title: Photochemistry of acetylenic ketones in micellar solutions as studied by product-yield-detected ESR and transient absorption techniques.
abstract: The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of the transient radical pairs in the photoreduction of 1,5-diphenyl-1,4-pentadiyn-3-one(I) and 1,3-diphenyl-2-propyn-1-one(II) in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar solutions have been obtained by using the product-yield-detected ESR (PYESR) technique. The PYESR spectra, detected by tracing the microwave effect on the spin-adduct yield as functions of the magnetic field, show the ESR spectra of the ketyl radical of the ketone and SDS radical as the components of the radical pairs. In addition, the growth and the decay processes of the radical pair were observed through detecting the effect of microwave pulse as functions of the delay period between a laser pulse and the off and on time, respectively, of a microwave pulse. The absorption spectra of transient species have also been obtained by using the laser flash photolysis technique. Through the analysis of these data and molecular orbital calculations, the role of acetylenic groups in the photoreactivity of acetylenic ketones is discussed.
