Popis: Using the C60 fluorescence as a reference in combination with the direct spectroscopic observation of 1O2 visible emission, the photophysics of 1O2 dimol ((1Δg)2) and O2(1 ) states in solution has been studied. The quantum yield of O2 1 → 3 (765 nm) emission has been measured to be 1.94 × 10-7, and consequently, the radiative decay rate of 1 → 3 transition was determined to be 1.55 ± 0.04 s-1 which, within the experimental error, is consistent with the previous report of 0.46 s-1.4 Further determination of the ratio between radiative decay and dissociation rates of the 1Δg dimol has been achieved by comparing the dimol (1Δg)2 → (3 )2 emission intensity with the tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine delayed fluorescence induced by a two-step energy transfer from the O2(1Δg) state. As a result, the lower limit of the dissociation rate constant of the dimol was estimated to be (2.6 ± 0.3) × 1010 s-1 in CCl4.
