34. The following assumptions are involved: (i) Catalyzed ISC by “spin exchange” (Dexter mechanism) occurs only in contact pairs, (ii) The total spin of an encounter complex is conserved during the encounter lifetime, (iii) The thermodynamic equilibrium for spin-allowed exchange processes is reached during a single encounter, (iv) Spin-allowed oxygen addition reactions (T+T “Diels-Alder” or “ene”-reactions) are efficient. For the use of spin-statistical factors see O.L.J. Gijzeman, F. Kaufman, G. Porter, J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans. II, 69, 708 (1973) and ref. 14.
35. The larger value reported earlier18 was determined at very low O2 pressures and was since found to be in error.
