73. 11 is related to the experimental observation of ion radicals. When ion radicals are not observed. the exciplex decays directly to the ground state (without the completion of the electron transfer and the intervention of ion radicals). Alternatively, the observation of ion radicals is attributed to ionic dissociation of the exciplex which necessitates complete electron transfer similar to that in Scheme 1.

[Note that a direct comparison of encounter complexes with singlet and triplet quinone is not possible owing to the ultrashort lifetime (≈ 10 ps) of singlet excited quinones. See: Hubig, S. M.; Bockman, T. M.; Kochi, J. K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 2926.]

The charge-transfer transitions in the absorption spectra of the encounter complexes [Q*, ArH] point to a strong orbital overlap between donor and acceptor molecule, which is achieved by close contact as observed in the analogous ground-state EDA complexes.
