On Relations Between Singlet and Triplet Recombination Yields for Singlet and Triplet Precursors

Abstract

Abstract The relations have been analytically derived for recombination yields of radical pairs with different precursor states and by different reaction channels (singlet and/or triplet) in arbitrary magnetic and microwave fields. Recombination of two particles from a radical pair mostly with anisotropic reactivity is assumed to take place in a narrow reaction zone, and relative translation motion including rotation of reactants may be an arbitrary stochastic process. In addition, the approach may take into account the time-dependent spin Hamiltonian. The novel method for the calculation of recombination yields is suggested, and general expressions for recombination yields are derived for strong singlet-triplet dephasing. Some of the relations and expressions are the basis of the results given in the literature and their generalization to the case of non-model reacting systems that does not use simplification of reactants structure and reactants motion in solutions.
