The absorption spectrum of triplet acetone has been observed in acetonitrile and in aqueous solutions. Rate constants of decay, energy transfer to hexadienol and reaction with cyclohexane have been determined. A possible mechanism is suggested to explain the rapid radiationless triplet decay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
