Resumo

Di-n-butyl-2,6-dichlorobenzoyl phosphine oxide (DCBPO) and dicyclohexyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl phosphine oxide (TMCPO) undergo α scission on irradiation with UV light: φ(α)  0.3 (DCBPO) and φ(α)  0.2 (TMCPO). Picosecond and nanosecond flash photolysis studies, in conjunction with electron spin resonance (ESR) and optical absorption detection, provide evidence for the formation of phosphinoyl radicals R2·  O (R  n-butyl or cyclohexyl respectively). From the results, it is inferred that excited singlet states deactivate by two routes: α scission and intersystem crossing to the triplet manifold (φ(T)  0.5 (DCBPO) and φ(T)  0.7 (TMCPO)). The triplets deactivate essentially by intramolecular hydrogen abstraction resulting, to a small extent, in the formation of olefins: φ(1-butene)  0.04 (DCBPO) and φ(cyclohexene)  0.03 (TMCPO). Enolization with subsequent reketonization is the main triplet deactivation route in the case of TMCPO.
