Abstract

Primary processes in the reduction of p-nitroacetophenone (p-NAP) by ascorbic acid (AA) in water photosensitized by thiacyanine dimers M 2−2 have been considered. For M 2−2 , the quantum yields of fluorescence and intersystem crossing to the triplet state (M 2−2 )T increases in comparison to the monomers M. The dimers (M 2−2 )T enter into the reactions of both one-electron photoreduction by ascorbic acid to give AA and M 3∸2 and one-electron photooxidation by p-nitroacetophenone to give p-NAP−· and the dimeric radical anion M 2 which dissociates to M and M· within 25–30 μs. The primary oxidative or reductive photosensitization in the ternary systems containing (M 2−2 )T, p-NAP, and AA affords p-NAP−· and AA.
