Abstract

Time-resolved fluorescence-detected magnetic resonance (FDMR) studies of irradiated alkane solutions of trialkylamines and scintillators reveal the EPR spectra of the trialkylaminium radicals, formed by scavenging solvent radical cations. A qualitative kinetic analysis indicates that the growth of the triethylaminium radical (TEA/sup +/-) FDMR signal occurs on similar time scales in both n-hexane and cyclohexane, suggesting that, in cyclohexane, TEA/sup +/- is formed by scavenging the lower mobility ''trapped'' cyclohexane radical cations. Fluorescence results indicate that TEA quenches both scintillator fluorescence and total FDMR intensities to a greater extent than is expected from amine scavenging of solvent holes. TEA also exhibits an intense, relatively long-lived fluorescence which is apparently not produced by radical ion recombination or energy transfer. 6 figures
