Abstract

Abstract Quantum yields were measured for aromatic hydrocarbon-sensitized decomposition of dibenzoyl peroxide in benzene. For the sensitizers employed, naphthalene, phenanthrene, triphenylene, and chrysene, the ratio of the rate constants for decay and radical formation from intermediate exciplexes was found to be similar (0.2–0.4), indicating that the reactivity of the peroxide moiety in the intermediate is independent of the structural factors of the sensitizers as far as examined.
