34. Control experiments with the model compounds 4-nitroanisole and 4-vinylbiphenyl did not reveal any significant transient absorptions under identical experimental conditions.
35. The quantum yield was determined as described in ref. [29] and [30], using an optically-matched MeCN solution of benzophenone as standard.
