Abstract
Resonance Raman spectroscopy with pulsed Laser excitation and multichannel optical detection is a very sensitive tool to detect and study transient species in solution. We have used the pump-then-probe technique to analyse by time resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy the first excited triplet state of various derivatives of the N,N,N',N'tetramethyl- p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) - (CH3)2N-C6H4-N(CH3)2, (CD3)2N-C6H4-N(CD3) 2, (CH3)2N-C6D4-N(CH3)2, and (CD3)2N-C6D4-N(CD3)2 - and of the N,N,N',N'tetraethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TEPD) - (C2H5)2N-C6H4-N(C2H5)2 and (C2H5)2N-C6D4-N(C2H5)2. All compounds have been synthetized in the laboratory. The lowest-energy triplet state is populated via intersystem crossing from the first singlet excited state after laser excitation.
