. Can. J. Chem. 67, 927 (1989).Decafluorobenzophenone triplets, which have a triplet energy very close to that of benzophenone, are much more reactive than benzophenone in quenching reactions that involve hydrogen transfer and/or charge transfer. An excellent correlation has been observed between the rate constants for charge transfer quenching and the oxidation potential of the substrate. In the case of 2-propanol, where the reactivity can be fully accounted for by hydrogen transfer, decafluorobenzophenone is 35 times more reactive than benzophenone. Pentafluorobenzophenone shows intermediate behaviour.
