Abstract

Properties and reactivities of the triplet state of safranine-T [3(STH+)*] have been studied by following the transient absorption bands measured with nanosecond laser flash photolysis. Solvent effect was found in the lifetime and T–T annihilation rate constant (kTT) of 3(STH+)*; the lifetime in ethanol is quite long and kTT in water is too small to observe. For electron transfer of 3(STH+)* with various electron donors, the reaction rate constants decrease with the oxidation potentials of the donors along with the Rehem–Weller relation. For the high electron-donors, the reaction rate constants were found to be solvent viscosity dependent rather than dielectric constants, suggesting the triplet exciplex formation prior to electron transfer. Different reactivities of 3(STH+)* towards H-abstraction reactions have been observed depending on the nature of H-atom donors: with phenols, the reaction center of the triplet states has a highly electrophilic nature, while it has a nucleophilic character with respect to thiophenols, suggesting that the reactive position of 3(STH+)* changes with the substrates.
