Photochemical Reactions with Electron Transfer

Abstract

Quantum yields of hydrogen halide formation upon irradiation (λ=313 nm) of N,N-dimethylaniline together with different benzene halogen-derivatives in methanolic solution have been measured. In the discussion attention has been paid not only to relations between quantum yields of hydrogen halide and electron affinity of the acceptor, but also to the role of the interaction energy between transition moments in a heteropolar excimer.
