13. + and 2 so as to avoid possible side reactions of 1 and 2 initiated by absorption of the monitoring light. Reactions of 1 affording 2 were also observed under these co-sensitized PET conditions
14. A use of cationic sensitizers and chemically unreactive aromatic hydrocarbons so-called co-sensitizers is effective to observe radical cations in the LFP experiments. Under these conditions, a substrate radical cation is formed via electron transfer from a co-sensitizer to a photoexcited sensitizer followed by hole transfer from a co-sensitizer radical cation to a substrate
15. Because DCN is transparent in the vis region, DCN was used as a sensitizer instead of DCA in the monitoring experiment of the time-dependent changes of absorption spectra of the PET reaction of 1
