihydrobiphenyl(0= 0.1) together with biphenyl (0= 0.3). Photolysis of both hexachloro- and hexabromo-biphenyls in methanol solution gives the corresponding tetra- and penta-halogenobiphenyls, but in aerated methanol the reaction rates are decreased by ca. 5O%.lo2 In the case of bromobiphenyls, evidence has been presented to show that the C-Br fission is preceded by electron transfer, and that the reaction is assisted by trieth~1amine.l~~ In this latter system, it is suggested that the triplet aryl bromide interacts with the amine to yield the amine radical-cation, the bromide anion, and an aryl radical which abstracts hydrogen from the solvent. The same workers have also investigated the photodegradation of polychloronaphthalenes in methanol s01ution.l~~ Dechlorination and formation of binaphthyl derivatives occur and, of the 20 B.

compounds examined, 1,8-dichloronaphthalene had the highest rate of reaction and the 1,2,3,4-tetrachloro-derivativethe lowest. In the light of current intensive efforts to dehalogenate aromatic compounds, it is interesting to note that for some workers at least, the photobromination of halogeno- and dihalogenobenzenes is still an absorbing and worthwhile area of research.lo5 Study of the irradiation of the thioester (115) has led to the observation of a somewhat exotic light-induced substitution of chIorine.lo8 Neither of the expected products (116) and (117) was detected, but (116) was implicated in the process because (118) (33%) was formed, together with 3,3’,4,4’-tetrachlorodiphenyl sulphide (15%) and 2-methylsulphonylbenzaldehyde (27%). Consistent with the intermediacy of (116) in the formation of (118), irradiation of (119a and b) in the presence of p-methylthiophenol gave (120a and b) in respective yields of 62 and 58%: irradiation of (121) also yielded the cyclized halogensubstituted product (122). Although photodealkylation of amines is well known,lo7N-aryl bond cleavage in aryl amines is unusual. This year, however, the photochemical deamination of phenylenediamines in acid solution has been described.lo8 For example, the irradiation of NN-dimethyl-p-phenylenediaminehydrogen sulphate or hydrochloride in methanol yields aniline as the major product via bond homolysis. It appears that the monoprotonated diamine is the reactive species. The formation of biphenyl derivatives from the photolysis of benzenoid compounds has again been noted with several systems. Thus irradiation of 2-t-butyl-4-methoxyphenol in benzene solution has been reported to yield the biphenyl derivatives (123)-(125), together with the intriguing adduct (126),lo9 and from methyl benzenesulphonate in methanol solution, biphenyl, anisole, and benzene are formed via radical reactions.l1° Irradiation of N-arylsulphonylSS-dimethylsulphoximides (127) in either benzene or toluene leads to biphenyl, again by aryl radical coupling.lll Photoisomerization of the 0- and m-methylbiphenyls yields mixtures of the three isomers in which the m-isomer predominates. Under the reaction conditions (254 nm radiation) the p-isomer is photostable: benzvalene intermediates are suggested.lll Lablache-Combier and his group have done much to help achieve an understanding of the light-induced substitution reactions of pyridine, quinoline, and isoquinoline, and their derivative^.^^, 112 They have now published full details concerning the mechanism of photosubstitution of such compounds by methanol in neutral and acidified (HCI) media, and report that pyridine, quinoline, 4-methylquinoline, isoquinoline, and 9-phenylacridine give initially the corresponding In neutral media hydrogen-abstraction semiquinone radicals in both lo6

Photochemistry of Aromatic Compoiinds 389 and p-anisoyl chlorides were all observed to react photochemically with the arene to yield 2- and 9-aroylanthracenes. The anthracene fluorescence is quenched by the aroyl chloride, and the involvement of an exciplex between the S1aromatic compound and the ground-state acid chloride is suggested, but as with so many systems this could not be substantiated by exciplex emission. The formation of acetophenone by irradiation of acetyl chloride (but not acetic anhydride) in benzene has previously been reported.llsa Photochemical substitution in 9,lO-anthraquinone and its derivatives continues to attract the attention of several groups. Filipescu and co-workers have reported that photohydroxylation of the parent quinone occurs readily in concentrated sulphuric acid with near-u.v. or visible light to yield 2-hydro~yanthraquinone.~~~ Unlike the l-isomer, 2-hydroxyanthraquinone is normally tedious to prepare but the present one-step reaction can readily provide it in > 80% chemical yields. There appears to be some controversy over the mechanism of the previously reported photohydroxylation of sodium 9,10-anthraquinone-2-s~lphonate.~~~ A new mechanism which rules out the participation of kinetically free hydroxyl radicals has been proposed,llg but Stonehill and Clark have criticized the mechanistic conclusions as inconsistent with some of their results.120 Further it would appear that the mechanism outlined in ref. 119 would not operate in aerobic systems for which mechanisms proposed by the authors of ref. 120 were designed. The photosynthesis of aminoanthraquinone sulphonates has been reported from the irradiation with visible light of aminoanthraquinone and sodium sulphite in aqueous pyridine.121 A 92.6% yield of l-aminoanthraquinone2-sulphonate is obtained under air or nitrogen, but yields with an oxygen atmosphere are poor as the sulphite is oxidized to sulphate. A mechanism involving the triplet quinone (Scheme 8) is suggested. Two groups have commented on the photosubstitution of halogens in halogenoanthraquinones by 3ArH"

5 Intramolecular Cyclization Reactions As in past years, examples of a wide diversity of light-induced cyclization reactions have been described. Stilbene-phenanthrene type processes still attract considerable interest, particularly for their use in the synthesis of helicenes. The concept that the sum of the free valence numbers of atoms involved in the cyclization step should exceed unity (i.e. CF* > 1.0) has been widely used to predict the positions of preferred cyclization. However, two groups have reported that Mulliken electronic overlap populations calculated from extended Hiickel (EH) wavefunctions are valuable indications of reactivity in photocyclizations and dimerization~.~~~, lZ8In a combined report,12gthis approach has been used to show that the reactivity of several pentahelicene derivatives can be directly related to the EH first excited state electronic overlap population of the pair of atoms involved in photocyclization, as well as to the difference in electronic overlap population of these atoms resulting from electronic excitation. This approach is likely to be more widely adopted now that its utility has been demonstrated. Many publications have discussed the dihydrophenanthrene intermediate (140) in the stilbene cyclization process from the viewpoint of its stability, stereochemistry (cis or trans), and nature of the reactive state in its formafion.lao Molecular orbital and energy strain studies have now been applied to such photocyclizations, as illustrated by a discussion of the formation of (140), 10b,10c-dihydrodibenzo[c,g]phenanthrene (141), and 14a,l4b-dihydrodibenzo[b,g]phenanthrene (142) and their ground- and excited-state reactions.131 The particular objective was to determine the factors responsible in the (143) --f (142)

and (143) -+(141) conversions for a number of features, including the absence of the cyclized product (144), the large (ca. 42 kJmol-l) energy barrier in the latter process which is not present in the former, the low quantum efficiency of the (141) -+ (143) conversion and its marked temperature dependence, the relatively slow thermal reopening of (141), and the reason for the strong fluorescence of (141) (0= 0.7) when other dihydrophenanthrenes are nonfluorescent.

One of the photoisomers is light-stable and thermally stable below - 140 "C. The quantum efficiency of the conversion of (145) into this isomer decreases with temperature, but is enhanced (up to 220-fold) by the spin-orbit coupling perturbers molecular oxygen, CS2, and ethyl iodide, and hence the conversion is considered to arise from the triplet state. This isomer has a lifetime of 0.05 ms at 0 "C and is the photochromic isomer previously described 134 and observed in practically all dianthrone and dixanthylidene derivatives : its structure involves torsional twist of about 50" about the central bond in (145). The other two isomers are photolabile, are formed from the singlet state of (145), and one is possibly the

precursor of the other. Both are cyclization products of the 4a,4b-dihydrophenanthrene type and one of them, which is photochemically converted back into (145), is deduced to have structure (146). The precursor of this isomer is suggested to be a conformer having a lower thermal stability than (146). Helixanthen (147) is obtained by thermal dehydrogenation of (146) by either molecular oxygen or iodine.133 Full details have been published of the cyclization of the rigid chromophore in substituted 2,3-biphenylbenzo[b]furans (148) in the absence and presence of 13a

It is concluded from deuterium-labelling experiments that hydrogen atoms from the n-propyl chain of the amine are incorporated I

in the product: hindered amines give only the aromatic product (149). From the observation that acenaphthylene is reduced when incorporated into the irradiation of (148) in the presence of n-propylamine, it is proposed that the hydrogens are eliminated during cyclization not as atoms but in a ‘reductive form’. There have been several publications describing the formation of a phenanthrene by stilbene cyclization as a secondary photoreaction : three are mentioned here. Photolysis (254 nm) of benzpinacol carbonate in methanol yields C 0 2 , Ph2C0, diphenylrnethoxymethane, and tetraphenylethylene : the last compound subsequently yields 9,lO-diphenylphenanthrene in a separate photochemical Two groups have studied the photochemistry of 1,l-diphenylsubstituted vinyl halides in benzene 138 and ether 139 solutions. Both report the formation of tolan and its derivatives, but from the former system 9-phenylphenanthrene also results by reaction of the solvent with the intermediate biradical (151) and subsequent cyclization. The authors of ref. 139 report the formation of phenanthrene from experiments involving 1,2-disubstituted ethylenes which were designed to elucidate the mechanism of the formation of the acetylenes from the 1,l-diphenylethylenes. The use of stilbene cyclization in the synthesis of helicenes is very well known,32 and further examples have been reported. A systematic study of the reaction 136

Thus [lll-helicene is formed from (154) and (155) in 54 and 84% yields, respectively, and similar approaches are described for the other two helicenes with yields between 10 and 45% depending on the precursor.

Laarhoven and Kuin have examined the photocheinistry of 2-(2-benzo[c]phenanthrylethenyl)-l,6-methano[l01annulene (156).143 The interest here is in the fate of the bridge on the annulene ring on photocyclization of the two aromatic moieties. Irradiation (360 nm) of an ethanol solution of the cis-trans mixture of (156) in the presence of iodine gives an isolated yield of (157) of 60%. It is not known at present whether the methano-group is eliminated before or after cyclization, but the absence of methano[ l01annulene derivatives from the reaction mixture indicates that the decomposition is probably faster than the cyclization. The present type of cyclization process has also been examined for polymersupported 1,2-diarylethylene~.l~~ Irradiation of a suspension in benzene of l-(4-formylphenyl)-Z(Zbenzo[c]phenanthryl)ethylene (158) and 1-(4-formylphenyl)-2-(2-naphthyl)ethylene (159) attached to a styrene-divinyl benzene copolymer yields (160) and (161), respectively, after hydrolysis. The latter conversion was also noted when the polymer was irradiated in the absence of solvent.

It is known that irradiation of o-divinylbenzene yields (162) by a (4 2) addition, plus traces of tetralin, dihydronaphthalene, and naphthalene: 2,3-divinylnaphthalene (but not the 1,2-isomer) also gives 5% of a (2 + 2) cyc10adduct.l~~Such reaction has now been investigated with 2-vinylstilbene where a stilbene-type cyclization is also very pr0bab1e.l~~Indeed, 15% of l-vinylphenanthrene was formed, but the major product (70% yield) was exo-5-phenylbenzobicyclo[2,l,l]hex-2-ene (163), and only 2% of the endo compound was

obtained. The differences in behaviour between o-divinylbenzene and 2-vinylstilbene are attributed, at least in part, to conformational differences. The authors also reported the formation of (164) and the product corresponding to (163) by photolysis of 2,2’-divinylstilbene. The conversion of azobenzene into benzo[c]cinnoline has been the subject of two reports. The essential presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding for photochemical cyclization of azobenzene-o-carboxylic acids has been proved by and the process has been the lack of reaction of the esters in neutral observed to occur with some other azobenzene derivatives (165) in 95% concenProlonged trated sulphuric acid, and in CH,Cl, in the presence of Lewis irradiation of (165) in CH2C12alone does not yield products. Cyclizations of 1,4-diaryIbuta-1,3-dienesystems which are rigidly held in the cisoid-diene configuration have been well studied by Heller and co-workers for a number of years, and further reports have appeared. Many of these compounds display phot ochromism. The (22,3Z)-isomer of 2- benzylidene-2,3-dih ydro3-mesityl-3-phenylmethylenebenzofuran (166) yields the (22,3E)-isomer on irradiation; this in turn undergoes photocyclization via a conrotatory mode to 145

Under similar anaerobic conditions, the N-methyl derivative yields the trans-fused isomer of (191); and whereas irradiation of (189) in D 2 0 yields (191) with deuterium in the 14-position, similar reaction of the N-methyl compound yields both the non-deuteriated trans-form of (191) and the corresponding N-methyl cis-16deuteriated (191) derivative. From these results it is deduced that the cis-14-hydrogen comes almost exclusively from the media whereas the trans14-hydrogen originates from an internal source. The occurrence of cyclization of 3-aroylchromones is found to be very dependent on substituents.ls2 Thus whereas 3-benzoyl-2-methylchromone (192) is seemingly stable under the reaction conditions, its isomer 3-(o-toluoyl)- chromone (193) readily forms benzoxanthenone (195) via the enol (194).

depsidones.lB7 Such compounds as (199) and three of its more complex derivatives bearing 2-methoxy groups yield the corresponding dibenzofurans by the now well-known procedure (see ref. 32) involving loss of the elements of methanol. In contrast, other methoxyphenyl phenyl ethers photoisomerized to hydroxybiphenyls. The mechanism of these processes and the structural factors which favour the cyclization are discussed on the basic assumption that irradiation of the ethers results in initial formation of an uncleaved biradical species which undergoes various reactions leading to biphenyls, cleavage products, or dibenzofurans: the most favourable pathway is that which involves the most stable biradicals, and the direction of cleavage in asymmetrical ethers to give the hydroxybiphenyl is of course determined by the stability of the intermediate radicals. In a comparison of the photoreactions of Ph2CH-X-CHPh2 systems (X = NH, CH2, 0, and S), the transition state leading to products (e.g. biphenyl) is suggested to resemble the cyclized product Incorporation of a halogen atom in one of the rings naturally causes a considerable change in the photochemistry, and the irradiation of aqueous solutions of 2-iododibenzylamine hydrochlorides has provided a convenient synthesis of 6,7-dihydro-SH-dibenz[c,e]azepines (201).ls@Similarly, N-(2-halogenobenzyl)-~-phenethylaminehydrochlorides yield the corresponding 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrodibenz[c,e]azocines (202).

The cyclization arising from light-induced loss of sulphur from compounds (235) 186 and (236) is revieved in Part 111, Chapter 6. 6 Dimerization Reactions Work prior to 1975 on the light-induced dimerization of anthracenes has been very well reviewed by Cowan and Drisko.l** It has previously been suggested that the photodimerization observed with certain compounds in the crystalline state is the result of exciton trapping at dislocation sites in the Such exciton trapping properties of an idealized plane defect core have been studied theoretically, as has the macroscopically strained region around the core, and the theory has been applied to the case of crystalline anfhracene.lQo It is suggested that the core trapping initiates the dimerization, but that the compressive strains which are set up in the dimerization region following the formation of some dimer are responsible for the subsequent trapping to produce further dimer in these regions. The photochemistry and photophysics of a number of 9-substituted anthracene sandwich pairs have been studied in the corresponding photo-dimer crystal matrices, and in methylcyclohexane matrices at 6 K.lQ1The photodimerization of 9-methyl-, 9-chloro-, and 9-cyano-derivatives of anthracene in the dimer matrix at 6 K occurs with unit quantum yield, but the presence of excimer fluorescence from sandwich pairs indicates that the topochemical orientation is not perfect. Activation processes which lead to reaction involve molecular reorientation from more stable groundstate configurations, and these are achieved within the constraints imposed by the T. L.

Other workers have also reported on the luminescence of the sandwich dimer of anthracene produced by photocleavage of dianthracene in methylcyclohexane at 77 K.lQaTopochemical dimerization has been used as a new method for enantiomeric purification.lQ3 The basic principle is to attach chemically a photodimerizable molecule to an enantiomerically enriched sample of an alcohol, amine, etc. The photodimerizable molecules containing the chiral group may crystallize in either the photoactive a-form or in the light-stable y-form, as the short distance for /3-packing is precluded by the bulky chiral group. Irradiation of the mixture then yields the meso photodimer from the a-form whereas the y-form is unaffected and easily separated from the reaction mixture. This

oYo-z-Ar approach has been applied to the enantiomeric separation of three 1-arylethanols which were condensed with 9-anthroic acid to yield the corresponding anthroates (237). The crystalline esters were exposed to U.V. light, and the unaffected monomer was extracted simply from the sparingly soluble dianthracenes (238) which reverted to the monomers at their melting points. The chemical yield is quoted as >80% and the enantiomeric purities of the recovered unreacted monomer > 90%. It is to be hoped that this novel method of optical purification will be extended to other systems. The quantum yields of photodimerization and fluorescence have been measured for 9-anthroamide, and methyl, ethyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, and cyclohexyl9-anthroates, as a function of c o n ~ e n t r a t i o n .From ~ ~ ~ these efficiencies and data of fluorescence lifetimes, rate ratios and individual rate constants have been evaluated for several mechanistic schemes.

the effect of solvent on the efficiency of the The quantum yields for dimerization of anthracene and some 2,4-substituted derivatives have been recorded, and it has been reported that disymmetry of charge on the meso positions, the presence of halogen and groups capable of inducing nn* transitions, and again steric constraints all hinder the process; but the effects of solvents (benzene, diethyl ether, acetonitrile, and ethanol) are only weak. The structures of the photodimers of tetracene produced from irradiation of M solutions in benzene have been determined by X-ray diffraction.lg7 2 x Two dimers are formed: structure (239) is assigned to the one which is soluble in organic media, and (240) to the insoluble isomer.

All previously reported intramolecular dimerizations of such systems have involved the anthracene 9,1@9’,1O’-positions : this year, however, an exception to this has been described. Thus Bouas-Laurent and his co-workers, who are well known for their studies on the intermolecular process, have observed that irradiation of bis-(g-anthryl)-l, 1,3,3-tetrarnethyldisiloxane (245) leads to unsymmetrical dimerization of the anthracene moieties with the formation of (246).201This is the first example of photodimerization involving the 1,4-positions and is rationalized by the steric hindrance of the bulky Me,Si groups preventing closure between the 9,lO- and 9’,1O’-positions.

The presence of oxygen had apparently no effect on the rearrangement, but benzoic acid was formed, it is suggested, from free radicals which escaped from the solvent cage. The authors tentatively interpret their results in terms of an energy-dependent radiationless transition to a reactive singlet state of the carbonyl group. Cleavage of the N-C bond follows to yield free radicals, as outlined in ref. 211.

1 Conversion of C=O into C-OH This year has seen a growing realization of the difficulties, which have sometimes been overlooked, when making quantitative measurements of the photoreduction of carbonyl compounds.

formed during the photoreduction of benzophenone in the presence of hydrogen donors. Both U.V. absorption spectra and benzophenone triplet lifetime measurements show the presence of transients which are sensitive to oxygen. The decay of two species with half-lives of 1.7 and 27 h in iso-octane is noted. The major photoproduct, benzpinacol (l), has a low quenching constant (4 x lo6 1 mol-1 s-l) for triplet benzophenone, but the unstable compounds appear to be diffusioncontrolled quenchers. This complicates any measurements of the quantum yield of photoreduction in hydrogen donors, because the transients can affect J. Chilton, L. Giering, and C. Steel, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1976, 98, 1865.

Photochemistry the measured values both by competing light absorption and by their tripletquenching effect. Steel et a1.l have used Fourier-transform n.m.r. as a useful method for the investigation of these light-absorbing transients. The advantages of this method are that solutions of relatively low concentrations (ca. moll-l) can be quickly analysed in sealed tubes, free from the complication of exposure to oxygen. The n.m.r. spectra show that benzpinacol is formed immediately as the major photoproduct from benzophenone in propan-2-01 or cyclohexane; it is not formed by a slow dark reaction of the light-absorbing transients. In fact, transients such as (2) and (3) can amount to only a small fraction of the total product (perhaps 2%). Schuster and his co-workers have raised some interesting general points concerning photoreduction in their study of light-intensity effects in the photochemistry of cyclohexadienone (4). The main products from irradiation of (4) in propan-2-01 are the reduction product p-cresol (3,the cyclopentenone ether (6), chloroform, and acetone (Scheme 2). The most important observation is a 414

actually decreases slightly with increasing light intensity. This may be because the steady-state concentration of free radicals increases with light intensity, and radical-radical reactions such as reaction ( 6 ) (discussed later in this section) serve to terminate the free-radical chain of reactions (3)-(5). The triplet (4) 2Me,dlOH

is the precursor of the zwitterion (8), which leads to (6), and this pathway is not noticeably affected by oxygen. Formation of ( 5 ) is quenched by cyclohexa1,3-diene and by di-t-butyl nitroxide, although these quenchers cannot be intercepting the triplet state of (4) because the formation of (6) is little quenched. Consequently, it is proposed that the quenchers can act not only by tripletenergy quenching, but also by scavenging intermediate radicals, as previously suggested by other workers.a, Certainly the Stern-Volmer plot of ( 5 ) quenching against cyclohexadiene concentration is non-linear, with an initially steep portion at low diene concentrations.

Schuster considers that more attention should be paid to light-intensity effects, especially in reactions with radical intermediates. He points out that some of the observed changes in the course of photochemical reactions on varying the wavelength of the incident light could be due to light-intensity effects in such systems. A further publication has reinforced the view 6, that decafluorobenzophenone (9) is unsuitable for use as an actinometer. Not only do fast dark reactions occur when irradiating low concentrations of (9) in propan-2-01, but also the reaction becomes more complex with increasing concentration of (9). a

appear to take place at high light intensities via a biphotonic process involving a higher excited triplet state of the carbonyl compound.8 This hydrogen abstraction from solvent produces ketyl radicals and solvent-derived radicals (Scheme 3 ; X = Ph, Me, or H), both of which were detected by e.s.r. In the case of benzaldehyde, competing a-cleavage to produce benzoyl radicals is also important. Laser photolysis of benzophenone in benzene and cyclohexane leads to the ketyl radical (Ph&OH),1° which could be made to fluoresce by simultaneous irradiation with a beam of electrons.ll An e.s.r. study has been made of the ketyl radical produced on irradiation of benzophenone labelled at the carbonyl by 13C.12 Nanosecond flash photolysis measurements suggest that transient hydrogen abstraction by triplet benzophenone provides a pathway in its deactivation route, even in the absence of photoprodu~ts.~~ In the presence of the hydrogen donors NN-dimethyltoluidine or 3-methylindole, xanthone reacts to give the xanthone ketyl radi~a1.l~Quenching of this ketyl radical by oxygen is very rapid ( k = 2-3 x lo91 mol-l s-l). Using a specifically deuteriated steroid, Breslow and co-workers l5 have confirmed the earlier proposal l6for the mechanism of the stereospecific functionalization of the steroid nucleus by means of the photochemical hydrogen abstraction of attached benzophenone esters. The photoreduction of the bridgehead phenyl ketones (10)-(12) has been rep0rted.l' Both pinacol and carbinol are formed in the yields shown in Scheme 4,the remainder of the products arising from a-cleavage and subsequent reactions. A re-investigation of the photochemistry of methyl 2-naphthyl ketone shows that dilute solutions in propan-2-01 do appear to undergo slow reduction on irradiation at 350 nm, although the reaction products could not be isolated.18 In more concentrated solutions, triplet self-quenching leads to a reduction in product formation.

Photoreduction of the benzanthrone (13) occurs on irradiation in hexane or alcohol ~ o l u t i o n s .Presumably, ~~ the 7 ~ nature 7 ~ ~of the lowest excited states accounts for the low quantum yield (ca. at 365 nm) of reduction. Irradiation

of 3-acetylcoumarin (14) in propan-2-01 produces a C-4-linked dihydro-dimer in high yield.20 Hydrogen abstraction by the acetyl group, followed by dimerization of the resulting coumarinyl radicals, is thought to be responsible for this reaction. Thus, a similar irradiation of 3-methoxycarbonylcoumarin in propan-2-01 does not lead to reduction. An interesting paper has appeared concerning the detection by CIDNP spectroscopy of enols formed during the photoreduction of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones.21 The enols (with lifetimes of 1@ 20s) are formed by disproportionation reactions of ketyl radicals bearing a hydrogen atom on the carbon adjacent to the radical centre (e.g. as shown for acetone in Scheme 5). These enols seem to be a general feature of aliphatic aldehyde and ketone photoreduction. Consequently, the enolization reaction presents an important route to carbonyl deactivation, because slow thermal ketonization of the enol regenerates starting materials. A study of [2H6]acetone photoreduction by propan-2-01 enables the ratio of rate constants to be found for the reactions in I @ P. Bentley, J. F. McKellar, and G. 0. Phillips, J.C.S.

However, (21) reacts eight times faster than (22), showing a preference for axial hydrogen abstraction.

Irradiation of 1,4-dioxan leads, by hydrogen abstraction, to two pairs of diastereoisomers, (23) and (24).33 It is postulated that a dioxyl radical (25) gives ring-breaking similar to that mentioned above,31 leading to ethoxyacetaldehyde, then (photochemically) to acetaldehyde, and the photoreduction of this in dioxan gives the diastereoisomeric alcohols (24). It is not obvious whether absorption by impurities or direct absorption by dioxan provides the original source of dioxyl radicals (25). M. P. Zink, H. R. Wolf, E. P. Miiller, W. B. Schweizer, and 0.

Ledwith 34 has reviewed the photoinitiation of polymerization by aromatic carbonyl compounds, quoting examples which involve photochemical hyd,rogen abstraction as the radical-generating step. The diphenylketyl radical (Ph,COH), generated photochemically by irradiation of benzophenone in propan-2-01, gives a novel radical substitution reaction on the 4-cyanopyridinium ion, probably as a result of an electron-transfer reaction from ketyl to 4-cyanopyridinium Previtali and Scaiano 38 have continued their theoretical study of the photoreduction of carbonyl triplets, applying it this time to the rates of hydrogen abstraction from bonds other than C-H. The furan-2,3-dione (26) reacts photochemically at the C-3 carbonyl group with cyclohexene or 2-methylbut-2-ene, to give mixtures of oxetans and hydrogen-abstraction Choo and Wan 38 have made a comparative study of CIDNP and CIDEP (electron polarization) spectra in the photoreduction of pyruvic acid in hydrogen-donating solvents.

A kinetic analysis shows that k , = 7.1 x lo4 lmol-ls-l, whereas klo = 2 x lo7Imol-ls-l, thus showing the important role of ammonia in complex formation. McLauchlan and Sealy 40 have questioned the assumption that triplet quinones always react with alcohols (e.g. R,CHOH) to produce hydroxyalkyl radicals (e.g. R&OH). E.s.r. spin-trapping experiments have led to the detection of alkoxy-radicals (e.g. R,CHO*) which may have been formed directly or else by initial electron transfer [reactions (14) and (15); Q = quinone].

Photochemistry from extrapolation of the results at low amine concentrations. The effect is less marked in aqueous pyridine (at pH 12) for the reduction of 4-benzoylbenzoate ion by triethylamine, and is not evident in the reduction by 2-butylamine under these conditions. Explanations for these results are based on two related arguments: (i) the amine catalyses the transfer of a proton from radical-cation to radical-anion (a) in the compIex (31), (ii) a ground-state complex of ketone and amine is formed which, after excitation, interacts with amine in solution to produce (31). It seems that much more work is required before these proposals could be proven. Arimitsu and co-workers 50 have extended their earlier laser photolysis studies 51 of the quenching of triplet benzophenone by various amines. Tertiary aromatic amines (e.g. NN-diethylaniline and NN-dimethyl-p-toluidine) give rise to electron transfer in acetonitrile as solvent, producing benzophenone radical-anion and amine radical-cation. However, hydrogen abstraction is the observed process in benzene, producing the benzophenone ketyl radical. Using a range of solvents, it has been shown that the two processes of electron transfer and hydrogen abstraction compete according to the polarity of the solvent. The sum of the quantum yields for ionic dissociation and photoreduction is unity for both the benzophenone-diethylaniline and the benzophenonedimethyltoluidine systems. Primary and secondary aromatic amines or aliphatic amines produce the benzophenone ketyl radical in all the solvents used. Roth and Manion have been able to distinguish the spectra of the neutral aminoalkyl radicals (32) and the aminium radical-cations (33) by means of their CIDNP hyperfine coupling p,p’-Disubstituted benzophenones (X = Cl, Me, or MeO) irradiated in acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine 424

gave CIDNP signals assigned to diethylvinylamine which implied the intermediacy of neutral radicals (32). On the other hand, irradiation of decafluorobenzophenone (9) in acetonitrile in the presence of NN-diethyl-p-toluidine suggested the radical-cation (33) as an intermediate. The amine NN-diethylp-toluidine reacted with several other triplet aromatic ketones in acetone to give evidence for both (33) and (32), i.e. an electron-transfer process and a net hydrogen abstraction. These results are certainly in agreement with those of Arimitsu et aLY5Oand illustrate the importance of solvent in determining the species formed in such systems. Unfortunately, Roth and Manion52could not tell whether species (33) and (32) were formed consecutively or independently. A full account has appeared of the a-diketone (triplet) sensitized decomposition of the acetoin derivatives (34) where R is a nitrogen-containing substituent such as pyrrol-Zyl or ind01-3-yl.~~Electron transfer from nitrogen to photoexcited 60

A study of the photoreduction of 4-benzoylbenzoate ion by methionine (35) and related compounds (36)-(43) shows the relative importance of chargetransfer interaction of the excited ketone with either sulphur or nitrogen as the electron-donor atom.54 For example, triplet ketone interacts with the methionine anion to produce the triplet exciplexes shown in Scheme 10.

426 Photochemistry amides (41) and (42), as expected, show quite low values of kir. Consequently, it can be deduced that the initial charge-transfer interactions for (35) and (37) are ca. 90% at sulphur and 10% at nitrogen (because kir = lOki,,), and for (36) >99.9% at sulphur. The quantum yield for reduction arising from interaction at sulphur may be quite low (< 0.09), so that the larger values observed for (35) and (37) may be taken as evidence for electron transfer (kxin Scheme 10) within the triplet exciplexes. A related mechanism is responsible for the synthesis of medium- and large-sized rings which occurs by cyclization on irradiation of sulphur-containing phthalimides (44).66 Charge-transfer interaction of excited 0

carbonyl with thioether may lead to easy removal of protons from C-H bonds adjacent to the sulphur atom. The resulting biradicals subsequently undergo ring closure, and reaction is therefore regioselective. A variety of 3-aminopropiophenone derivatives gave photopinacolization products (2-25% yield) on U.V. irradiation.66 Other p-amino-ketones such as N-methyl-4-piperidone7 tropinone, or 1-diethylaminobutan-3-one apparently underwent photoreduction to the corresponding /I-amino-alcohols on irradiation at 238 or 313 nm in hexane, although no reaction products were Interaction of singlet excited alkanones with diethylamine and triethylamine probably generates an exciplex.68 Singlet reaction rates, as measured by alkanone fluorescence quenching, show a strong dependence on the steric accessibility of the alkanone carbonyl group. 2 Reduction of Nitrogen-containing Compounds Dopp has published an interesting review of the triplet-state reactions of aromatic nitro-compounds, covering hydrogen abstractions and photoreductions of nitrobenzenes, nitronaphthalenes, and nitropyridine~.~~ Cu and Testa 6o have reported the photoreduction of 5-nitroquinoline in 50% aqueous propan-2-01 in the presence of hydrochloric acid.

The pyridine (45) upon irradiation in aqueous acetonitrile in the presence of diethylamine gives the reduction products (46) and (47), rather than an adduct of amine with heterocycle.63 It is possible that (47) is a secondary photolysis product, formed from (46).

Although these same radicals are produced on irradiation in HC1-acidified methanol, a different biphotonic process pertains. In this latter case, it is proposed that electron transfer occurs from alcohol to an upper excited triplet state of the protonated heterocycle. An e.s.r. investigation of the U.V. irradiation of acridine and quinoline in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran at low temperatures has been published,67 and the effect of [Cr(CN)J3- ion on the photoreduction of acridine in ethanol noted.gs The photoreduction of benzo[c]cinnoline in aqueous acidic alcohols involves the protonated species (50) and yields the protonated 5,6-dihydro-derivative (51).69 Further reduction of (51) on irradiation in ethanol at wavelengths greater than 400 nm produces 2,2'-diaminobiphenyl, possibly through the participation of MeeHOH radicals.

429 However, there are puzzling differences in the mechanisms of reaction, according to the substitution pattern. Thus, the compound (54), like alkylimines, apparently reacts by the ‘chemical sensitization’ route, in which traces of sensitizer (e.g. benzophenone) generate the ketyl radicals which are the effective reducing agent. On the other hand, the N-aroylimines (56)-(58) are photoreduced to (59)-(61)

respectively, with reaction shown to occur from the nn* triplet state of the imine. The failure of (56)-(58) to give a Norrish Type I1 reaction suggests that the initially occurring hydrogen abstraction is by the carbonyl oxygen atom rather than by the imine nitrogen. Triplet quenching experiments show a low rate of reduction for (56)-(58) (k N 1 x lo31 mol-l s-l in propan-2-01), and a high rate of triplet decay, which account for the low quantum yields of reduction (a ca. lo+). Irradiation of the N-acetylimine (62) in toluene leads to the products of solvent addition (63) and reduction (64).74175 Again, evidence is presented for a mechanism of hydrogen abstraction by the excited imine.

Irradiation of the iminolactone (65) in propan-2-01 gives reduction to a mixture of the dl- and meso-dimers of the radical (66).7s This free radical is exceptionally stable, and hence the dimers possess an unusually weak C-C bond.?? A study of the photochemistry of 4-acylpyrimidines has enabled Alexander and Jackson78to estimate the relative reactivities of the C=O and C=N groups in these pyrimidines towards intramolecular hydrogen abstraction.

reactive towards secondary hydrogen abstraction (k = lo8 s-l), whereas C=O triplets are so (k = 1.2 x log s-l). 3 Miscellaneous Reductions The role of transition-metal complexes in photo-assisted hydrogenation continues to be investigated. Schroeder and Wrighton 7g have examined photocatalysed alkene isomerization and hydrogenation using [Fe(CO),]. Hydrogenation occurs on irradiation (300-380 nm) of mixtures of [Fe(CO),] and hydrogen with alkene, the key photochemical step being proposed as generation of [H,Fe(CO),(alkene)]. For simple alkenes, hydrogenation and isomerization occur at comparable rates. Butynediol is photohydrogenated to butenediol by use of the catalyst [IrCI(CO)(PPh,),].80 KroppS1 has continued his work on the photochemistry of alkenes. Unsymmetrically tetrasubstituted alkenes on irradiation in methanol give the corresponding alkanes, besides the products of addition of methanol. Similarly, 2-isopropylidenenorbornane leads to 2-endo-isopropylnorbornaneas a major component of the complex mixture of products. Kropp has now produced evidence in such systems for the ejection of free electrons, formed from the alkene following electron promotion to a Rydberg excited state. The only volatile products from sensitized irradiation of the exo- and endo-isomers of 5-chloronorbornene, 5-hydroxynorbornene, and 5-acetoxynorbornene are the corresponding norbornanes.82 Unexpectedly, no rearrangements or exo-endo isomerizations are noted during these photoreductions. The bicyclic enone (67) 0

is reduced on irradiation in the presence of cyclopentene or cyclohexene as hydrogen donors, yielding (68) amongst the observed products.8s The photoreduction of phenols by sodium borohydride to the corresponding cyclohexenols and cyclohexanols occurs in a surprisingly specific manner.84 By means of n.m.r. shift reagent studies, Barltrop and Bradbury have been able to ascertain the positions of deuterium incorporation on irradiation of p-cresol in aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions in the presence of NaBD,. The 4-methylcyclohexenol product (69) has deuterium incorporated only at the positions shown in Scheme 12. As also shown in this Scheme, a reaction mechanism is proposed to explain these results which involves phenoxide dissociation into phenoxyl radicals and solvated electrons. Subsequent attack by [BDJ- at C-1 of the phenoxyl radical is followed by intramolecular deuterium transfer by a cyclic 79

The 4-methylcyclohexanol also produced may be a secondary product, as it can be formed from 4-methylcyclohexenol on irradiation in the presence of phenol and NaBH,. Attack of hydride ion on excited aromatic compounds can lead to r e d ~ c t i o n . ~ ~ However, a different mechanism for the photoreduction of aromatic hydrocarbons by NaBH, is followed in the presence of an equivalent of an electron acceptor like 1,4-dicyanoben~ene.~~ Photo-Birch reduction to the dihydroderivatives occurs for phenanthrene, anthracene, or naphthalene, on irradiation in aqueous acetonitrile in the presence of NaBH, and 1,ddicyanobenzene. It seems likely that an exciplex of aromatic electron donor (D) with 1,4-dicyanobenzene acceptor (A) dissociates to give aromatic radical-cations, which are then attacked by borohydride ion (Scheme 13).

A similar mechanism to that of Scheme 13 no doubt also applies to the photoreaction of cyanide ion with phenanthrene and naphthalene in the presence of 1,4-di~yanobenzene.~~ Formation of an exciplex in which the aromatic molecule is an electron acceptor rather than an electron donor can also lead to photoreduction.

has led to several studies of the relevant photochemistry. Japanese workers O2 have described the photoreduction of 3- and 4-chlorobiphenyl by sodium borohydride in aqueous acetonitrile to yield biphenyl. The authors favour a mechanism of hydride attack on excited chlorobiphenyl, although it is not clear on what grounds they have rejected the previously proposed radical chain mechanism for reductions of this type.g3 A Swedish groupg4has studied the photochemical dechlorination of 1,2,4-trichIorobenzeneas a model compound relevant to PCB. The primary products on irradiation in cyclohexane or propan-2-01 are 1,3- and 1,4-dichlorobenzene, the product ratio of 1,3- : 1,44sorners being significantly different on direct irradiation (0.15) from that on acetone sensitization (4.8). These facts suggest that both singlet and triplet excited states give rise to dechlorination. Reductive dechlorination is the major reaction on irradiation of hexachlorobiphenyls in of unsymmetrically substituted tri- and tetra-chlorobiphenyls in c y c l o h e ~ a n e , and ~ ~ of polychloronaphthalenes in methanol The tranquillizer chlorpromazine gives a similar reductive dechlorination on irradiation in propan-2-01.~~ The photochemistry of polybromobiphenyls, which are used as plasticizers and flame retardants, has also been in~estigated.~~,Reductive debromination is the main reaction of bromobiphenyls on irradiation at ca. 300 nm in cyclohexane ~ 0 1 u t i o n .As ~ ~for PCB,loO2-substituted biphenyls show enhanced quantum yields of reaction over the 3- or 4-substituted isomers. The presence of triethylamine assists such reductions, and an electron transfer from triethylamine to excited bromo-compound may be responsible. The photoreduction of esters has aroused some interest. PBte lol has explored the reaction mechanism of the previously reported photoreduction of esters to alkanes in wet hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) [reaction (2O)].lo2 It appears R1C02R2

that HMPA is the source of hydrogen, and that reaction goes through a radical intermediate. Moreover, absorption of light by either HMPA or ester can initiate reaction. One possibility is that an exciplex is formed in which an electron can be transferred from HMPA to ester. Subsequent reaction of the ester radical anion with water leads to reduction. Photoreductive removal of the toluene-p-sulphonyl group from tosylate esters of steroids occurs on irradiation in the presence of sodium borohydride, yielding alcohols.103 B2 93 84

434 Photochemistry de Mayo lo4has summarized the hydrogen abstraction reactions given by aliphatic and aromatic thiones. Irradiation of organic disulphides in aldehyde solvents results in reductive fission of the S-S linkage, producing equimolar amounts of the corresponding thiol and acylated thiol.lo6 Lastly, attempts have been made to reach a better understanding of the photoreduction of thiazine dyes in aqueous solution.lo6 4 Singlet Oxygen The purpose of this section is to mention some of the organic aspects of the chemistry of singlet molecular oxygen (lo2, lAg). Ohloff lo7has reviewed the use of singlet oxygen as a reagent in organic synthesis, with emphasis on the preparation of important flavours and fragrances. New or modified sources of continue to be developed. Most dyes used as sensitizers of lo2production are anionic compounds and thus insoluble in aprotic solvents; consequently, this problem must be circumvented for work in such solvents. Schaap and co-workers lo*have published a full account of their work on the use of polymer-based dye sensitizers for generation.loB Such sensitizers have the advantages of being able to function heterogeneously, being more stable towards bleaching than unbound dye, and being easily removed after reaction. For example, polymer-bound Rose Bengal functions quite efficiently, giving a quantum yield of lo2of 0.43 in dichloromethane. It is also possible to prepare polymer-bound sensitizers such as eosin-Y, ffuorescein, chlorophyllin, and haematoporphyrin (the last two possibly being of importance in biological oxidation studies). As an alternative to heterogeneous sensitization, Boden 110 has described the use of homogeneous photosensitization. The dyes Rose Bengal and eosin-Y can be made soluble in carbon disulphide or dichloromethane by the use of crown ethers (e.g. 18-crown-6) or quaternary ammonium salts (e.g. tricaprylmethylammonium chloride), and can then function as sensitizers of lo2production. Other workers 111 have examined the generation in aqueous micellar systems. Singlet oxygen, generated by irradiation of of oxygenated aqueous solutions of methylene blue, can diffuse into sodium dodecyl sulphate micelles, where it may react with solubilized organic substrates (1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran,in this case). This mechanism of transfer may be important in relation to the known effects of lo2in causing damage to biological systems. Peroxides are providing several new sources of lo2.Phthaloyl peroxide (74) in benzene appears to generate lo2at room temperature or on gentle heafing.ll2 P. de Mayo, Accounts Chem. Res., 1976, 9, 52.

There is spectroscopic evidence for generation of (both lAg and lC,+) in the self-reaction of secondary peroxy-radicals derived from linoleic acid.lls Such a process could be involved in microsomal lipid peroxidation.

The upper limit for the yield of lo2production is estimated to be ca. 6%. Osmium(I1) and iridium(n1) complexes have been found to sensitize photo-oxidation by a lo2route.l18 The variation of the quantum yield of lo2production as a function of pH has been measured for the dye toluidine blue as sensitizer.lls The quenching of lo2by organic molecules continues to receive attention. The rate constants for physical quenching of lo, by bilirubin lZo and biliverdin lZob are large and similar (2.3-2.5 x los and 3.3 x los 1 mol-1 s-l, respectively). However, the rate constant for chemical reaction with lo, is much greater for 118 114 116

5 Oxidation of Aliphatic and Alicyclic Unsaturated Systems The controversy continues as to whether the reaction of singlet oxygen with olefins to give allylic hydroperoxides involves an ene-reaction or a perepoxide intermediate. Two theoretical studies of the reaction of singlet oxygen (l&) with ethylene have lent some support to the feasibility of a perepoxide intermediate [(78), Scheme 151 as a shallow minimum on the potential surface.124,126 Dewar and Thie1125have calculated that the transition state for reaction with lo2is reactant-like, and that the perepoxide (78) can rearrange with a higher activation energy to 1,2-dioxetan (79); a concerted route to dioxetan is not favourable. The same method applied to the reaction of propene with lo2 describes the most favoured mechanism for allylic hydroperoxide formation as a two-step process via a perepoxide intermediate. The perepoxide readily rearranges to the product of an ene reaction, For electron-donating substituted olefins, such as vinylamine or 2,3-dihydropyranYformation of a zwitterion [e.g. (SO)] is the preferred addition pathway (Scheme 16).

dioxetan, or to perepoxide, occurs easily, If the perepoxide can in turn rearrange to ene product (Sl), there should be competition between the ene reaction and formation of a dioxetan. Dewar and co-workers126have also sought to explain the formation of the epoxides which have sometimes been observed in the reaction of olefins with loz.Calculations of the three possible reactions (25)-(27) suggest that for

sterically hindered olefins, reaction (27) is unfavourable. Reactions (25) and (26) would then compete to produce a mixture of epoxide and dioxetan (as is indeed observed in some cases). However, for sterically unhindered olefins, reaction of the perepoxide with olefin [reaction (27)] would be the dominant pathway, leading to epoxide. Hence, ethylene should react with lo2to yield oxiran. Since this prediction appeared, it has been demonstrated that la6

Photochemistry formaldehyde chemiluminescence can be detected from the gas-phase reaction of singlet oxygen (lAg) with eth~1ene.l~'Formaldehyde chemiluminescence would arise from fragmentation of a vibrationally excited dioxetan, and is therefore evidence for the formation of 1,Zdioxetan in this system. Arrhenius parameters have been determined for reactions of lo, with some substituted butenes, cyclopentenes, and cyclohexenes in the gas phase.12* Differing reactivities are mainly due to varying activation energies, rather than preexponential factors. An investigation of the kinetic aspects of dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation of olefins in a gas-liquid reactor has concentrated on masstransfer pro blems.12a The conformationally fixed cyclohexylidenecyclohexanes (82) and (83) react with lo, to give, in each case, a mixture of the two stereoisomeric allylic hydroperoxides (84) and (85) (Scheme 17).130 The ratio of (84) : (85) from (82) was 438

Such a result cannot be explained on the basis of a concerted ene mechanism, but supports the formation of an intermediate, which could possibly be a perepoxide, in the reaction. Oxidation of several unconjugated cyclic dienes by lo2gave a normal ene reaction to yield allylic hydroperoxides, and there was no evidence for transannular reaction.lsl cis,cisCyclodeca-l,6-diene appeared to be inert towards loz.

The text of an interesting lecture by Bartlett has been published, in which the formation of dioxetans from '0, and alkenes is reviewed.13* Excited states can be generated photochemically, or by intermolecular or intramolecular energy transfer. Zimmerman has published another route to photochemical rearrangement without light, which involves a dioxetan in the intramolecular generation of an excited As shown in Scheme 18, the dioxetans (91) prepared by low-temperature photosensitized oxidation of the methylenecyclohexadienes (90) decompose on heating to produce cyclohexadienone (92) and its known photorearrangement product (93). Curiously, the rearranged product (93) is still observed even when the other carbonyl fragment produced is methyl 2-naphthyl ketone, despite the fact that this latter ketone has a lower triplet energy (ET 59 kcal mol-l) than the cyclohexadienone (92) (ET 68.5 kcal mol-l). This observation may support theoretical predictions of the preferential production of nr* excited triplets in such dioxetan fragmentations, rather than the rn* triplets of methyl 2-naphthyl ketone. Further examples of the reaction of alkylthio-substituted alkenes with lo2 have been reported. For the ethylthiocycloalkenes (94) 140 and (95),141 the dioxetans formed decompose by C-C or C-S bond cleavage. The ratio of the two pathways depends on the ring size of the substrate 140 and the conformation ls6

made here of the fact that Barton and co-workers148have used the triphenylmethyl cation and other electrophiles as catalysts in the photo-oxygenation of ergosteryl acetate to the peroxide. These catalysts allow the ‘spin-forbidden’ addition of triplet (ground-state) oxygen to cisoid conjugated dienes, yielding endo-peroxides. A reaction route involving excitation of a diene-catalyst complex to a triplet state and spin-allowed reaction with triplet oxygen could give ground-state peroxide. Ergosterol is converted into the peroxide in fungi by simultaneous photo-oxidative and enzymic The photo-oxidation process is probably sensitized by known pigments in the fungi. Cyclohexa-l,3-dienes generally react with lo2to form endo-peroxides which may rearrange thermally to lY3-diepoxides.Such reactions have been used in the synthesis of crotepoxide, an anti-tumour agent, from sensitized photooxygenation of the cyclohexadiene (98).14* The diacetate (99), however, was inert towards lo2.

Kondo and Matsumoto lS1 have examined the relative reactivity of acyclic ene and diene systems towards lo2.p-Myrcene (106), which has both isolated and conjugated double bonds, gives reaction at the isolated double bond more readily, yielding allylic hydroperoxides (107) and (108). These products may react more slowly with lo2at the diene system to form lY4-endo-peroxides(109) and (110) respectively. From a study of (106) and other acyclic monoterpenes, D. H. R. Barton, R. K.

The reaction is stereospecific, as shown by the exclusive formation of (118d) from trans-l-propenylnaphthalene(117d) and only (1 18e) from the cis-isomer (1 17e). a-Substituents on the side-chain inhibit the 1,4-cycloaddition, and no endo-peroxide could be isolated. Instead, allylic hydroperoxides were found, no doubt arising from a normal ene-reaction of lo2 on the side-chain of the aromatic compound. For such (a-substituted-vinyl)naphthalenes, it seems possible that steric interactions with the naphthalene peri-hydrogen hinder a conformation in which the side-chain is coplanar with the naphthalene ring, and hence 1,4-attack by lo2 is prevented. Kondo and co-workers 164 have also examined the behaviour of 2-vinylthiophens (119) on photosensitized oxidation.

Again, endo-peroxides (120) are formed as a result of 1,4-attack of lo2on the aromatic and vinyl double bonds, However, in the case of the (a-substitutedviny1)thiophens (119f) and (119g), endu-peroxide formation does compete with production of allylic hydroperoxide. This observation, when compared with those described above for l-vinylnaphthalenes, becomes understandable in terms of a much reduced steric interaction between the substituted side-chain and the thiophen ring. Foote et alls6 have published a full account, with further examples, of their earlier work lB6on the formation of diepoxy-endo-peroxides (122) in the photooxidation of indene and substituted indenes (121) in acetone at -78 "C.

The products from lo2attack on l-phenylcycloalkenes depend upon the cycloalkene ring size.le8 l-Phenylcyclopentene yields only an allylic hydroperoxide, l-phenylcyclohexene gives a 3 : 1 mixture of allylic hydroperoxide and a double endo-peroxide, and 1-phenylcyclobutene gives a more complex mixture (Scheme 21), the composition of which is solvent-dependent. The authors claim that their results can be rationalized on the basis of the formation of three intermediates, perepoxide, dioxetan, and endo-peroxide.ls8 0

Naphthalene does not react with lo, to form a 1,4-endo-peroxide. Nevertheless, this endo-peroxide (126) is reasonably stable and has been produced indirectly by dye-sensitized photo-oxidation of the [l01annulene (124).ls0 Treatment of the resultant amine (125) with nitrosyl chloride leads to elimination of

N20 at low temperatures, and consequent production of (126). Gentle warming of the peroxide (126) quantitatively produces naphthalene and loa,rather than forming a 1,3-diepoxide.

Photo-oxidation of (127) in aromatic solvents leads to the known endo-peroxide, which is fairly stable at 20 "C,but photo-oxidation of (127) in carbon tetrachloride gives o-dibenzoylbenzene quantitatively.

In continuation of their studies on the dye-photosensitized oxidation of tertiary amines, French workers have reported the oxidation of alkaloids which contain an N-methyl heterocyclic ring, such as An iminium ion is apparently a general intermediate in the formation of products, and the transformation of iminium ion to enamine has been used in the synthesis of some indole alkaloids.184 Secondary and tertiary amines such as (130) undergo dyesensitized photo-oxidation with the production of nitroxyl radicals [e.g. (131)].lS6 I.

Singlet oxygen is implicated in this process, which occurs in low quantum yield (10-2-10-4) but high overall chemical yield. The direct photo-oxygenation of the aromatic amines p-phenylenediamine and NN-dimethylaniline has been noted.lsB The photo-oxygenation of p-phenylenediamine in cyclohexane leads to p-benzoquinonediimine (Q = 0.01) and 4,4'diaminoazobenzene (Q = 0.003), perhaps via a charge-transfer complex of singlet excited amine with oxygen.

The lactams are inert towards lo2,and evidence is put forward to support a hydrogen abstraction mechanism in which triplet benzophenone abstracts hydrogen specifically from the methylene group adjacent to the nitrogen atom. The radical produced then reacts with oxygen, eventually yielding (138). Lightner et al. have continued their series of publications on the dyesensitized photo-oxidation of pyrroles with studies of N-phenylpyrr~le,~~~ 2,3,5-trimethylpyrr0le,~~~ and t-butylpyrroles.201In each case it is believed that the initial steps are lo2attack via 1,4-addition to form an endo-peroxide and possibly 1,2-addition to form a dioxetan. The suggestion is made that the endo-peroxide may in part rearrange to dioxetan below room temperature (a rearrangement also observed for polyarylfulvenes 168). The thermally unstable endo-peroxides can in fact be observed by n.m.r. at ca. -80 "C in [2H6]acetone or Freon 11, and are precursors to the isolated photoproducts.201s202 There is continuing interest in the photochemistry of bilirubin, which is the pigment responsible for neonatal jaundice.

A zwitterionic intermediate would be in accord with calculations for lo2attack on electron-donating substituted 01efins.l~~ There have been several reports of the photo-oxidation of amino-acids. Riboflavin-sensitized photo-oxidation of methionine, which leads to several products, has been noted at various pH values.213 The photo-oxidation of methionine by 4-benzoylbenzoate ion 64 has already been discussed (see Section 1 and Scheme 10). The oxidation product, methional (MeSCH,CH,CHO), is formed in 100% yield at pH 7. Irradiation of flavin mononucleotide in the presence of sulphur-containing amino-acids causes deamination by a closely related mechanism.214 Electron abstraction by flavin mononucleotide from sulphur is followed by intramolecular electron transfer from carboxylate anion to the sulphur radical centre, which leads on to decarboxylation and deamination. Photo-oxidation of tryptophan produces N'-formylkynurenine, which may then act as a sensitizer for further photodynamic action, resulting in the degradation of proteins. The pathway by which N'-formylkynurenine acts as sensitizer of tryptophan degradation has been shown to involve partly lo2production and partly triplet-state hydrogen abstraction with consequent production of oxygen radical-anion (02'-)from ground-state oxygen.215 Adenine accelerates the lumiflavin-sensitizedphoto-oxidation of tryptophan, histidine, met hionine, and guanine, without altering the reaction products.216 The photosensitized oxidation of tyrosine derivatives in the presence of sodium alginate has been investigated.217,218 The photo-inactivation of enzymes is often a result of the specific photooxidation of certain amino-acid residues which they contain. Papain, for example, on methylene blue-sensitized photo-oxidation, loses one histidine residue and 220 Destruction of histidine residues is also reported to becomes be involved in the Rose Bengal-sensitized photo-oxidation of a-glucan phosphorylases,221rabbit haemopexin,222and the visible-light-induced photo212

6 Photoreactions of Corn pounds containing Heteroatoms other than Oxygen BY S. T. REID

1 Nitrogen-containing Compounds Rearrangement.-The mechanism of photoisomerization about the C-N double bond has been the subject of a number of separate investigations. Two different pathways have been proposed for the direct and triplet-sensitized syn-antiphotoisomerizations of the 4-nitrophenylhydrazones of benzaldehyde and certain of its p-substituted derivatives.l A twisted triplet intermediate is proposed for the sensitized process, whereas in the direct isomerization the reaction is said to occur either concurrently with or subsequent to internal conversion of electronic into vibrational energy. Evidence for two different pathways in an analogous study of the 4-nitrophenylhydrazone of pyridine-Zaldehyde has also been published.2 The syn-isomer undergoes complete conversion into the antiisomer on direct excitation, but a photoequilibrium between the two isomers is rapidly established in the triplet-sensitized process. Thermally reversible synanti-isomerization has been reported in the 2-phenylhydrazones of 1,2,3-triketones and related 1,2-diketone~,~ and an investigation of the mechanism of tripletstate photochemical isomerization of benzoylacetanilide and pyrazolone azomethine dyes has been de~cribed.~In the latter case, two pathways were distinguished, the first involving torsion about the azomethine bond and the second involving inversion at the nitrogen atom. Electron-donating substituents facilitate the torsion mechanism in contrast with electron-withdrawing substituents, which favour the inversion mechanism. cis-Azoalkanes, unlike the corresponding aryl azo-compounds, undergo photodecomposition with loss of nitrogen at room temperature. In an attempt to obtain stable cis-azoalkanes, the cis-isomers of the azo-compounds (1) derived from adamantane and norbornane were prepared by irradiation of the corresponding trans-isomers (2) in toluene at 0 oC.6 The cis-isomers reverted to the trans-isomers on heating without substantial competing loss of nitrogen.

Structural requirements for this isomerization have been deduced from an examination of a series of substituted salicylaldehyde 2-q~inolylhydrazones,~ and details of the kinetics and mechanism of the thermal decay of the coloured form have been published.s A photostationary equilibrium is rapidly established on irradiation of either of the isomeric 2-diethylamino-l,3-diphenylprop-2-en-l-ones (6) and (7) in diethyl ether.g The major products of prolonged irradiation are the dihydroisoquinoline (8) and a mixture of cis- and trans-chalcone (9); their formation can best be accounted for in terms of a Norrish Type I1 process involving the biradical species (10). Analogous photoreactions have been reported for other 2-dialkylamino-l,3-diphenylprop-2-en-l-ones, but deconjugation of the apunsaturated ketone appears to be preferred in cases where this is possible, as in a

The study of heterocyclic analogues of the stilbene -+ phenanthrene cyclization continues to attract some attention. Novel pyridocarbazoles have been obtained in the absence by the photocyclization of 1-/3-indolyl-2-pyridylacrylonitrile~;~~ of oxygen, pathways competing with dehydrogenation are sometimes observed.23 4-Methylsulphonylbenzo[c]cinnolines were prepared by photochemical cyclodehydrogenation of the corresponding 2-methylsulphonylazobenzenes in 98% sulphuric A novel route to the imidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline ring system has been accomplished by irradiation of cis-1-styrylimidazole (43) in methanol in the presence of iodine.25 Unlike the stilbene --f phenanthrene cyclization, an intermediate of the dihydrophenanthrene type is not possible in this case, and a dipolar species (44) has been proposed. Analogous cyclizations occur with substituted l-styrylimidazoles and with l-styrylbenzimidazole. The cyclization of 1-dimethylamino-2,2-bis-(9-fluorenylidenemethyl)ethyleneis followed by elimination of dimethylamineto give benzo[e]fl~oreno[9,1-kZ]acephenanthrylene.~~ Further synthetic applications of the photocyclization of enamides have been reported. Details of the preparation of alkylated benzophenanthridinones (45) in 50% yield by irradiation of the N-cyclohexenyl-l-naphthamides(46) have been published,27and similar cyclizations have been employed in the synthesis 21 22

The photochemical generation of nitrile ylides from 2H-azirines has been reviewed.34 These species are now widely used in synthetic chemistry and new applications continue to be reported.

2H-azirine (69) is the benzazepine (70). The preference for cyclization to a sevenmembered ring is a consequence of the proposed linear geometry of the dipolar intermediate.

The ylide derived from 2-phenyl-3-methyl-3-allylazirine(71) has a different fate; the major product of irradiation is the 2-azabicyclo[3,1,O]hex-Zene (72), and the reaction is viewed as an intramolecular 1,l-cycloaddition of the carbene (73) to the alkene.41 A more recent study provides support for a stepwise pathway for this addition,42 and similar additions have been reported in related sys As part of a continuing study of phototransposition in aromatic and heteroaromatic systems, the irradiation of 3-, 4-, and 5-methyl-2-cyanopyrroles in acetonitrile has been On the basis of product analysis the pathway outlined in Scheme 1, involving 2,5-bonding followed by a 1,3-sigrnatropic shift 41

detected spectroscopically at low temperature; the precise mechanism for the conversion of these intermediates into imidazoles (88) is at present uncertain, but it has been clearly demonstrated that the process is a monophotonic one and that pyrazoles are not intermediates. The products of irradiation of 2-isoxazolines have been described in an earlier Report and pathways postulated for their formation. Further work with substituted 2-isoxazolines has now been reported;62 product distribution appears to depend largely upon the nature of the substituents, with excitation of different chromophores being involved, but no definite conclusions can yet be drawn concerning the factors influencing this reaction.

In ~ ~ acetone solution, 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole was also formed. Two types of intermediate have been proposed,

namely imidazolinyl radicals (91) or (92) arising by hydrogen abstraction, or a biradical or zwitterionic species resulting from cleavage of the C-4-C-5 bond. Cleavage to the reactive nitrile oxide (93) also results from irradiation (300 nm) of benzofurazan (94);64the nitrile oxide can be trapped as the isoxazole (95) with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate.

The study of the photorearrangement of nitrones and N-oxides is one that has again consumed much effort, although little novelty can be attached to many of the reports. The photorearrangement of nitrones to oxaziridines is well documented; the first example of the reverse process, the rearrangement of oxaziridines to nitrones, has been reported and has been used to account for the racemization of certain chiral oxaziridines on irradiation (254nm) in dichloromethane.5B Oxaziridines (108) are postulated to be the primary products of irradiation of the oxoindolinylidenamine N-oxides (109) in benzene or THF, giving ring-expanded products (1 10) and (1 1 l), the deoxygenated products 0

Photochemistry has been studied as a function of pH.sK A decrease in the quantum yield of reaction for the protonated N-oxide is observed; this together with other supporting evidence suggests that photoisomerization occurs from the n,n* singlet state of the non-protonated molecule. Full details of the products derived from a series of acridine 10-oxides (118) have been published and the proposed pathway is outlined in Scheme 2.66 Irradiation is thought to afford the intermediate oxaziridine (119) in equilibrium with its valence isomer, the 1,2-oxazepine (120). The former is favoured in polar solvent, the latter in non-polar solvent. Products (121) and (122) are derived from (119), presumably by a process involving 1,5- or lY9-oxygenrearrangement, whereas products (123) to (126) are the results of further rearrangement of (120). Products (123) and (124) are not obtained when there is a C-9 substituent. Reactions originating from the state of isoquinoline N-oxide and from both the S, and TI states of acridine N-oxide have been observed on irradiation with green light (540 nm) of a benzene solution containing a suspension of alumina powder dyed with e o ~ i n . ~Electron ' transfer from the excited singlet eosin is implicated in this process. The photochemical and photophysical processes undergone in dilute ethanol solution by 2-benzoyl-3-phenylquinoxaline1,4-dioxide (127) have been studied.68 Direct irradiation (404 nm) yields only one photoproduct, 1,3-dibenzoylbenzimidazolone (128), formed monophotonically with 0 = 0.093.

The isolation of an oxadiaziridine has recently been accomplished in this way by irradiation of (2)-bis-( 1-methyl ethy1)diazene N-oxide (129).72 Cyclization was the major pathway, but was accompanied by

minor amounts of deoxygenation. Isomerization to the (E)-azoxyalkane was not observed in this case, but did occur in (2)-cyclohexylmethyldiazene l-oxide and in (2)-methylcyclohexyldiazine 1 -oxide in addition to ring closure.

Additional evidence that the o-nitrobenzaldehyde to o-nitrosobenzoic acid rearrangement occurs via an excited triplet state and that the rearrangement is intramolecular comes from a new study of the photoreaction in degassed THF.80 The quantum yield for product formation is 0.5 and is not significantly altered by change in the concentration of o-nitrobenzaldehyde. Radicals produced by irradiation of o-nitrobenzaldehyde in water or methanol were shown by e.s.r. studies to have an aryl nitroxide structure and are believed to arise from o-nitrosobenzoic acid.*l On irradiation, fully protected 2,3-, 3,4-,8a and 4,6-O-o-nitrobenzylidene glycopyranosides83 undergo rearrangement to the corresponding glycoside o-nitrosobenzoates, which are isolated as their oxidation products, the o-nitrobenzoates.

It has been experimentally demonstrated that oxygen transfer from the excited nitro-group is implicated in the ready photochemical cleavage of the amide bond in N-a~yl-8-nitrotetrahydroquinolines.~~ These amides and the related light-sensitive 1-acyl-7-nitroindolines87 may serve as useful protecting groups for the carboxyl function. An intramolecular hydrogen abstraction may also be involved in the photoreaction of methyl 1l-o-nitrophenoxyundecanoate, but the details of this process are by no means clear.88 A new reaction of nitro-compound has been found in certain o-nitrophenyl heterocycles.

,2] cycloadditions in nitrogen-containing heteroAddition.-The study of 2,[ cycles continues to arouse interest, particularly in systems which are related to constituents of nucleic acids. Irradiation (A > 280 nm) of uracil in aqueous acetone produces, together with the cyclobutane dimer, a uracil-acetone adduct identified as an oxetan.lo5 The process is reversed by irradiation (265 nm) of the oxetan in aqueous solution; acetone and uracil are obtained with a quantum efficiency of 0.16. The photodimerization of 1-cyclohexylthymine is completely quenched by the addition of cis-penta-l,3-diene, indicating that the dimerization occurs via an excited triplet sfate.lo6 9-Ethyladenine has been shown experimentally to quench the excited singlet state of l-cyclohexylthymine by formation of a hydrogen-bonded base pair exciplex. Ground and lowest excited singlet and triplet states have been calculated for thymine, uracil, and cytosine by the configuration-interaction method.lo7 The transition to the first excited state mostly affects the C-542-6 double bond and triplet excitation is almost exclusively localized there.

reaction is induced by photolytic decomposition of di-t-butyl peroxide (A > 290nm), and a radical mechanism involving hydrogen abstraction by excited uracil from THF is therefore proposed. The same process has been reported for certain N-substituted phthalimides in THF lZ7and a similar process for N-methylphthalimide in toluene, substituted toluenes, and dimethylamines.128 The photochemically induced addition of alcohols and cyclic ethers to polyazanaphthalene derivatives such as (196) has been described.lZg The addition is accelerated in the presence of acetone or acetophenone as sensitizer, but no dehydration of the product was observed as is often the case with pyridine and quinoline adducts. The photoalkylation of niketamide and its 2- and 4-isomers presumably proceeds by an analogous pathway.130 Evidence indicating that different mechanisms are involved in the photochemical substitution of sixmembered monoaza-aromatic compounds by methanol in neutral and in HCI acidified medium have been p~b1ished.l~~ Aryl imines undergo reduction and reductive dimerization on irradiation in propan-2-01. This reaction is now known not to involve excited imine, but to proceed via an a-amino-radical generated by hydrogen atom transfer to the imine from a ketyl radical; the ketyl radical is itself derived from carbonyl compounds present in starting material. Recent work with N-acyldiphenylketimines has led to the discovery that an excited state capable of hydrogen abstraction reactions is involved in the photoreduction laZand photoaddition reactions 133 of these species.

This problem has now been overcome and an improved route to aldosterone devised by the introduction of extended conjugation into the nitrite, resulting in an increase in the separation between C-19 and the llp-oxygen atom;146thus, on irradiation, the 11-nitrite of 1lfl-hydroxypregna-l,4-dien-3-one(208) affords 0H.

A process and a reactor for the photo-oximation of cycloalkanes using a gaseous nitrosating agent such as nitrosyl chloride have been described in the patent 1 i t e r a t ~ r e . lThe ~ ~ photochemical nitrosation of chlorocyclododecane with nitrosyl chloride affords syn- and anti-isomers of a-chlorocyclododecanone oxime together with dichlorocyclododecane, chloronitrocyclododecane, chlorocyclododecyl nitrate, and chlorocyclododecanone.lsl Abstracts reporting the analogous nitrosations of cyclododecane 152 and cyclo-octane 153 have been published, but details are not available. New reports provide additional evidence that carbon-nitrogen bond cleavage is the major pathway in the photochemistry of nitrosoalkanes. Substituted hydroxylamines are the major products of irradiation of 2-nitrosoisobutyronitrile and 1-nitrosocyclohexanecarbonitrile with red light (570-700 nm) and appear An identical homolysis to be derived exclusively by C-N bond hom01ysis.~~~ is involved in the preparation of gem-chlorobromo-compounds by photolysis of the corresponding gem-chloronitroso-derivatives in the presence of excess bromine,166and contrary to earlier reports the photo-oxidation of nitrosoalkanes is now claimed to involve the same primary homolytic process.166 The NO group also appears to be removed photochemically from N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine without oxygen parti~ipati0n.l~~ Nitrogen-nitrogen bond homolysis has been proposed to account for the formation of piperidine and N-formylpiperidine from N-nitropiperidine on irradiation in methanol.ls8 The details of this process are by no means clear, and indeed other workers have failed to observe homolysis of this type. In the presence of HCl and cyclohexene, however, addition of N-nitropiperidine occurs via the piperidinylium radical to give 2-nitro- and 2-methoxy-1-piperidinocyclohexanes. A complex series of reactions has been described for the irradiation of nitroethane in c y c l o h e ~ a n e and , ~ ~ ~attempts to rationalize the sequence have been complicated by further reaction of the photoproducts. trans-Azocyclohexane di-N-oxide (210) is the major product of irradiation (254 nm) of nitroethane in cyclohexane; it is further converted into hydroxyiminocyclohexane (21 1) and N-cyclohexylcaprolactam (212) by irradiation ( A > 290nm and X > 250nm respectively). The formation of nitrosocyclohexane appears to preclude the possibility of a direct photochemically induced deoxygenation of the nitroalkane and requires that, even in solution, all major products of the irradiation of nitroalkanes arise by an initial C-N homolytic bond cleavage.

2 Sulphur-containing Compounds Certain aspects of the photochemistry of organic sulphur compounds have been reviewed.174 Interest in the study of photorearrangement reactions in sulphurcontaining compounds has been maintained. The stable Z-form of a-(thiopyran2-ylidene) ketone (223) is transformed into the E-isomer (224) on irradiation;175

the photoproduct reverts to starting material by a dark process which obeys first-order kinetics. Z-Methyl thiobenzohydroximates are photochemically converted into their thermally stable E - i ~ o m e r s and , ~ ~ ~an equilibrium mixture of stereoisomers (225) and (226) is obtained on irradiation of the sulphone (225).17' Irradiation of 3-phenyl-2H-thiopyran 1, l-dioxide (227) in methanol yields a mixture of adducts (228) and (229).17* Isolation of the latter provides convincing evidence that the cyclic sulphone does not require the incorporation of an

atom bearing a free electron pair for ring-opening to occur, and therefore argues in favour of a mechanism involving cycloreversion to the sulphene (230). Full details of the 'Dewar' thiophen structure (231) of the photoproduct of 2,3,4,537s

been shown to be dependent on the molecular environment of the reactant.ls4 1,2-Dithiolyl radicals and dithioketonate anions are the initial products of irradiation of a series of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2-dithiolylium salts in ethanol,lss and irradiation of diary1 sulphides in cyclohexane in the presence of iodine affords dibenzothiophens.166 The synthesis of medium- to large-ring azathiocyclols has been achieved by an unusually regioselective remote photocyclization of sulphide-containing phthalimides.ls7 For example, the phthalimides (238) are converted on irradiation in acetone into a mixture of nine-membered (239) and seven-membered (240) ring compounds. This reaction can surprisingly be extended to even larger rings, and a special mechanism must therefore be implicated in which the sulphur atom facilitates the formation of the macrocyclic transition state; a tentative explanation involving enhanced proton transfer from the methylmercapto-group in a chargetransfer complex has been advanced. The corresponding O-methyl derivatives fail to undergo the same cyclization. One direct application of this cyclization has been the construction of a cyclic peptide Polycyclic aromatic thiones (241) having a freeperi-position cyclize, on excitation in the n -+ T band, to give thiophen derivatives (242).189 At least in one case, the formal 1,3-hydrogen lE3 18(

migration has been shown to be intermolecular. In contrast, arylalkyl thiones (243) having an activated p-position undergo cyclization to cyclopropanethiols (244) on n + ~ T T * excitation.lao The reason for the difference in behaviour between thiones and the corresponding ketones which do not undergo cyclization is not clear; a simple rationalization is that the greater size of the n 3p orbital makes hydrogen abstraction easier. p-Hydrogen abstraction is also observed in substituted thiochromanone sulphoxides, but the major reaction pathway involves rearrangement to the cyclic sulphenate.lQ1 This rearrangement is formally analogous to the formation of oxacarbenes from ketones, but the photochemistry is made more complex by further cleavage of the weak 0 - S bond. The disulphide (245) is the only product of irradiation of the sulphoxide (246) and is believed to be formed via the sulphenate (247) as shown in Scheme 10.

Adamantanethione, however, on irradiation (500 nm) gives the n,n* triplet efficiently; this species undergoes addition to alkenes to give thietans in a regiospecific manner and to adamantanethione to give a dimer, the 1,3-dithietan.lDs The regiospecificity in thietan formation is that expected from the most stable biradical; prior formation of a triplet exciplex may be involved.

This chapter is principally concerned with the photochemically induced fragmentation of organic molecules accompanied by the formation of small molecules such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and sulphur dioxide. Photodecompositions resulting in the formation of two or more sizeable fragments are reviewed in the final section. Fragmentations arising by Norrish Type I and Type I1 reactions of carbonyl-containing compounds are considered in Part 111, Chapter 1. 1 Photodecomposition of Azo-compounds The photolysis of azoalkanes provides a convenient route for the generation and subsequent study of alkyl radicals; the most important competing process is trans-cis-isomerization. A low-field CIDNP study of ethane formed by photolysis of azomethane in carbon tetrachloride solution indicates that the photodecomposition occurs predominantly from the singlet state.l Examination of the Stern-Volmer plot of the nitrogen quantum yield for the photolysis (366 nm) of azoisopropane in the gas phase over an extended pressure and temperature range led to the conclusion that decomposition occurred via vibrationaIly excited upper singlet and triplet states with the onset of dissociation of the vibrationally equilibrated triplet state as the temperature is increased.a The phenyldiazenyl radical PhN2*has been established as an intermediate in the decomposition of arylazoalkanes. A recent study of the photolysis of the labelled azo-compound (1) clearly demonstrates that phenyl migration in the /

504 Photochemistry of nitrogen from methyldi-imide, MeN=NH, proceeds via a radical chain mechani~m.~ The study of the photoelimination of nitrogen from 1-pyrazolines continues to offer a unique opportunity to examine the mechanism of these photodecompositions, and also provides a useful synthetic route to cyclopropanes. Irradiation of the 1-pyrazoline(3) in diethyl ether affords ( - )-cyclocopacamphane (4) in 92% yield.s The pyrazoline diester ( 5 ) is similarly converted into the

In support of this, e.s.r. spectral evidence for the formation of the cyclopenta-l,3-diyl radical on irradiation of 2,3-diazabicyclo[2,2,l]hept-2-ene in a cyclohexane matrix at 5.5 K has now been described.8 Over 95% retention of configuration is observed in the photoelimination of nitrogen from the chiral 1-pyrazoline (8).g This is in agreement with the intervention of a short-lived singlet biradical with little zwitterionic character.

the direct photodecomposition of four new em-double pyrazolines prepared from norbornadiene and dimethyl phenyldiazornethylphosph~nate.~~ Benzophenonesensitized photodecomposition leads to an intractable mixture of isomeric biscyclopropanes. The photodecomposition of diazobicyclohexane (21), however, takes a different course and results in the formation of the diazo-compound (22), characterized spectroscopically.l6 Further irradiation of this intermediate affords the bicyclo[l,l,O]butane (23), presumably via the carbene. Pyrazoles readily eliminate nitrogen on irradiation to yield the corresponding cyclopropenes. In this way, the first example of a [ 2 ~ , 6 nspirene ] (24)has been

prepared by irradiation of the pyrazole (25).17 The first spirocyclopropabenzenes (26) have also been prepared by photodecomposition of the pyrazoles (27) at - 20 OC.18 These products can be expected to be even less stable than previously reported cyclopropabenzenes and do in fact readily rearrange on heating to the cycloheptenes (28). Photodecomposition of pyrazole (29) yields small amounts of the indenes (30; R1 = Me, R2 = C0,Me; R1 = CO,Me, R2 = Me) together with the cyclopropene (31).le Photoelimination of nitrogen from triazolines has again been used in the synthesis of aziridines.

2 Elimination of Nitrogen from Diazo-compounds Photoelimination of nitrogen from diazo-compounds provides a simple and versatile route for the generation of carbenes. The formation of triplet carbenes by photolysis and thermolysis of diazo-compounds has been ~eviewed.~' The gas-phase photolysis of diazo-n-butane has been studied at various pressures and with added gases.28 Vibrationally excited but-1-ene and methylcyclopropane are formed via singlet carbene. The photodecomposition of diazoanthrone leads to two species of anthranylidene having different spin states;29these two states are directly interconvertible. Irradiations carried out in benzene, toluene, cyclohexene, cyclohexane, and hexafluorobenzene in the presence and absence of triphenylphosphine demonstrate that the triplet state has the ability to abstract hydrogen atoms selectively whereas the singlet state interacts with nucleophilic centres such as the terminal nitrogen atom of the diazo-group. Triplet vinylmethylene, generated by triplet-photosensitized decomposition of diazopropene, also readily participates in hydrogen abstraction reactions.30 Irradiation in cyclohexane, for example, yields allylcyclohexane by a radical pair mechanism. Studies with cyclohexene, however, have cast doubt on the view that addition is the preferred mode of reaction of triplet carbenes with alkenes. The major product of reaction of triplet vinylmethylene with cyclohexene is 3-allylcyclohex-l-ene, formed presumably by hydrogen abstraction and coupling I4 26

in The yield of dimethyl malonate increases with the hydrogendonating ability of the alcohol, and it is the only major product in the corresponding benzophenone-photosensitized decomposition.

Analogous transformations in cyclic diazoketones result in ring contraction. Thus, irradiation of 2-diazo[1-13C]naphthalenl(2H)-one (68) in dioxan-water leads to the formation of the labelled carboxylic acid (69).40 The absence of any isotope scrambling in this and closely related transformations excludes the possibility of an oxiren intermediate, a species frequently proposed in the decomposition of other diazo-ketones.

Irradiation of 3-diazobenzofuranone (70) at low temperature yields two primary products, the keten (71) and the ring-opened product (72).42 These products can be photochemically interconverted, and the keten undergoes further photodecomposition with short-wavelength light to give benzyne (73), presumably

J via the carbene (74). 3-Diazobenzofuranone is therefore an ideal precursor for the preparation of matrix-isolated benzyne. The formation of the keten is easily viewed as the result of a Wolff rearrangement, whereas the formation of (72) probably involves a concerted ring cleavage in the intermediate carbene. Identical interconversions have been reported in 2-diazoindan-1-one, and the first synthesis of the 2I~-l-thiacyclobutabenzenesystem has been accomplished by irradiation of the thia-analogue (75).43 The aza-analogues (76) behave quite differently and provide the first example of reversible photochromic valence isomerization between diazo-compounds and diazirine~.~* Although a-oxocarbenes are known to undergo addition reactions with alkenes, the addition of such a species to an aromatic system is so far unrecorded. 42

photolysis of the o-diazo-oxide (82).47 This reaction is a significant improvement over the previously reported synthesis in which the final cyclization is accomplished by photoelimination of HBr from ( k )-8-bromo-N-methylcoclaurine. 3 Elimination of Nitrogen from Azides The photoreactions of azides can almost without exception be rationalized in terms of an intermediate nitrene, and the decomposition provides an easy and efficient method for the generation of these species. The reactions of photochemically generated nitrenes have been reviewed.48 Photolysis of aromatic azides is claimed to produce nitrenes primarily in the singlet state; the lifetimes formed by photoof these nitrenes have been d e t e ~ m i n e d . 1-Pyrenylnitrene, ~~ decomposition of 1-azidopyrene,reacts to give 1-aminopyrene and 1,l ’-azopyrene in degassed methanol, whereas only 1,l’-azopyrene is formed in benzene.50 The quantity of 1-aminopyrene formed was measured and was used to calculate rate constants for hydrogen abstraction by 1-pyrenylnitrene from a wide variety of solvents. Hydrogen abstraction does not occur from benzene. When phenol was present in the degassed benzene solution, N-( 1-pyreny1)-p-benzoquinonemonoimine was formed in addition to the other products. Photoelimination of nitrogen from azidoacetonitrile (83) at - 196 “C gave formimidoyl cyanide (84), undoubtedly via the nitrene, and on further irradiation this was converted into

formimidoyl isocyanide (85).51 The mechanism for this cyanide to isocyanide rearrangement has been the subject of much discussion, and a three-membered ‘zwitterionic’ azirinimine intermediate is now suggested. 9-Azidotriptycenes (86), on irradiation in methanol, are converted into the azahomotriptycenes (87) which can be regarded as solvent adducts of the unstable imines (88).52 Irradiation in cyclohexane affords imine dimers. The formation of imine is presumably the result of a 1,2-aryl migration in the nitrene. The parallel photochemical behaviour of such diverse bridgehead azides as 1-azidoadamantane and 9-azidotriptycene indicates that solvation effects do not play a decisive role in this reaction and that bridgehead azides can in general be regarded as simple precursors of highly strained bridgehead imines. Products arising by 1,2-hydrogen transfer and 1 ,2-alkyl migration in nitrene intermediates were formed by photolysis of a variety of 3-, 6-, 17-, and 20-steroidal a z i d e ~ In . ~ only ~ one case, that of 6P-azido-5a-pregnane (89), was pyrrolidine formation observed and then in only 6% yield.

involving cyclization with simultaneous loss of nitrogen is the most likely pathway for this reaction, but the possibility of an unstable intermediate 1,2,3-4Htriazole must still be considered. l-Azirine intermediates have been proposed to account for a variety of photoreactions of unsaturated and aryl azides.

518 Photochemistry formation in phenyl azide. Following many failures, this ring-expansion process has now been extended to azido-naphthalenes and -anthracenes, but only in the presence of concentrated potassium methoxide in Thus, irradiation followed by gentle heating under reflux of 2-azidoanthracene (103) affords a nearly quantitative yield of 3-methoxy- 1H-napht ho [2,3-c]azepine (104), whereas irradiation followed by immediate neutralization affords 1-amino-2-methoxyanthracene (105). These results are easily rationalized in terms of an unstable methoxyaziridine (106). Ring expansion to 8H-thieno[2,3-c]azepines has been observed in 6-azidobenzo[b]thiophensbut not in the corresponding 4- or S-azidoderivatives.69 Substituted carbomoyl azides have been found to undergo a photo-Curtius rearrangement to give aminoisocyanates;60these can be trapped by nucleophiles.

nitrenes on photolysis in benzene, cyclohexene, and cyclohexane were unsuccessful. The reasons for the difference in behaviour between these carbamoyl azides and diarylcarbamoyl azides (which afford relatively stable nitrenes in aprotic solvents) are not clear. NN-Dimethylaminoisocyanate (109) was detected spectroscopically on neon-matrix-isolated photolysis of dimethylcarbamoyl azide (1 10). Doubts have been raised concerning the proposal that triplet biphenylnitrene is the sole carbazole precursor in the photocyclization of 2-a~idobiphenyl.~~ A difference in rate constants for the formation of carbazole and for the disappearance of a short-lived intermediate absorbing at X 360nm was observed, suggesting that two separate processes are involved in the formation of carbazole. Photolysis of a series of pyrazole azides (1 11; R = 5-C1,4-CF8, or 5-NMe2)in the presence of acetophenone gave products (112) and (113) derived solely from triplet nitrene.62 These were also formed on direct irradiation, but the ylides (114) were also obtained by what appears to be a singlet-derived process. The electrophilic character of singlet nitrene is further demonstrated by its facility I*

The tetraene, which is rapidly converted into the dimer (126), can be trapped as an adduct with cyclopentadiene. A carbene-carbene rearrangement is observed on low-temperature photodecomposition of the tosylhydrazone salt (127) to give as final product the fulvalene (128).74 This constitutes the first reported example of a low-temperature rearrangement of an arylcarbene to an aromatic carbene, and, by analogy with other carbene-carbene rearrangements in solution, an intermediate cyclopropene (129) is proposed. Unexpectedly, the tosylhydrazone of 4-hydroxy-endo-tricyclo[4,2,102~6]non-7-en-3-one (130) underwent photodecomposition involving retroaldol cleavage exclusively on irradiation in methanol containing sodium methoxide to yield the ethers (131) and (132).75 The corresponding 4-methoxy-derivatives gave the ring-contracted product expected from the carbene.

Intramolecular electrophilic addition of carbenes to sulphur has been observed in photochemically generated j?-arylthioalkyl carbenes, leading to the formation of products derived from novel thietanonium ylides.?' Further evidence for the intervention of thietanonium ylides comes from a study of the photodecomposition of tosyl salts (139) as illustrated in Scheme 3.

7 Miscellaneous Decomposition and Elimination Reactions Fragmentation and elimination reactions which cannot be included in any of the above categories are briefly reviewed in this section. It has not proved possible to classify these processes, although analogous reactions are grouped together. A common intermediate is proposed in the sensitized photodecomposition of benzylamine with a variety of sensitizers.126 A novel photochemical N-demethylation has been observed in cocaine and related bicyclic amines;126 the reaction appears to be intermolecular in character. Photochemical N-aryl bond cleavage is less common than N-alkyl bond cleavage. The photolysis of alkylated 0- and p-phenylenediamine derivatives in acidic methanol, however, has been reported to lead via homolytic bond cleavage to the corresponding aniline.12’ Photochemically induced C-0 bond homolysis in alkyl ethers has

Photoinitiation of Addition Polymerization.-A thorough review of the chemistry involved in the widely used aromatic carbonyl-type photoinitiators has been presented by an authority in this field.3 A review of novel photoinitiators of the metal carbonyl type, such as [Mn,(CO),,], [Re,(CO),,], etc., has appeared:, the rhenium compound is the best for polymerization of fluoro-olefins, facilitating the formation of block copolymers.6 The Lewis acids VCI,, TiCl,, TiBr,, SnCl,, and AIBr, photoinitiate radical-cation polymerization of isobutylene with excitation in the 400-480 nm region.s Charge-transfer complex formation between monomer and metal compound prior to excitation is implicated. Vinyl polymerization by iron(~~~)-salt-saccharide,~ iron(r~~)-amine-CCI,,~and poly(viny1amine)-copper(r1) O a systems has been reported. Vanadium(v) and platinum(r1) chelates have also been used to initiate addition polymerization.9b Complexes of molecular chlorine with vinyl monomers such as methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate, styrene, and methyl acrylate upon photoexcitation exhibit initiation of polymerization with efficiencies of monomers increasing in the order shown.lo Benzoin-pyridine and CCl, l1 and 1,1,l-trichloro-3-phenylpropanel2 have been used to initiate 1

A laser flash photolysis study of the interaction of triplet benzophenone with the monomers styrene ( S ) , methyl methacrylate (MMA), acrylonitrile (AN), vinyl acetate (VA), and the solvent THF gave measured second-order rate constants of 3.3 x lo8, 6.9 x lo7, 3.4 x lo7, 5.4 x lo6, and 3 x lo61 mol-1 s-l re~pectively.~~ The rate constant for styrene is so high (presumably because of efficient exothermic energy transfer) that benzophenone is an inefficient photoinitiator for this monomer in THF. The reaction of ketyl radicals with VA, AN, and MMA had rate constants of 5.5 x lo3, 3.8 x lo3, and 9.0 x lo3 I mol-1 s-l respectively, meaning that pinacol is not a major reaction product when monomer concentrations are less than 1 mol I-1 and incident light intensities are low. The benzophenone-amine initiator 33 and alkyl aryl benzoin ether,36 disulphide~,~~ and peroxidic initiators 37 have been discussed. In the last study, luminescence in MMA polymerization was observed. Photopolymerization in the presence of pigments 38 has been discussed, and many useful references on technological applications will be found in ref. 39.

The use of fluorescence depolarization in this manner limits the range of environments for study owing to the short duration of this luminescence.

Photochemistry media if the longer-lived phosphorescence is used as the probe, and such studies on the MS time-scale have recently been reported on PVA, PEMA, PS, poly(buty1 methacrylate), and PMMA,74using benzophenone and anthrone as probes. Energy migration may also contribute to fluorescence depolarization, and phosphorescence studies on copolymers of vinylbenzophenone and styrene and fluorescence studies on S-MMA, S-MA, and 1-vinylnaphthalene-MMA copolymers show that this does not occur in copolymers containing less than a few mole per cent of the luminescent comonomer, but increases (i.e. p-l, where p is the polarization, increases) linearly with the percentage of fluorophore up to 50-65%.76 At very high levels of fluorescent comonomer, fluorescence depolarization is complete. A comparison has been made of fluorescence, birefringence, and X-ray methods to study molecular orientation in poly(ethy1ene terephthalate) (PET) drawn fibres, and it was shown that use of 4,4’-dibenzoxazolylstilbene as a fluorescent probe provides a method capable of characterizing quantitatively the distribution of chain orientations only in the non-crystalline regions of semi-crystalline polymers, since fluorescent molecules are excluded from crystalline regions.76 It was further shown that PET behaves as a rubber with 5.6 freely jointed links between cross-link points. Polymer conformation through monitoring of magnetic field modulation of delayed fluorescence 7 7 and the use of oriented polymer films to determine optical transition moment directions in solute molecules 78 have been discussed. Relaxation processes near the glass transition temperature (T,)in polymers by means of excimer fluorescence 79 and the effects of tacticity on excimer formation in poly-(p-methylstyrene) 8o have been reported. Exciplex formation in poly(vinylnaphthalene) and poly(acenaphtha1ene) has been studied and compared with the model compounds ethylnaphthalene and acenaphthalene.sl In one series of experiments, the aromatic models and polymers were electron acceptors, with diethylaniline as donor, and in another the same aromatic molecules were used as electron donors with dicyanoanthracene as acceptor. In these latter experiments no exciplex emission from the aromatic polymers was observed. There have been several other reports of luminescence in polymers. In one, the distribution of localized electronic states in atactic poly(styrene) was discussed,82and in another the fluorescence of styrene as a model for lignin compounds was c ~ n s i d e r e d . The ~ ~ luminescence of the amide chromophore in poly(amides) such as Nylon 66 is still a matter of controversy. Strong emission in commercial samples of the polyamide has been attributed to ap-unsaturated carbonyls arising from aldol condensation reactions, and upon prolonged irradiation this type of emission disappears, implicating such species in photo-oxidation mechanism^.^^ One recent report, however, suggests that the amide chromophore 546

E-Type delayed fluorescence of 1,l’-diacronyl in a plastic matrix g5 and the behaviour of fluorescent molecules in a polymerizing medium 96 have been investigated. There have been many studies on poly-(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVCZ) and related photoconducting polymers. MO calculations on the electronic structure of PVCZ 9 7 and energy migration in the solid state in this polymer 98-100 have been reported. In PVCZ, poly-(N-ethyl-2-vinyIcarbazole),and poly-(N-ethyl-3-vinyIcarbazole),lol an intrachain excimer fluorescence some 5400 cm-l to the red of the monomer 0-0 band is seen, but PVCZ is unique in exhibiting a second, higher-energy excimer band in addition. Results show that the geometrical arrangement required for this higher-energy band exists in the gound state of the polymer. Excimer formation in PVCZ in solution has also been studied,lo2and triplet energy migration and delayed luminescence in the species have been investigated.lo3 Excimer formation appears to require pendant carbazole groups on adjacent chromophores separated by three carbon atoms.lo2 Charge-transfer complexes of PVCZ and related polymers of the types (3) and (4) have been widely studied because of their p h o t o c ~ n d ~ ~ t i ~ i tTyYPe . ~ ~(3)~ - ~ ~ ~ was found to be a very inefficient photoconductor, probably owing to the poor electron-donor character and short lifetime of singlet excitons in the presence of R.

Wool. In a thorough study on the triplet state of tryptophan in the solid environments of poly(viny1 alcohol) (PVAL) film and in the wool protein keratin, it has been concluded that triplet-triplet interactions play a major role in the deactivation of this species in PVAL films, whereas in wool keratin in the presence of air the major loss mechanism appears to involve interaction of triplet tryptophan with oxygen.182 The effects of metal ions18S and of 2-pyrazoline-type fluorescent whitening agents lE4on the photo-yellowing of wool have been discussed. Photodegradable Polymers. Photodegradable vinyl lE6 poly(ethy1ene),lE7and a degradable polymer containing a pyrazine moiety 188 (10) have been reported.

Part V PHOTOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF SOLAR ENERGY CONVERSION By

M. D. ARCHER

1 General Reviews Of the many general articles and reviews that have appeared this year on solar energy utilization, the following may be of particular interest to chemists. Two books,l$ both of which include sections on photobiological and photochemical solar energy conversion, have appeared. A series of seven review articles, covering all aspects of solar energy, has been published in the Bulletin of the Atomic S ~ i e n t i s t s : ~the - ~ articles on photochemistry,6 photovoltaics,s and photosynthesis are useful general introductions. Brinkworth lo has also provided a general discussion. An interesting review of the application of thin films and coatings to solar energy utilization l1 covers reflector films, antireflection coatings, and selectively absorbing coatings, as well as thin films in photovoltaic devices. Stein l2has reviewed the chemical storage of solar energy and photochemical fuel formation, concentrating particufarly on hydrogen formation by irradiation of aqueous solutions of Fe2+ and Eu3+. Simple thermal decomposition reactions for the storage of solar energy have also been discussed,13and ten criteria for a suitable reaction proposed. The thermal decomposition of ammonium hydrogen sulphate at ca. 500 “C seems to be the most promising: NH4HS04

Finally, direct conversion methods have been generally reviewed at some length by Porter and Archer,14with emphasis on the similarity of the general principles that underlie superficially diverse devices.

However, the catalysts tend to decompose. Photochemical heat storage by a reaction of this type has been compared18 with a conventional hot water solar energy system. Conversion efficiency,

energy storage capacity, and life-cycle costs were the primary bases of comparison. Among the potential advantages of photochemical systems that this research identified were effectiveness on cloudy days, a smaller storage tank, and uniform energy levels in the stored fluid, irrespective of season. Other conclusions are summarized in Figure 1, which is a plot of the specific energy capacity and overall energy storage efficiency required of a photochemical system to match the winter operation of a hot water thermal system. The area to the upper right of these curves represents conditions where a photochemical system will have the advantages of lower cost or better performance. The curves in Figure 1 indicate that in developing a photochemical fluid to be competitive with a hot water thermal system, chemical efficiency can be traded off against energy storage capability, to some extent. However, there are limits. Even with the highest reasonable storage capacity, a minimum energy storage efficiency of 0.2 is necessary, and even with very high efficiency, a minimum thermal capacity of about 150 J g-l is necessary. The latter condition is not unduly hard to meet, but the first certainly is. Photochemical Decomposition of Water.-The production of hydrogen by photoassisted electrolysis is described in Section 3, and production by photosynthetic organisms in Section 5. The review paper by Balzani et al. on photochemical formation of hydrogen from water by the use of transition metal complexes (see Vol. 7, p. 564) has now appeared in a more accessible journa1.l' A preliminary report by Whitten and co-workers on the photochemistry of monolayer-bound complexes of ruthenium(I1) adjacent to an aqueous phase has aroused great interest this year. Two surfactant analogues of tris-(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II)Z+, (3) and (4), were prepared as monolayer assemblies on glass

slides (either hydrophilic or hydrophobic). The luminescence from these monolayers was observed to be almost entirely quenched on immersion in water. On irradiation through Pyrex with a 100 W medium pressure mercury lamp, a steady production of hydrogen and oxygen was observed over a period of several days with a reported quantum yield of ca. 0.1. This finding, if confirmed by subsequent work, is indeed remarkable. It may be tentatively explained in the following way : the parent compound tris-(2,2'bipyridyl)ruthenium(II)2+has a luminescent triplet charge-transfer excited state, which is quenched by oxidizing species such as iron(w) through an electrontransfer mechanism, although no permanent products result. The excited state has an energy of ca. 180 kJmol-l, thermodynamically more than enough to dissociate water to hydrogen and oxygen, which requires 118 kJ per mol electrons. The fact that the parent ion has no photochemistry in aqueous solution, whereas similar ruthenium(I1) complexes are apparently reactive in monolayer assemblies, might be due either to a lowering of the barrier for electron transfer to solvent in the assembly or to the provision in the assembly of a barrier to the geminate recombination of H* and Ru"', so that the latter is able to oxidize water in a normal thermal process. (Why the monolayer is apparently unaffected by the adsorbed He and OH* is not known.) This hypothesis gains some support from a separate study l9 of the effect of ligand and solvent deuteriation on the properties of the charge-transfer state of tris-(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(11)~+ in aqueous solution, which suggests that transient electron transfer to the solvent (rather than to the ligand) does occur even in homogeneous solution. There has been some interest20-22in hydrogen production from water by thermochemical cycles, and a hybrid thermochemical water splitting cycle, using solar energy to drive one stage of the process, reaction (l), has been examined.23 2Fe2+

The quantum yield of Br, at 436 nm is ca. 0.001 initially, but it falls as Fe*+ accumulates. 3 Photoelectrochemistry Photogalvanic Effects and Cells.-Clark and Eckert’s data on a thin-layer ironthionine cell, reported last year, have now appeared in a more accessible Creutz and Sutin 28 have suggested a photoelectrochemical solar energy storage system in which irradiation of an alkaline aqueous solution of tris-(2,2’-bipyridyl)ruthenium(rI)2+produces the 3CT state. This injects an electron into an n-type semiconductor anode and is regenerated in the bivalent state by the oxidation of water. At the metallic counter-electrode, hydrogen is evolved by the reduction of water. [Ru(bipy),12+in acid solution has been shown to behave rather differentl~.~~ Cathodic, rather than anodic, photocurrents are observed at a platinum or SnO, electrode on irradiation of a ca. lo-, M solution in O.5M-H,SO,. Limiting currents of the order of 1 pAcm-* were observed, corresponding to a quantum yield of current of 0.005 at 470 nm. The photocurrent was enhanced by methyl viologen or oxygen, which quench the 3CT state of [Ru(bipy),12+ oxidatively. The cathodic photocurrent is due to the reduction of [Ru(bipy),I3+ at the illuminated electrode. The cell 3.1 x 10-2M-Ru(bipy)3Cl,,

produced a short-circuit current of 13 pA cm-a on irradiation, the anodic process being oxygen evolution. Lin and Sutin have reported substantial photogalvanic effects in a cell based on the reversible photo-oxidation of [Ru(bipy),12+ by Fe3+. The observed photopotentials AE (i.e. the change in potential of a platinum electrode on irradiation of the solution) are summarized in Table 1. The observed photopotentials are all positive, showing that the Ru couple acts more reversibly at the electrode than the Fe couple, which may be partially suppressed by adsorbed bipyridine complexes.

Photochemical Aspects of Solar Energy Conversion

577 The discharge behaviour of redox thermogalvanic cells has been investigated both theoretically and e~perimentally.~~ The analogy with photogalvanic cells is quite close, particularly in that mass transfer polarization is the major factor limiting power output. A combined photo/thermogalvanic cell : (80 "c)n-TiO, I F ~ ( C N ) G ~ Fe(CN)e4-, I Pt (30 "c) illuminated dark anode cathode

is proposed. The cell voltage in the absence of illumination is some tens of millivolts and is due to the Soret effect. Under illumination, a substantial photogalvanic effect would be superimposed. Semiconductor Electrodes.-Nozik general type

Photochemistry

Titanium Dioxide Electrodes. The photoelectrolysis of water using n-TiO, electrodes continues to attract much interest, although the process is now reasonably well understood. Nozik 39 studied single crystals (with the c axis in the wafer plane) over a wide range of light intensities and obtained the currentvoltage characteristics shown in Figure 3 for the cell n-Ti02 I 1 N phosphate buffer I platinized Pt

Electrode potential (against SCE)(V) Figure 3 Electrode potentials vs. SCE of TiO, (-) and Pt (- - -) as a function of light intensity: 1.0 N phosphate bufer (pH = 6.5).

The arrows indicate reversible hydrogen and oxygen evolution potentials (Reproduced by permission from Nature, 1975, 257, 383)

These data corroborate what other studies have established, namely that the range of working potential of the TiO, electrode in such a cell is well below that required for the attainment of limiting currents at this electrode. Carey and Oliver 40 also examined intensity effects at TiOa electrodes. They found that the current efficiency decreased in a pH-dependent manner as the light intensity increased. This is to be expected if the hole-electron recombination rate in the crystal is the major factor limiting the photocurrents. Below 12 mW cm-2, they found the usual linear behaviour. A. J.

Two other papers reporting the usual effects on Ti02 single crystals have appeared 4 2 and three more on Ti02 polycrystalline or amorphous films, formed either electrochemically 4 3 ~44 or thermally.43,45, 46 Honda and coworkers 43 have reported the operation under sunlight of a modular unit containing 20 cells, which had a mean daily conversion efficiency of ca. 0.4%. However, the anolyte was 1M-NaOH and the catholyte 0.5M-H2S04,which increases the ‘efficiency’at the expense of consuming alkali and acid. The role of surface states in photoelectrochemical processes at Ti02 is of interest. Three distinct surface phases have been observed in TiO, crystals subjected to argon ion bombardment ,47 Electrochemical properties of singlecrystal Ti02 (in the dark) have been thoroughly investigated by means of impedence, current, and potential mea~urements.~~ Other Semiconducting Oxide Electrodes. Strontium titanate electrodes have been shown in three independent studies49-61to be superior to Ti02 itself in that the current quantum efficiency (electrons flowing per photon absorbed) is about an order of magnitude higher at zero bias voltage in a working photoelectrochemical cell than for Ti02. Thus, irradiation of the semiconductor electrode in the cell 41s

SrTiO, ] 9.5M-NaOH ] Pt

drove the electrolysis of water photocatalytically without any external bias at X < 390nm (the band gap of SrTiO, is 3.2eV).60 The stability of the photoelectrode was confirmed by experiments carried out on 180-labelledH,O and by the lack of weight loss in the electrode on prolonged use.6o The increased quantum efficiency occurs because the flat band potential of SrTiO, is ca. 0.3 V more cathodic for SrTiO, than for Ti02.49, 51 This produces increased band bending at the SrTiO, surface in its working potential range. Figure 4 shows the current-potential behaviour of an irradiated electrode as a function of pH. The limiting current quantum efficiency is 1 at V % 1.55 V and A < 330 nm.60 At zero bias voltage, it is ca. 0.1.499 Two other perovskites, KTaO, and KTa0.77Nb0.2303, behave similarly to SrTi03.62 The band gap in these is 3.5 eV, which is even higher than for TiOz (3.0eV). As the flat band potential of the electrode should be as cathodic as possible for the efficient photoelectrolysis of water, and as this correlates with a large band gap, it may unfortunately be the case that good performance will not be obtained with smaller band gap oxide electrodes.

580 Photochemistry Antimony-doped SnO, electrodes 53 and oxide layers on W,54Nb, Ta, and Li 55 all show effects similar to those observed in TiO,, but smaller. It has long been known that anodic photocurrents at n-ZnO are spectrally sensitized by rose bengal, and that only dye molecules or ions adsorbed on the surface are effective. The use of thick dye layers to increase the absorbance is

unsuccessful, partly because such films are highly resistive. Tsubomura et 57 have circumvented this problem ingeniously by the use of sinter discs of ZnO powder, dyed by immersion in a concentrated rose bengal solution. A large total absorption of light can thus be obtained in conjunction with a fairly low inner resistivity (ca. 100 ohm cm). A cell containing this electrode, aL5,9

The decomposition of the CdS can, however, be prevented by the use of sulphide-rich solutions.so~ The behaviour of the irradiated cell n-CdS or CdSe I NaOH, Na,S, S (all ca. 1M) I Pt

has been reported.so At the irradiated semiconductor, sulphur is formed by oxidation of S2- in solution. At the counter-electrode, hydrogen is initially evolved, but if sufficient elemental sulphur is added, this ceases, and the electrode process is presumed to be the reduction of some polysulphide species. Etched electrodes maintained power conversion efficiencies of ca. 5% for CdS at 500 nm, and up to 9% for CdSe at 633 nm. Similar behaviour occurs in organic sulphide/sulphur solutions from which air is rigorously excluded.,l With a CdSe electrode and an activated charcoal counter-electrode, short-circuit currents of 7-10 mA cm-2 and open-circuit potentials of ca. 0.5 V were obtained in AM1 sunlight. The inclusion of a third electrode of porous Ag/Ag,S can convert the device into a storage battery, with a charging current efficiency of up to 90%, provided that sulphur is excluded from the storage electrode compartment. 69

Photochemistry

Miscellaneous. p-Silicon in aqueous solution exhibits cathodic photoeffects 62 as expected. However, the electrode behaviour deteriorates because a superficial oxide layer is formed. Bard has instigated an examination of the photoelectrochemistry of semiconductor electrodes in non-aqueous soIventsYB3 in which stability is generally improved. Both n- and p-Si in acetonitrile 64 show behaviour that strongly depends upon the electrode pretreatment, and the absence of ideal semiconductor behaviour suggests that surface states and surface degradation are important even under non-aqueous conditions. A contribution to the problem of stabilizing semiconductor electrodes of small band gap has been made by Tsubomura and c o - w ~ r k e r s ,who ~ ~ have shown that n-GaP electrodes coated with thin gold films (of transmittance 5-30%) behave on illumination like n-Gap, rather than Au, electrodes. Photondriven charge injection continues, but it seems possible that this occurs on regions of the semiconductor surface not covered by gold. Lyons has reported the first stage of a project aimed at photoelectrochemical energy conversion based on hole-electron pair generation in thin anthracene crystals by absorption of light. Tris-(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(iI)2+and p-anilinobenzenesulphonate are oxidized with 100% current efficiency by positive holes emerging from an anthracene crystaLBs

4 Photochemistry in Vesicles, Micelles, and Artificial Membranes There is a large electrical double layer at the aqueous-organic interface of micelles and vesicles of ionic surfactants. This produces marked effects on the rates of ionic reactions in the vicinity of the interface, and may greatly prolong the lifetime of the primary products of a photoelectron transfer r e a ~ t i o n . ~Thus ~-~~ the interface provides a means for spatial separation and stabilization of photogenerated oxidant and reductant. Tomkiewicz and Corker have examined photoredox reactions of chlorophyll a in egg yolk lecithin vesicles.7o With [Fe(CN),I3- or Sm3+as electron acceptors, the cation radical Chlt was produced, but they could not detect electron transfer to ubiquinone or iron-sulphur proteins (which are involved in the primary in vim photosynthetic process) except in the case of one protein isolated from Rhodospirillum rubrum. Boguslavskii et aL7137 2 have observed the photoreduction of chlorophyll at a decane-water interface. Mange173has made an interesting observation on the relative efficiency of energy conversion of chlorophyll-containing bilayer membranes (BLM) and liposomes.

583 sensitive, the quantum yield (electrons transported per photon absorbed) is only ca. In photosynthetic membranes, by contrast, it is unity. It has been proposed 74 that the lack of chlorophyll aggregates in BLM, which always retain some organic solvent, is responsible for their low efficiency. Mangel’s study supports this, in that quantum yields of electron transfer in liposomes containing carotene and aggregated chlorophyll have quantum yields of ca. 0.075. It appears that pigment aggregates may play an important role in the conversion of photonic into electronic energy. The retinal protein complex bacteriorhodopsin forms the major constituent of the purple membrane in Halobacterium halobium. In vivu, this protein acts as a light-driven proton pump;75its absorption maximum is at 570 nm. It has been suggested 76 that oriented purple membranes from halobacterial cells could be made into stabilized sheets containing a H+/Na+ antiporter. The whole would then act as a light-driven dialysis unit. Skulachev77 has shown that planar artificial sheets formed from purple membrane are very stable : sheets supported on millipore filters may be boiled for 1 min without inhibiting photochemical activity. 5 Photosynthesis

A series of papers under the general title ‘Bioenergetics of Tomorrow’ has appeared in the April 1976 issue of F.E.B.S. Letters. These include a general review of photobiological energy conversio~i,~~ and three papers on bacteriorhodopsin. Calvin has reviewed photosynthesis as a resource for energy and materials. 79p

The Structure and Function of Photosynthetic Membranes.-As in previous years, some of the recent findings in photosynthesis are reported in the hope that better understanding of photosynthesis in vim may lead to more efficient in vitro processes. Anderson 81 has reviewed the molecular organization of chloroplast thylakoids. One of the intriguing aspects of the primary processes of photosynthesis is the high efficiency with which energy migrates from the light-harvesting antenna of pigment molecules to the trap, for this process has not as yet been achieved at anything like the same efficiency in vitro. Solutions of chlorophyll in vitro, whether in fluid solvents, rigid matrices, monolayers, multilayers, or bilayer vesicles, exhibit the phenomenon of concentration quenching of the excited state at concentrations much lower than those which are present in the chloroplast ( 10-1M). To account for this, Porter 82 has proposed that the mechanism of concentration quenching in non-biological chlorophyll systems is Forster energy transfer between chlorophyll molecules followed by capture at a non-fluorescent N

trap, which is merely a pair of chlorophyll molecules whose separation, although part of the equilibrium statistical distribution, is less than a critical distance Rt. A Monte Carlo method was used by Beddard 82 to calculate fluorescence yields as a function of chlorophyll concentration, and excellent agreement was obtained with experimental data from a wide variety of systems for a trap distance Rb of 1 nm. These calculations indicate that efficient energy transfer would be impossible in the photosynthetic unit if it resembled a randomly distributed solution of chlorophyll molecules containing, as such a distribution would, a high proportion of chlorophyll a molecules with nearest neighbours within 1 nm. It is therefore inferred that the chlorophyll molecules are separated from each other, probably by co-ordination of lipids or proteins to the magnesium atom of the chlorophyll. The first direct structure determination of a chlorophyll-containing protein by X-ray crystallography has been The protein concerned, extracted from the green photosynthetic bacterium Prusthecochloris Aestuarii 2K, consists of three identical subunits, each containing a core of seven bacteriochlorophyll molecules confined within an ellipsoid of axial dimensions 4.5 x 3.5 x 1.5 nm. The orientation of the porphin rings does not conform to any repetitive pattern, although their planes do lie roughly parallel to one another. The average nearneighbour distance is cn. 1.2 nm, which should allow efficient energy transfer whilst inhibiting concentration quenching. Absorption and c.d. spectra of the same protein show evidence of exciton interaction between the seven bacteriochlorophyll molecules in each of the three The co-ordination properties of the central magnesium atom in chlorophyll have for some time now been recognized to play a decisive role in chlorophyll function in photosynthesis. Computer deconvolution of absorption spectra has provided evidence that both five-and six-co-ordinations occur in bacteriochlorophyll in viuo and in uitru.8S Self-aggregated bacteriochlorophyll is five-co-ordinate. The magnesium atom is also five-co-ordinate in ethyl chlorophyllide a and b dihydrates, which contain cross-linked one-dimensional polymers of translationally equivalent molecules.s6 Features in the absorption spectra bear a striking correspondence to those observed in vivu and it is suggested that aggregated chlorophyll in vivo has a similar structure. Chlorophyll a aggregation in the presence of small amounts of water has been investigated spectroscopically.s7 The structure of the ‘special pair’ chlorophyll P700 in green plants, which acts as a trap for excitons from the chlorophyll antenna, has been reconsidered by Katz and co-workers.88 The apparently dimeric species (Chl a. H20)z, A700, obtained by slow cooling of M chlorophyll a in hydrocarbon, may have a similar structure as it has an oxidation potential of ca. 0.5 V, similar to that of P700 in v i v ~ . ~ ~ 83

Primary Photochemical Events in Photosynthesis.-The transient state termed P F , which is formed within 10 ps of excitation of the bacteriochlorophyll reaction centre special pair P870, was described last year. Picosecond kinetics of the 1250nm band of the reaction centre of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides provide some evidence that this state is produced by electron transfer from P870 (i.e. BChl,) to a bacteriopheophytin (BPh) molecule in the reaction centre.Q0Fajer et aLgl have measured the optical spectrum of BPhr in vitro, and have demonstrated a good fit between the PF data and the sum of the spectral data for BChl,? and BPhs. However, optical data on the primary acceptor, chemically trapped in the reduced form in the bacterium Chromatium vinosum, suggest that the electron may be shared between BChl and BPh.Q2It is now established that the electron is passed on to a ubiquinone (UQ) molecule closely coupled to an iron(@ protein, whose role may possibly be to facilitate electron transfer between the ‘primary’ UQ accepter and a second, more loosely bound UQ in the bacterial reaction Photosynthetic Hydrogen and Oxygen Evolution.-It has been known for some years that photosynthetic organisms which contain the enzymes nitrogenase and hydrogenase will, under suitable conditions, produce molecular hydrogen instead of fixing nitrogen or reducing carbon dioxide to carbohydrate. Interest in the possibility of large-scale hydrogen production by this means continues. Some intact plants have this ability: the water fern Azolla is an example.Q4 Formation of hydrogen by irradiation of chloroplast suspensions containing hydrogenase has been examined both in the absenceQ5and the presenceQsof exogenous electron donors. In the former case, it appears that H,O itself is reduced. Packer Q7 has examined the possibility of stabilizing the in vitro photochemical activity of chloroplasts used for hydrogen production by immobilization through cross-linking with the bifunctional reagents dimethylsuberimidate and glutaraldehyde, and has shown that performance is somewhat improved by this measure. The role of manganese in photosynthetic oxygen evolution is an intriguing and challenging question. The oxidation states involved, and even the number of manganese atoms in the reaction centre of photosystem 11, are not known with certainty. The dimer of the manganese@) gluconate complex [Mnl1(GH,),l2- in basic aqueous media has been reported to undergo redox chemistry which parallels much that is observed of manganese in photosystem II.D8The dimer can be chemically or electrochemically oxidized in an overall four-electron process to a product which, under low oxygen partial pressures, evolves molecular oxygen and regenerates the starting material.

6 Photovoltaic Cells There has been a noticeable trend this year towards the investigation of inorganic heterojunction cells, some of which now exhibit efficiencies approaching those of the well-established silicon p-n junction cell. This is an encouraging development, as the fabrication of heterojunctions requiring the deposition of a thin semiconductor layer on a fairly thin substrate of a different semiconductor is simpler, and therefore potentially less costly, than fabrication of diffused junction cells. A book of general interest and an introduction to the theory of photovoltaic cells loohave appeared. Silicon.-The proceedings of a two-day meeting on high efficiency silicon solar cells have appeared,lol as has a report on the feasibility of producing silicon ribbon suitable for solar cell manufacture by ‘edge-defined film-fed growth‘ (EFG).lo2 Distinct progress has been made with the EFG technique; solar cells with 7% efficiency (in simulated AM0 sunlight) are now routinely made. Crystals grown by EFG on the usual graphite dies tend to incorporate some S i c crystallites, which act as centres for the accumulation of other impurities in the crystal.loS Cells with p-n junctions grown epitaxially on silicon EFG ribbon have substantially higher efficiencies than is achieved by diffusion.lo4 Silicon p+-p-n-n+ solar cells of thickness ca. 35 pm, grown epitaxially onto n+ material by deposition from SiH2C12,with ASH, and B2Hs dopants, have good performance (Kc 0.636 V, fill factor 0.79, AM1 efficiency 12.6%).lo6 Polycrystalline n+-p-p+ silicon layers grown on steel were not successful, but n+-Si Ip-Si Ip+-Si I graphite cells performed rather better (Kc 0.35 V, AM0 efficiency 1.5%).lo8 Some MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor) silicon cells have been investigated. The open-circuit voltage of a simple SBSC is generally lower than that of ap-n junction cell, because the simple metal-semiconductor junction has a large reverse saturation current. Inclusion of a thin insulator layer decreases this and can improve cell performance, provided the resistance is not too much increased. The open-circuit voltage of MIS cells on n-Si was optimized by a SiO, layer of thickness ca. 2 nm.lo7 H F etching of the SiO, layer of a single-crystal MIS silicon solar cell raised the AM1 efficiency above 10%.lo8 Thin film (ca. 1 pm) p-i-n silicon solar cells of AM1 efficiency up to 2.4% J.

The current-voltage characteristics of the junction photoconductivity of junctions produced by forming layers of Cu2S on single crystals of CdS 114 have been investigated. Some very promising cells based on CdS heterojunctions with III-V and other II-VI semiconductors have been reported. Shay et aZ.llb have provided a fuller description of the preparation and properties of the very successful p-InP/n-CdS cell. Previously reported solar conversion efficienciesof 12.5% can be improved to 14% by annealing the cell for 15 min at 600 "C in forming gas (15% H2 + 85% N2), which improves the open circuit voltage. It is estimated that efficiencies of 17.2% (AM2) and 14.0% (AMO) will be achieved.l12 Fabrication of rather less efficient (4.1%) epitaxially grown single-crystal InP/CdS cells has been reported.lls Polycrystalline thin film InP/CdS solar cells of 2.8% (AM1) efficiency have been made.117 Based on their current-voltage characteristics, it is estimated that l l 2 y

A n-CdS/n-CdTe/p-CdTe polycrystalline device fabricated by deposition of 30 pm of the In-doped CdS on P-doped CdTe polycrystals has been reported to have good photovoltaic properties. (6,0.55 V, isc 14 mAcm-2 under 80 mW cm-2 sunlight, efficiency 4.5%.)11* However, Martinuzzi has shown that the n-CdS/p-CdTe junction is unstable because of diffusion of excess Cd from CdS to CdTe.ll9 Efficient CuInSe,/CdS cells have also been reported by Shay et aZ.120 Cell characteristics measured for 92 mW ern+ incident sunlight are V,, 0.5 V, isc 38 mA cm-2, fill factor 0.6, giving an overall efficiency of ca. 12%. n-CdS layers grown epitaxially on a (111) n-GaAs face exhibit photovoltaic properties, with a current collection efficiency of 0.69 at 633 nrn.121 Gallium Arsenide.-High-performance solar cells have been prepared by vapourphase epitaxial growth of n-AlAs on p-GaAs.122 Cells with measured sunlight A

The first report has appeared of the fabrication of such a cell, which had the expected good characteristics (Kc 0.89 V, isc 18 mA ern-,, fill factor 0.8, efficiency 14%).12g James and Moon127have constructed a GaAs concentrator solar cell which produced a power of 4.52 W cm-, at a concentration of x 312 suns, an overall conversion efficiency of 17.5% Other Semiconductor Heterojunctions.-Bachmann et have considered the general requirements for good efficiency in polycrystalline heterojunction solar cells. These include a good lattice match between the two components and an easy method of substrate preparation. They have called attention to the fact that none of the 11-IV-V2 compound semiconductors such as InSiP, have been evaluated as solar cell components, and only CuInSe, of the I-111-VI, compounds has been investigated. The latter seems a promising material: the calculated theoretical conversion efficiency for CuInS, p n homojunct ions is 27.4-32.1%, taking a realistic minority carrier lifetime of 10-8-10-6 s.12@ p-Cu,Se/n-AgInSe, structures exhibit photovoltaic effects, with a peak current efficiency of 0.18 at 1150 nm.130 n-CdSe/p-ZnTe heterojunctions also have photovoltaic properties, though solar cell performance is limited by the short diffusion length of holes in CdSe (GC0.55-0.61 V, fill factor 0.37-0.56, current efficiency 0.14--0.25%).131 Very small photovoltaic effects have been reported in the heterostructures Au/Ge,Se,-,/SnO, and Ge,Sel-,/Se/Sn0,.133 N

Schottky Barrier Solar Cells.-Theory. McOuat and Pulfrey lS4 have extended their general model of metal-semiconductor solar cells, taking into account all likely loss mechanisms. Comparison of experimental and computed data for Auln-GaAs yielded good agreement. Green 196 has compared the depletion layer collection efficiency for p n junction, Schottky barrier, and surface insulator solar cells. He has shown that the collection efficiency of a Schottky barrier is generally smaller than for a p-n junction, and that previous approaches, which have generally assumed a collection efficiency of unity for a Schottky barrier, are therefore overoptimistic in their conclusions. Green135and several other workers136-138have shown that an MIS Schottky barrier solar cell is capable of better performance than is a comparable MS Schottky diode.

G. BEDDARD

1 Introduction This Report deals with the photochemical and photophysical aspects of the primary processes in photosynthesis and vision. Because of the overwhelming importance of chlorophyll (Chl) to photosynthesis, and the retinals to vision, the photochemistry and photophysics of these molecules are discussed in relation to their photobiological roles. The review of photosynthesis is concerned with processes which occur in the light-harvesting arrays and reaction centres.l Work dealing with oxygen evolution and with the electron-transport chains following the secondary acceptor to the reaction centre is not covered. Likewise, in the section which covers visual processes, only the chromophore isomerization and resulting conformational changes induced in the protein are reviewed. 2 Photosynthesis Chlorophylls in vivo and in vitro.-Several studies have in the past made it clear that while both singlet and triplet chlorophyll (ChlT) states are quenched in the presence of quinones, Chl+' is only detected when produced from the triplet. This failure to observe Chl+' in singlet quenching may be explained by a rapid decay of the excited singlet charge-transfer complex (Chl+' Q-*) rather than by the ion-pair separation which occurs from the triplet complex. Lamola et aZ.,2 using the ENDOR technique, claim that photo-oxidation of Chl-a and -b occurs only from the triplet, but they are unable to exclude the possibility that an ion-pair formed from the singlet recombines rapidly. Bacteriopheophytin (BPh), quenched by p-benzoquinone (BQ), produces BPh+' from a triplet complex (BPh+' BP-') > 1 ns after excitation when the singlet is largely decayed. It is suggested that the singlet complex decays faster than the ions can ~ e p a r a t e , ~ as the radical-cation is not detected when this state is quenched. BChl and BPh

This species does not appear to have been observed by others. Photoconductivity measurements on Ch1+',6the effect of dielectric constant on its formation in the presence of BQ,' and Chlf' produced by quenching by nitronaphthalenes have all been reported. Photo-galvanic, -voltaic, and -electric effects of Chl are reported in Part V. The redox properties of Chl excited states and of Zn uroporphyrin triplet states, which are similar to those of Chl, have been measured.n Triplet oxidation is charge-controlled and electron transfer is found to occur over distances as large as 20-30 A.lo Chlorophyll T-T annihilation in polar solvents is found to be the main source of Chl cations and anions.ll The Chl+' threshold formation energy in MeCN is 1.8 eV compared with 5 eV for direct photoionization in tetramethylsilane. The wavelength dependence of Chi+' destruction in propanol was measured in an unsuccessful attempt to form the Chl dication.12 The absence of this species is explained by the short lifetime of excited Chl+'.

The Chl+' signal, observed in the light, takes 2 min to reach full intensity, but no signal was observed with Fe(CN),3- acceptor, in contrast with Tomkiewicz and Gorker,22possibly due to different instrumental sensitivities.

The absorbance of Fe3+ produced on illumination is measured. The calculated efficiency charge found in Black Lipid transport of 0.075% is considerably in excess of the Membranes (BLM's). The mechanism of the electron transport is undetermined. Chl dimers may be involved but their presence in the bilayer is not certain. Lipid peroxide formation causes Chl-containing bilayers to become permeable to protons in the presence of the Fe3+-Fe2+couple;26the effect on liposomes is unknown. BLM's made of Chl-containing chloroplast fragments have their photosensitivities enhanced by added biliproteins, e.g. p y c ~ c y a n i n28, ~ ~or~ amino-acid~.~~ The membranes separate Fe2+-Fe3+and ascorbate, and the electron transport is aided by Fe3+-biliprotein complexes. Water-soluble Chl derivatives, chlorophillin and chlorin E, act as sensitizers for electron transfer from methyl-red to ascorbate on poly(~inylpyrrolidene).~~ Chlorophyll incorporation into hydrated lipid bilayers perturbs the lipid structure.

Transmittance changes have been shown to be the cause of increased pyrene cation formation at the phase change;35the cation yield is unchanged, however. In uiuo, Chl molecules (and a number of accessory pigments such as carotenes) occur in photosynthesizing organisms in an efficient light-harvesting network to transport the energy absorbed to the reaction centre. The mechanism of the energy migration and the Chl structure in the harvesting network have been discussed.’ Energy migration, by repeated Forster transfers, among Chl-a molecules on polyvinylpyridine, sensitizes BChl fluorescence at several Chl : BChl The Chl-a fluorescence is quenched by Chl-Chl, BChl-BChl, and most effectively by Chl-BChl ‘dimers’. Modification of the Forster equation for single-step transfers to account for multiple steps among donor molecules before quenching unfortunately gives only fair agreement with the data, the best fit being where migration is Chl-c fluorescence is quenched by Chl-a at Strouse 37 has determined the crystal strucvarious pigment ture of ethyl chlorophyllide-a and -b dihydrate and finds linear and twodimensional polymers with the Chl molecules hydrogen-bonded together. He proposes that these linear polymers are of the type used in vioo in the antennae, as the low-temperature absorptions correspond closely to those in the chloroplast. While exciton interaction at low temperature can lead to efficient energy transport, it is difficult to see why this should occur at physiological temperatures where thermal motions would be expected to destroy coherence. Norris et aLS8 propose that the light-harvesting antennae are anhydrous oligomers of Chl. This implies that the Chl environment must be anhydrous, that no breaks or impurities occur in the oligomer as these would stop energy transfer, and that (Chl), must be synthesized in an anhydrous environment. However, Chl has been shown to be in the hydrophilic part of bilayers 31s sB and Chl-Chl dimers, in the little photophysics of them that is known, appear to quench energy 36a Indeed, self-quenching of the fluorescence, caused by transfer to weakly fluorescent molecular associations, is present in all model systems of the light harvesting yet made. Beddard and Porter 40 have shown by a Monte Carlo calculation that the fluorescence concentration quenching of Chl can be described by energy migration (Forster) about a random array of molecules, with quenching occurring when two molecules are closer than 1.0 nm. Both fluorescence yields and fluorescence quenching rate, which is time de~endent,~’ have been calculated at various Chl concentrations. It is suggested that galactosyldiglycerides hold the Chl apart in vivo to prevent quenching, but allow fast energy migration. These lipids, which may bond to the Chl Mg or to ring-IV or -V ester or carbonyl groups, have been shown to be necessary for photochemical activity in c h l o r o p l a ~ t s . ~Not ~ - ~ all ~ the Chl is contained in the lipid, however, 34s

and the antennae may contain up to half of the Chl in proteins 45* 46 in which the Chl must be positioned so as to prevent quenching configurations from being present. The absorption spectra of Chl-lipid or protein interactions do not completely reproduce the in vivo absorptions as do the Chl oligomers. A systematic study of Chl-lipid-protein spectra has yet to be made. Chlorophyll and its analogues form a variety of oligomers in non-polar solvents and polymers in polar ones. In ionic and non-ionic detergents both Polymers of (Chl-dioxan), in decane Chl monomer and dimers are (Ch12-pyrazine),, (Chl-bipyrimidine),, and (Chl-H,O-pheophytin), in dodecane have been described.48 Fong et ~ 2 1 propose . ~ ~ a structure for (Chl-2H20), which differs from that of its ethylchlorophyllide analogue.37 A structure for (Chl), is also proposed 6o and Chl-H20 is found to be remarkably stable, only losing the water at 120 0C.61 In aqueous acetone, polymers of Chl-a, -b, and epi-Ch1,62 and in aqueous ethanol those of pyropheophytin have been described.63 The latter may be related to pheophorbide-H,O polymers.37 1.r. spectra of the polymers of Chl-a,-b, proto-Chl, bacterioviridin, protopheophytin, and pheophytin 64 and c.d. and fluorescence-polarization of protochlorophyllide polymers have been measured.66 The properties of Chl and phycobiliproteins in cellulose nitrate films66 and the aggregation of a number of porphyrins in aqueous solutions have been detailed.67 Interestingly, some mixed polymers of Chl, proto-Chl, BChl, and pheophytin in dioxan-H20 show energy migration from short- to long-wavelength absorbing species, but the fluorescence yield and transfer efficiency are low (10-4).68 Fourteen forms, in two major families, of Chl aggregates have been observed at various Chl concentrations in CCI4 solution and at - 196 "C in solid films.59Proto-Chl aggregates and Chl phosphorescence at - 196 "C at 960 nm have been noted.6o It is remarkable that Chl phosphorescence can be seen in cellulose acetate films at 22 "C (at 960 nm) as well as at - 196 "C (940 nm).61 From the phosphorescence of octaethylchlorin and its bacterio- and metal derivatives it is suggested that the Chl triplet level should be 895 nm above that of the ground state.62 46

Circular dichroism of Chl oligomers and dimers in CC14are markedly different from the spectra in chloroplasts;s3 only in rigid polystyrene was this difference less marked. Chl dimers in decalin interact with carotene l ~ t e i n .Disaggrega~~ tion does not occur, however, but it is suggested that the lutein fits between the two porphyrin rings which are tilted at 35" to one another.64 A quantummechanical formalism, applicable to aggregates in general, has been used to predict the properties of Chl aggregate^,^^ and MO calculations on Chl have also been presented.66 Maug7has shown that some unusual Chl fluorescence bands are not due to dimers6*or hot-band emission6Das has been suggested, but may be explained by self-absorption and impurities respectively. Chl-a and -b fluorescence has been vibrationally resolved at 10 K in an organic glass using the site-selection technique,70and the two-photon excited singlet and triplet cross-sections have been determined from the non-linear intensity dependence of the fluorescence and transmittance with laser intensity.71 Large photoelectron quantum yields of electron photon-l at 180 nm from Chl-a and -b mean that in electron microscopy of chloropfasts, the chlorophylls are the main source of the ~ in pure Chl-a or -b monolayers the Crystalline Chl is reported in B L M ' s , ~and fluorescence intensity changes non-uniformly with intermolecular distances (15-4OA range), possibly reflecting a packing change which occurs at about 35 A.74 Triplet-state zero-field splittings and intersystem crossing rates of Chl-a and -b and Zn-Chl show that the metal has little effect on the decay rates: these are very different from each sub-level of the triplet.75 With strong electron-withdrawing groups, the keto-group in ring v of Chl-a has much stronger binding energy than the two ester carbonyl groups, but for weak interactions the donor properties are similar.76 1.r. spectroscopy detects four types of electron-accepting abilities in Chl related to the different binding of the Mg to the ring.77 Co-ordination to the 5 and 6 positions on the Mg in BChl in dry solvents produces absorption bands at 580 and 610 nm re~pectively.~~ Some interesting new peripheral compounds formed from pheophytin in pyridine have absorptions to the red of p h e ~ p h y t i n .In ~ ~these compounds Mg2+,Zn2+,but not Cu2+,Ni2+, Mn2+,bind with the /3-ketoester of ring v instead of in the centre of the porphyrin ring. 63 64

The photoreduction of H,-tetraphenylporphyrin to chlorin is found to be dependent on the amine used.80 Free-base porphyrin radicals are produced from a charge-transfer complex of the amine and porphyrin. The kinetics of the photoreduction accounts for the equilibrium between the radicals and their dimer which can also photodissociate to the chlorin. Photosystem I (PS I).-A small reversible bleaching of a Chl band at 703 nm is the result of system I reaction centre oxidation and is linked quantitatively to a reversible e.s.r. signal with g = 2.0025.81 This signal, with a linewidth 1/42 of that of normal Chl, and ENDOR spectra having hyperfine splittings almost half that for monomeric Chl, both indicate that P700 exists as a dimer.s8 It is proposed 38 that P700 has the structure (Chl-H,O-Chl) with bonding; Mg--O(H)H-*O=C ring v ester group of the other Chl. The species (Chl-ROH),; R = H, Et, protein, also has low-temperature absorption and e.s.r. properties similar to those of P700.82 It has been proposed that this symmetrical dimer has bonding Mg*-O(R)-H -*O=C-ring v carbonyl from one Chl molecule to the other. A similar dimer (Chl-H,O), had previously been suggested by Fong:s3 in this dimer bonding was made to -C=O in the ester group of ring v. At low temperatures in hydrocarbon solvents, the absorption of this dimer at 700nm was attributed to the equilibrium 2Chl-Hz0 + (Chl-H,O),. This species is also reversibly oxidized by I, in a reaction analogous to that of P700.49,60 The Chl-water ‘dimers’ described only have properties similar to P700 at low temperatures in hydrocarbon solvents. If these ‘dimers’ are good models of the reaction centre, then the effect of temperature should only be to restrict the relative motions of the Chl molecules. This may be achieved in vivo by the lipidprotein environment of the Chl.s2 There is still considerable controversy over the nature of the primary acceptor for P700. An iron-sulphur protein acceptor has been proposeda4 because of the stoicheiometry between its e.p.r. signal when photoreduced and P700 oxidaValues t i ~ n86. ~ ~ ~ for g of 2.05, 1.94, 1.86 are reported for blue-green algae and similar values have been given for subchloroplast particles.88 McIntosh et aLS9 and Evans disagree with this assignment and by freezing PS I particles under extreme reducing conditions, for example, illumination in the presence of methylviologen and dithionite, they observed a fully reversible e.s.r. signal, from a species X, at g = 1.76 on illumination. They propose that this signal is from the primary acceptor. The complete spectrum has g values 2.07, 1.86, and 1.76.89-92Bearden Y.Harel, J. Manassen, and H.

600 Photochemistry and co-workers 87 did not observe signal X in their e.s.r. spectra under conditions similar to those used by Evans et d.90-91 The reasons for this are unclear. Experiments using 67Feindicate that X probably contains no Fe.92 Flash excitation of chloroplasts at room temperature produces a transient e.s.r. emission at g = 2.0037.93 This e.s.r. signal is thought to arise from the primary acceptor, although it differs in g value from the signals observed by Bearden and co-workers87 and Evans.g1 The e.s.r. emission results from a chemical reaction favouring the population of one spin state over the other, and slow spin-lattice relaxation allows the emission to be detected, with microsecond resolution, before the spin populations are equalized. The theory of the CIDEP phenomenon described indicates that the precursor of the e.s.r. signal is a triplet state or a radical pair. For the chloroplasts, the former possibility is favoured but not By analogy with bacterial reaction centres, the scheme (P700*)SXA + (P700')~xA -+ (P700f)X-A

describes the primary processes. A is an iron-sulphur protein 87 and P700 is the Chl dimer complex in which intersystem crossing may be fast since little fluorescence is seen.l#81 E.s.r. spectra also show that the iron-sulphur ferredoxin has a box-like 4Fe-4S, rather than a 2Fe-2SY Purification of the reaction centres to contain only one instead of five or six polypeptides removes the bound iron-sulphur e.s.r. signaLQ6In fact two iron-sulphur proteins are present at potentials of - 540 and - 590 mV 91 and are close to species X as electron transfer occurs at liquid helium temperatures and in <20 ps at room t e m p e r a t ~ r e .Bolton ~~ and Warden 94 have suggested that these two proteins are coupled to the cyclic electron flow (- 540 mV species) and to the non-cyclic flow to NADP+. Two candidates for the donor to P700+ have been proposed, they are cytochrome F (cyt-f) and plastocyanin (pc).' The precise relationship between these two remains to be established. Haehnil 98 found that when both cyt-f and pc are reduced P700+ decays in 20ms, but when both are oxidized two decays of P700f of 20 ps and 300 p are observed. Warden 9g shows that the 300 p s component represents P700+ oxidation with a component at a potential of 375 & 10mV, indicating that cyt-f is located next to P700. Other experiments suggest, however, that cyt-f and pc act in The kinetics of electrontransfer to P700+ from several cytochromes and proteins have been reported.lol Biphasic kinetics of P700+ reduction at high light intensities is thought to be incongruous with a linear electron transport chain.lo2 Further details on PS I are given in references 1 and 103.

Photosystem I1 (PSII).-It is now generally accepted that PS I1 reacts analogously to P S I although the species involved are not so clearly defined. The reaction centre Chl complex (P680) bleaches at 682nm, and an absorption at 320 nm called X320 is identified with the radical-anion of the primary acceptor, possibly plastoquinone. At low temperatures the absorption at 550 nm (C500) has kinetics similar to X320, but as it is not formed in the first flash it is not involved in the primary act but reflects the state of the Carotenoids may be involved in the 500 nm A flash-induced absorption change at 825 nm is attributed to P680 ChlChl+-.105-107This species undergoes a back reaction at 200 s-l or is reduced by the secondary donor at 50s-l.

The triplet state parameters are very similar to those for monomeric Chl, and Hoff and Van der Waalsl1* suggest that the electron may not be delocalized over the Chl dimer in the reaction centre. This observation is remarkable also in that the changes in PS I1 are seen at 735 nm, a wavelength normally ascribed to PS I emission. McIntosh and Bolton 115 have recently seen a CIDEP emission from room temperature chloroplasts which they tentatively attribute to a triplet state of a Chl dimer. A light-induced transient e.p.r. signal is observed in chloroplasts at room temperature when oxygen evolution is inhibited.ll6S117 This signal is from the physiological donor to P680+, termed 2.

Resonance raman spectra135indicate that the four BChl are initially strongly coupled. Presumably the charge subsequently becomes localized on two of these BChls. The involvement of four BChl in the reaction centre is also proposed from linewidth measurements of e.p.r. spectra,126but ENDOR spectral linewidths indicate the presence of dimers in the reactive species of the reaction centre 136, 13' in line with other evidence.129 A photochemical quantum yield of unity (k 15%) for Pf formation from 5-300K has been The absorption due to BPh splits into two components at low temperatures.

At low temperatures this process may occur by electron tunnelling. When the primary acceptor is reduced and carotenes are present in the reaction centre, the triplet absorption of Pr is not seen but absorption due to triplet carotenes appears instead.14s,14* The formation of this triplet parallels the decay of the pf species. Carotenes excited with polarized light transfer energy to BChl from which the polarized fluorescence is in the same plane as the excitation, indicating that the two dipoles may be ~ a r a l l e 1 . lThe ~ ~ fluorescence polarization is almost zero when BChl is directly excited. The triplet carotene is present to prevent degradation of the centre, and the triplet may be seen at light intensities in excess of those needed for photochemistry to occur.147-149The carotene sphaeriodene is observed in resonance raman spectra but interacts only weakly with the reaction-centre pigments.lS0 Two reaction centres are proposed for Chromatium, only one of which contains a ubiquinone Delayed fluorescence in R. sphaeroides arises from a back-reaction between the oxidized centre and the reduced as with green plants. The state of the acceptor is reflected in absorption changes at 450 nm.142 Two cytochromes having redox potentials of + 255 and 390 mV act as electron donors to the oxidized reaction centre.153 Cyclic electron flow and the role of cytochromes have also been discussed.lS4 The structure of the water-soluble antennae protein from the green photosynthetic bacterium C.

mid-point potentials for reaction centres of this bacteria have been measured.15* Two cytochromes act as electron donors, and the electron acceptor is at a very low potential, much lower than in purple bacteria and sufficient for direct reduction of NAD+.lS8 Fast Fluorescence from the Light-harvesting Pigments.-Picosecond fluorescence from ChloreZla, chloroplasts, and subchloroplast particles has been measured by a number of groups, most using 530 nm excitation from either single laser pulses or whole-pulse trains of between about 6 and 10 ps per pulse. The time profile of the Chl fluorescence from the light-harvesting antennae arrays in the chloroplast is measured. The quenching observed arises from the capture by the reaction centre of the migrating excitation energy and migration occurs by multiple Forster-type single-step transfers among the Chl molecules. As several different pigments are present, the energy preferentially transfers to the longer wavelength-absorbing species of which the reaction centre is the longest. The possibility of transfer to a shorter wavelength-absorbing species has also been Shapiro et aZ.lSo~ lS1measured the Chl-a decays in ChZoreZla (41 ps), Anasystis (74ps), and in concentrated solution and concluded that the short decay times in vivo are due to concentration quenching. This suggestion was criticized by Beddard et aZ.,40,41 who pointed out that concentration quenching would prevent energy migration to the reaction centre. They measured longer decays (in ChZureZZa) than Shapiro and found a long component of low intensity in the decay, comparable with earlier nanosecond measurements.'* lS2 When the reaction centre is blocked the decay times rise to 1.5 ns.lS2 Spinach sub-chloroplast particles of systems I and I1 were found to have exponential fluorescence decays of 60 and 200 ps respectively 163 in agreement with yield measurements. Pashenko et aZ.lS4using both 530 and 694 nm excitation observed fluorescence decays very different from those of other groups. With 530 nm excitation and observing at 730 and 650nm, a fluorescence grow-in of 200ps and decays of 80ps and 300 4500 ps respectively were seen. The long grow-in time before fluorescence maximum is reached is probably an instrumental artifact and not due to energy transfer to carotenes as suggested.lS4,lS5 The clear picture of the fluorescence properties of the light-harvesting array was changed by an observation by Mauzerall,les who, using 7 ns long laser pulses, showed that the fluorescence intensity was a decreasing function of light intensity. He proposed that second hits on the excited reaction centre resulted in rapid quenching of the fluorescence. As all previous measurements using picosecond lasers were made with lo1' to at least 10l6photons cm-2 per pulse,

the accuracy of these measurements to measure the true decay time is brought into doubt, as the threshold for the onset of intensity quenching is < 1014photon cm-2. In fact, recent picosecond measurements demonstrate the decrease of lifetime and intensity of fluorescence as the laser intensity is i n c r e a ~ e d . l ~ ~ - l ~ ~ The quenching may be due to singlet-singlet annihilation162 or to triplet states162s170to which energy is transferred, the triplet being formed from a previous Iaser pulse when a whole pulse train is used. At low light levels (< 1013photons cm-2), the laser measurements produce a lifetime of 450 ps in agreement with previous nanosecond technique measurement^.^^^ The decays are still not single exponentials, however, and this fact can be attributed to timedependent quenching rates caused by energy migration in a process analogous to diffusion-controlled quenching.41,171 Decay times of chloroplasts and PS I type particles have been measured from 25 to -200 "C, and at low temperatures emission from free Chl is also seen.172 An unidentified species in Rhodospirillum rubrum absorbing at 420 nm has been observed to emit at 596 and 654 nm with a lifetime of 5.7 ns.173 Decay times of excited BChl and BPh in the reaction centres of R. rubrum may also have contributions from bulk pigments.174 Theoretical calculations have been made on the rate of energy migration and fluorescence yield 175, 176 using the 'master equation' approach and also using the formalism previously developed by Kenkre and Knox,17' with the master e q ~ a t i 0 n . lThe ~ ~ techniques used assume that the molecules are all fixed in regular arrays or lattices, but slight imperfections in regularity make the equations unsolvable. As it seems most reasonable to assume that the PSU is irregular, this approach should only be used to predict trends rather than details of energy migration. The fluorescence polarization has also been calculated for chloroplasts in many geometrical A principle of instant action has been formulated, viz. that energy migration must be complete in ca. 10-lo s for high photochemical yields to occur and to minimize photodegradation of the chloroplast.lB0 Carotenes.-The triplet states of spheriodene and sprilloxanthin efficiently protect photosynthesizing bacteria from O2 lAg, but carotene does this less well, and phytoenes not at all.lS1 Since these molecules have low triplet energies 107

they are also good energy acceptors for Chl triplet states in photosynthetic organisms, and so protect against photodegradation.lsl, lsa The spectra of carotene radical-cations are red-shifted by 150 nm from the anions, and also exhibit a solvent shift.ls3 Photochemical and spectral properties of carotenes in deuteriated and protonated solvents have been reported, and decomposition has been observed to be faster in d e ~ t e r i o - ~ 0 1 ~ e Fluornt~.~~~ mol 1-1 have been escence lifetimes of 55 ps for a- and fl-carotene at reported.ls6 Self-quenching is possibly a cause of this short lifetime, but a fast decay may be expected in view of the low fluorescence quantum yield.

3 Vision Retinals and Retino1s.-In contrast with aromatic species, the excited singlet states of diphenylpolyenes, retinol, and retinal do not show any heavy atominduced quenching. The intersystem crossing rates are the same with and without quenchers, but the triplet states are quenched.lss*ls9 There seems no straightforward explanation for this effect. An interaction between Lif and the double bonds in all-trans retinal causes an increase in its fluorescence quantum yield, and a similar effect is seen with some coumarins.lsS At low temperatures, the temperature-dependent quantum yields of alltrans-retinal and retinol ls6,ls9may be caused by the microviscosity of the solvent which restricts certain conformations of the excited state. Wavelength-dependent non-exponential fluorescence decays of retinollao are thought to be due to conformational relaxation of the excited singlet initially produced with groundstate geometry.

Non-classical behaviour (similar to that of the styrenes) is observed with endothermic sensitizers.la2 Higher members of the vitamin A series have planar triplets which, except the 7-cis-tripletYcan equilibrate at room temperature producing a mixture of isomers although not the 7-cis-isomer.la2 On direct irradiation, only singlet state isomerization occurs but in 11-cis-retinal both sub-nanosecond singlet and slower triplet isomerizations occur.la3 The 11-cis-Schiff's base isomerizes in <10 ns from the singlet, but no isomerization is seen from the protonated Schiff's base.ls3 It is not known whether these singlet isomerizations occur as fast as the ca. 10 ps reported in vivo by Busch et aZ.lS4 Theoretical calculations on polyene isomerization provide a mechanism for hydrogen-transfer reactions, and indicate that one photon can only isomerize one bond.ls5 This is apparently in conflict with experiments where a two-photon effect is claimed to occur in 9,13-di-cis-rhodopsinlQ6* IQ7and in the isomerization of 7,9-di-cis- to 13-ci~-retinal.~~~ It will be most difficult to demonstrate this two-bond isomerization conclusively because of the possibility of the second isomerization occurring thermally lQ9or via the absorption of a second photon by an intermediate. The natures of the polyene excited states are discussed in references 200-205. Visual Pigments.-The visual pigment rhodopsin is composed of an 1l-cisretinyl chromophore covalently bound to a protonated Schiff's base linkage of the &-amino group of a lysine residue in the apo-protein opsin.206 Upon absorption of a photon the 11-cis-chromophore isomerizes to the all-transretinal with a quantum efficiency of ca. 0.7. At room temperature opsin and all-trans-retinal are the final products of this reaction, but only at low temperatures have all the (dark) intermediates been identified. A number of retinal isomers besides the 9-cis- and 11-cis-isomers206 form rhodopsins. These are the methyl derivatives of 1l - c i ~ - , ~9,l O ~3-di-cis-,la79-cis-, and 9,13-di-cis-6,7-didehydro-5-dihydroretinals.

the retinals formed show wavelength shifts caused by secondary interactions with the o p ~ i n 9-cis-Retinal .~~~ also forms an isoiodopsin with iodopsin, the opsin of chicken-retina cones,211 and /3-ionone and some derivatives preferentially react with opsin in the presence of ll-cis-retinal.211 Only the 13-cis- and alltrans-isomers do not form rhodopsins. The shape of the cleft in the opsin which contains the retinal is thus far less restrictive than had previously been supposed. It has been suggested that 9,13-di-cis-rhodopsin undergoes a single photoninitiated two-bond isomerization when the rhodopsin is detergent-s01ubilized.l~~ However, both cis- and trans-isomers can be produced using different detergents, so it is possible that the detergents affect the dark reactions after the initial isomerization. Protein-chromophore interactions are affected, but not chromophore c ~ n f o r m a f i o n212 ~.~~~~ A new Raman technique, which eliminates interference by photoproducts, shows 11-cis- and 9-cis-retinals to have spectra very similar to, although not identical with, rhodopsin and isorhodopsin respectively. The sample flows at 660 cm s-1 through an Ar+ laser beam which is sufficiently fast to prevent any photolysed sample contaminating the spectrum.212,213 The spectra are thus dissimilar to those previously reported in static solution. In solution, 1l-cisretinal has a predominantly 12-sym-trans conformation, but in rhodopsin this is distorted at C-ll.e13 The use of laser Raman spectroscopy is reviewed by Lewis.214 From a comparative study of the spectra of several retinals and their rhodopsins, Ebrey et aL207have concluded that 11-cis-retinal has the twisted 12-sym-cis configuration. This differs from previous suggestions and is based on a 30 nm blue shift observed in the absorption of 14-methyl-11-cis-retinal. The shift would not occur if the conformation were 12-sym-trans. That the rhodopsins formed by both retinals are similar suggests a 12-sym-cis-conformation in U ~ U O . ~ O ~ Crystals of 11-cis-retinal have the 12-sym-cis-configurationand similar Raman lines to those from rhodopsin, but unlike those in The half widths of visual pigment spectra as a function of wavelength216and the anion-induced changes in absorption of some retinylidene analogues have been A theoretical study of the rhodopsin spectrum using the Pariser-Parr-Pople method has been used to describe the chromophore properties.218 A vibrational analysis of the polyene chain has also been made.21e Absorption of a photon by rhodopsin results in the appearance of a transient species called bathorhodopsin (preluminrhodopsin) within a few This intermediate is converted in a series of dark reactions through lumi-, meta-I, and meta-I1 rhodopsin, and then to free opsin and 11-cis-retinal. Bensasson et aLzZ0 using 530 nm excitation observed a transient absorption at 330, 450, and 550 nm with a 125 ns decay time, and a transient at 470 nm with 211

a 5 ps decay time which corresponds to lumirhodopsin. Since the short-lived transient cannot be rationalized in terms of the dark intermediates, these workers suggest that the absorption is caused by a charge-transfer complex of rhodopsin possibly with tryptophan. This proposal receives support from the observation of tryptophan 222 and phosphorescence 222 in rhodopsin as a result of energy transfer from the chromophore. The c.d. spectra of rhodopsin also ~~~, indicates an interaction of retinal with aromatic a m i n o - a c i d ~ . 224 Goldschmidt et aZ.226have observed transients similar to those of Bensasson et aZ.220except that no peak at 330 nm was seen. They take a more conventional viewpoint and suggest that the short-lived transient absorption is due to the presence of isorhodopsin, the 9-cis-isomer. At low temperatures, the equilibrium rhodopsin + batho + is0 exists and is favoured by high light intensities. It is suggested 226 that the transient arises from contributions from iso-, batho-, and meta-I1 rhodopsins. But it is difficult to reconcile this proposal with the observation of the same decay rate across the transient spectrum225unless the interconversion rates are faster than the other decay rates. On the basis of resonance Raman spectra and H-D exchange, Fransen et aZ.22Ssuggest that bathorhodopsin is a hexaeneamine of 1l-cis-retinal in the 12-sym-cis-configuration. The spectra indicate the presence of an exomethylene double bond at C-5 to C-18. In addition, the 6% H-D exchange which occurs on illumination of lyophylized opsin in D 2 0 in the presence of ll-cis-retinal indicates that a hydrogen-shift reaction is taking place. No exchange is observed in unphotolysed samples or on photolysis of 1l-cis-retinal alone. Fransen and co-workers have implicated a hydrogen-shift rather than isomerization as the primary photoprocess. Eventually a hydrogen atom is replaced in the thermal reactions.22s Salem and Bruckmann 227 suggest that a twist about the ll-cis double bond in the excited m r * singlet state of an N-retinylidene chromophore triggers a short-lived electrical signal as charge moves from one end of the molecule to the other. They suggest that this is the first step of the isomerization. A transient dipole moment of 3&40 Debye is produced and this could, by electrostatic interaction, affect permeability of the disc membrane to Na+ or cause a conformational change in the protein. The molecular dynamics performed by retinal, initially as the 1 l-cis- (12-symtrans-) isomer, during photoisomerization in a restrictive site have been simuIsomerization occurs by concerted motion about parallel pairs of double bonds ('bicycle pedal' motion) and a cis-conformation can propagate from different double bonds to the terminal C-N bond. As both ends of the chromophore are constrained, vibrational modes of the molecule are restricted to this bicycle pedal motion and the conformation changes only along a 221 222

one-dimensional pathway. The 90" twisted excited singlet produced about C-11, C-12 crosses to the ground state and the all-trans-isomer is formed in a series of dark reactions.228Not all of these highly plausible suggestions about the nature of the primary and subsequent events are compatible with one another and we shall have to await further experimental results to confirm these suggestions. The photoisomerization in vivo produces a protein conformational change that triggers the release of some transmitter substance, and it is of interest that neutron diffraction studies show that photolysis causes a small but significant outward shift of the protein in the membrane.229 Hydrogen-tritium studies show that exchange occurs from hydrogens near the membranewater surface, but illumination promotes further exchange involving hydrogens deep in the membrane. This finding indicates that the chromophore acts as a plug in the membrane in the unbleached state and is distorted by light to open a channel for some transmitter.230 Conformational changes are also reflected by photodissociation of the two halves of an enzymatically cleaved and detergentsolubilized r h o d o p ~ i nand , ~ ~by ~ the increased rate of reaction of p-benzoquinone with S-H groups in rhodopsin on i l l ~ r n i n a t i o n . ~ ~ ~ is the result of the This increased availability of sulphydryl groups from the hydrophobic part of the membrane on bleaching.232Three pairs of S--H groups have been identified in r h o d o p ~ i n .Structural ~~~ changes have been detected through an increase in magnetic anisotropy on illumination,234as an increase in rotational relaxation time of detergent-rhodopsin m i c e l l e ~ and ,~~~ from a study of the reactions of lumi-, meta-I, and meta-I1 rhodopsin intermediate^.^^^ Photochromism at -22 "C in frog retina rhodopsin is caused by illumination at 579 nm and reversed by 435 nm light.237The yields and rates for this process have been measured and the species produced have been shown to differ from those of bovine r h o d o p ~ i n .Cephalopod ~~~ rhodopsin undergoes transformations very similar to those of vertebrate rhodopsins.
