Abstract

The triplet excited state of naphthalene (3N*) has been produced by irradiating solutions of naphthalene in mixtures of isopropanol-formamide, acetonitrile-formamide and N,N-dimethylformamide — formamide mixtures with 2 microsecond electron pulses. The yield and decay kinetics of the triplet have been studied over a wide range of compositions of the mixtures. An attempt has been made to explain the variation in the yields and decay rate constants on the basis of the micro properties of the solvent mixtures.
