Abstract

Time-resolved singlet-oxygen dimol luminescence has been recorded upon laser-pulsed photosensitization of singlet oxygen by 2-acetonaphthone or 1-H-phenalen-1-one in perfluorobenzene, perdeuterobenzene, and perdeuteroacetonitrile. It is shown that 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) does not enhance radiative properties of the dimol species generated by the photosensitization. Instead, DABCO strongly reduces the singlet-oxygen dimol luminescence. Rate constants for the quenching of the dimol luminescence by DABCO have been determined for the three solvents used.
