Conclusions 1. Using the methods of laser photolysis and CIDNP the mechanism of the photoreduction of 2,6-diphenyl-1,4-benzoquinone by diphenylamine has been established and the kinetics and spectral characteristics of the short-lived intermediate products formed during the photo-reduction process have been determined. 2. Quenching of triplet 2,6-diphenyl-1,4-benzoquinone by diphenylamine occurs by an electron and H-atom transfer mechanism, both processes taking place in an encounter complex and being concurrent with one another. 3. The nature of the short-lived intermediate products formed during quenching of the triplet 2,6-diphenyl-1,4-benzoquinone by aromatic amines in a weakly polar medium has been established. When quenching with diphenylamine a nondissociated ion-radical pair is formed, but with triphenylamine a triplet exciplex is formed. 4. The predominant role of the triplet mechanism in giving rise to CIDNP in ion-radical reactions which occur in weakly polar media has been confirmed.
