The singlet-state deactivation products in a series of alkyl carboxylate substituted 1,4,5,8-naphthalene diimide (NDI) compounds were characterized using fluorescence and phosphorescence spectroscopies, as well as nanosecond laser flash photolysis. The reactive intermediates were quantified as a function of the number of methylenes in the alkyl linker. Rate constants for photoinduced electron transfer (PET) to the singlet excited state of theNDIsvaried from 1.2 × 1010to 4.9 × 1010s–1. The yield of the long-lived amino ketyl radical ranged from 15% to 60% in compounds having 4 to 1 intervening methylenes between theNDIchromophore and the covalently attached carboxylic acid. A predominantly triplet state was observed upon direct excitation of the compound having the slowest PET. This T1state of theNDIswas reductively quenched by DABCO electron donor. The amino ketyl radical was unreactive toward electron donors but was found to react with the hydrogen atom donor β-mercaptoethanol. The compounds comprise a novel class of long-wavelength and strongly absorbing UV-activated chromophores that generate carbon-centered biradicals via direct 355 nm excitation in the absence of a cosensitizer.
