Abstract

Photoprocesses in bis(diethylaminobenzylidene)cyclopentanone (D1) and its bis(aza-18-crown-6) derivative (D2) have been studied in acetonitrile. The absorption, fluorescence, and phosphorescence spectra of D1 are similar to those of D2. Laser excitation of oxygen-free solutions of D1 and D2 leads to generation of a triplet state with a lifetime of ∼1 μs and two intermediate species with lifetimes of ∼100 μs and longer than 1 s.
