The photocyclization of 1,1'-dicycloalkenyls (1,1'-dicyclohexenyl, 1,1'-dicyclopentenyl, 1,1'-dicycloheptenyl and 1,1'-dicyclooctenyl) is studied. Irradiation at liquid nitrogen temperature does not show trans double bond band in IR spectra. Even though naphthalene and pyrene fluorescence are quenched very efficiently by 1, 1'-dicycloalkenyls, no or trace amount of cyclobutenes are accompanied. When acetophenone or benzophenone is used, cyclobutene is obtained only from 1,1'-dicyclohexenyls, 1,1'-dicycloheptenyl giving some adducts. Naphthalene and pyrene sensitizes adduct formation but not cyclization. From above observations, it is concluded that photocyclization occurs from the planar s-cis triplet state rather than twisted triplet, singlet excited state or vibrationally excited ground state in sensitized photocyclization of 1,1'-dicycloalkenyls.

Fluorescence from the electronically excited thiophosgene (Cl2CS) in its first excited singlet state (S1) is efficiently quenched by collision. Rates of the collision-induced electronic relaxation were obtained for various vibrational levels in the S1 state by measuring the fluorescence lifetimes. We found that the relaxation process is strongly energy-dependent; the rate consistently increases by a factor of ~40 with the increase of vibrational energy from 0 to 1450 cm-1. Collision-induced intersystem crossing from the S1 to the first triplet state (T1) is attributed to the major process responsible for the electronic relaxation.

The photocycloaddition reaction of khellin with several olefins has been investigated. The photocycloadducts are formed regioselectively on furanyl 4',5'-double bond of khellin probably due to the localization of excitation energy on the furanyl 4',5'-double bond in the reactive excited state. The photocycloaddition reaction proceeds through the excited triplet state and the same product was formed when khellin is irradiated with dimethylfumarate or dimethylmaleate indicating the formation of common intermediate. The quantum yields of photocycloadduct formation, fluorescence, and intersystem crossing are very sensitive to proton-donating ability of solvents.

No fluorescence was observed from 1-aryl-4-(pentamethyldisilanyl)buta-1,3-diynes except 1-(1-naphthyl)-4-(pentamethyldisilanyl)buta-1,3-diyne. Irradiation of 1-aryl-4-(pentamethyldisilanyl)buta-1,3-diynes (1) with methanol gives photoaddition products in relatively low yields compared to arylethynyldisilanes which show dual fluorescence. Irradiation of 1 with acetone yields site specific and regioselective 1:1 photoadducts through silacyclopropene intermediates. The triplet excited state of the silacyclopropene reacts with acetone to give addition photoproducts and the triplet energy of the silacyclopropenes lies around 260-286 kJ/mol.

The variation of Jahn-Teller(J-T) distortion imposed on various metallo- tetraphenylporphyrins(MTPPS;M=ZnⅡ,PdⅡ,PtⅡ,and RhⅢ) has been investigated by time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy. B1g and B2g modes of the triplet(π,π*) states for the heavy-metal porphyrins exhibit the enhancement of their intensities compared with those of 3ZnⅢTPP, while the enhancement of phenyl internal mode is reduced. These results suggest that the J-T distortion becomes manifest as the metal size increases, and consequently the porphyrin-to-phenyl ring charge transfer in the excited triplet state is inhibited.

Photoreactions of N-(2,4-dibromonaphthyl)arenecarboxamides in basic medium result in the intramolecular substituted products, 2-aryl-8-bromonaphthoxazoles in moderate yields and further photoreactions of the products afford the reduced products, 2-arylnaphthoxazoles. These reactions are straightforward for syntheses of naphthoxazole derivatives. Since the intramolecular photosubstitution of the bromoarenecarboxamide by the oxygen of its amide group is more effective than the photoreduction of the substituted product, 2-aryl-8- bromonaphthoxazole in basic medium, the intramolecular substituted product, 2-aryl-8-bromonaphthoxazole can be isolated. A charge-transfered excited singlet state of an imidol form of the 2-bromoarenecarboxamide is involved in the photosubstitution, whereas an excited triplet state of the 2-aryl-8-bromonaphthoxzole is closely involved in the photoreduction.

Irradiation of 4-biphenylyl-4-methyl-2-cyclohexenone (5) in benzene or methanol produced trans-6-biphenylyl-5-methylbicyclo[3,1,0]hexan-2-o ne (5a) and 3-biphenylyl-4-methylcyclohex-2-enone (5b). Electronic configurations of the excited states for 5a and 5b were assigned as n, ${\pi}^*$ and ${\pi}$, ${\pi}^*$ triplet states respectively. Irradiation of 4-methyl-4(${\beta}$-naphthyl)-2-cyclohexenone in benzene or methanol gave 4-methyl-3-(${\beta}$ -naphthyl)-2-cyclohexenone (6a), which is thought to arise from ${\pi}$, ${\pi}^*$ triplet state.

The intramolecular proton transfers of 2-hydroxy-4,5-naphthotropone in room temperature solutions are studied using static and time-resolved absorption and emission spectroscopy. Dual normal and tautomer fluorescence is observed in ethanol solution, while only the tautomer fluorescence is observed in cyclohexane solution. The fluorescence lifetimes and quantum yields in ethanol and cyclohexane solutions indicate that in hydrocarbon solvents, rapid intersystem crossing competes with proton transfer in the first excited singlet state. Transient absorption spectra and kinetics indicate that proton transfer also undergoes in the first triplet state with a transfer time of ∼ 3 ns. No transient absorption from the tautomer ground state indicates a rapid back proton transfer in the ground state.

Photodissociation dynamics of tert-butyl isocyanide at 193 nm has been investigated by measuring rotationally resolved laser induced fluorescence spectra of CN fragments that were exclusively produced in the ground electronic state. From the spectra, internal energies of CN and translational energy releases in the products were obtained. The dissociation takes place in the excited triplet states which are strongly repulsive along the dissociation coordinate via curve crossing from the initially prepared state.
