The solvent effects on ketylradicals of benzophenone derivatives (BPD) in the excited state (BPDH.(D-1)) were investigated. Absorption and fluorescence spectra of BPDH.(D-1) in various solvents were measured using nanosecond-picosecond two-color two-laser flash photolysis. The fluorescence peaks from BPDH.,(D-1) showed a shift due to the dipole-dipole interaction with the solvent molecules. The dipole moments (mu(e)) of BPDH.(D-1) were estimated to be 7-10 D, indicating that BPDH.(D-1) are highly polarized. It was revealed that the fluorescence lifetime (tau(f)) depends on mu(e) in acetonitrile because the stabilization by solvent molecules affects the tau(f) value in polar solvents, predominantly. On the contrary, the conformation of BPDH.(D-1) plays an important role in cyclohexane because the efficiency of the unimolecular reaction from BPDH.(D-1) depends on the conformation. The substituent effect on the electron transfer from BPDH.(D-1) to their parent molecules was also discussed.
