Fotosensitized Fading of Azomethine DyesThe quantum yields of photofading of the azomethine dyes 1a - h were determined in the presence of the sensitizers benzophenone (B), michler's ketone (MK) and anthracen (A), in isopropanol and benzene. In isopropanol, excluding oxygen, the leuco dyes 5 are formed by benzophenone in high quantum yield (ΦBAr = 0.4). Photofading also takes place using Michler's ketone (ΦMKAr ≅ 3 · 10-3) and anthracene (ΦAAr ≅ 1 · 10-4), but 5 was not found. With benzophenone (Φ2AO ≅ 7 · 10-3), Micher's ketone (ΦMKO2 ≅ 1 · 10-3) and anthracene (ΦAO2 ≅ 1 · 10-4) as sensitizers the chromophore of 1a - h were destroyed, when oxygen was present. The photofading with benzophenone and Michler's ketone is a result of radicalic processes.Radical scavangers 8 and 9, therefore, give a strong decrease of the quantum yield of photofading. The photofading in benzene corresponds to the results in isopropanol considering the lower potential of this solvent for photoreduction processes.
