60. The mechanism responsible for the spin flip in the 1,3-diradicals 1 and 2 is SOC. The lifetimes of several triplet diradicals 1 and 2, which include the longest- and shortest-lived derivatives and those with heavy atoms, have been measured at various magnetic field strengths up to 5000 G, but no effect was observed within an error of ± 5%. These results preclude any significant contributions from hyperfine coupling, the alternative mechanism for inducing ISC (ref 8).

62. A correlation between ISC rates and aryl substituent parameters has been previously described for unsymmetrical Norrish-Type-II diradicals in nonpolar solvents, generated photochemically from γ-phenylbutyrophenone derivatives (ref 10a,d). In the polar solvent methanol, the substituents had essentially no influence on the triplet diradical lifetimes.

77. The through-bond interaction is due mainly to conjugation through the pseudo-π orbital of the methylene bridge, which affects only the symmetric orbital (Figure 5). The ethylene bridge can be ignored in the orbital-interaction diagram because it influences the symmetric and asymmetric NBMOs in a similar manner.
