The sensitization of stilbene isomerization by the strongly solution phosphorescent palladium (II) and platinum (II) porphyrins has been investigated. These complexes, which have relatively long triplet lifetime and triplet energies well below the spectroscopic triplets of the stilbenes, are efficient sensitizers. Although sensitization of the 1, 2-diphenylpropenes appears “normal”, sensitization of the stilbenes results in quantum yields for the cis to trans process greater than unity and trans-rich photostationary states. The results can be explained by a quantum chain process inwhich the metalloporphyrin serves both as an energy donor and an acceptor. In contrast to quantum chain processes previously observed with conjugated dienes which involve interchange of acceptor triplets and occur at relatively high concentrations, the phenomena observed here occur at rela-tively low donorand acceptor concentrations. The results suggest the intermediacyof a sensitizer-acceptor cage-encounter complex which may have different preferred geometryand altered nonradiative decay properties compared to the free stilbene triplet.
