Abstract
- The multiplicity of the photo-excited state responsible for the dechlorination reaction of monochlorobiphenyls was determined in 2-propanol. Linear Stern-Volmer plots were obtained by the use of 1,3-cyclohexadiene for the dechlorination reactions of 2- and 3-chlorobiphenyl; the slopes were 35.7 and 11.0 dm3 mol−1 respectively. Fluorescence emissions were also quenched, and the quenching constants for 2- and 3-chlorobiphenyls were in accord with the respective values of the slope obtained from the Stern-Volmer plot for the reaction. The reaction of 4-chlorobiphenyl was quenched by cis-1,3-pentadiene, but was accelerated by 1,3-cyclohexadiene. Photosensitized dechlorinations of monochlorobiphenyls took place with several ketones, such as acetone and acetophenonc. These sensitized reactions were, however, very inefficient compared with the reactions in the direct excitations, except in the case of 4-chlorobiphenyl. It was, then, concluded that the dechlorinations of 2- and 3-chlorobiphenyl occurred only from...
