Introduction The triplet state pK value, pKCI?!), of protonated benzophenone has been shown to be 1.5 by a direct de-termination based upon measurements of the initial in-tensities and lifetimes of the transients observed in laser flash experiments. 2 This value coupled with the widely different values found for the characteristic lifetimes of the triplet B and BH+ species (4 and 6.2 X 10~ 8 s, re-spectively) satisfactorily explains the disappearance of the phosphorescence observed in aqueous solution3, 4 as the acidity increases through pH 5. Recently Favaro and Bufalini5 have reported an investigation of the behavior of triplet benzophenone in aqueous solution at room temperature using a luminescence sensitization technique. Their results, for lifetimes and pK value, are in very good agreement with the direct laser flash technique. However they propose that the excited state reaction which causes the drop in phosphorescence is not the straightforward acid-base equilibrium
