In the photoreduction of anthraquinone by amines and alcohols strong CIDEP effects due to the triplet mechanism are observed. From the polarization the triplet quenching mechanism of the anthraquinone triplet by triethylamine could be determined as an electron transfer with kq = 3 × 109 M−1 s−1 and by 2-propanol as a hydrogen transfer with kL = 1.1 × 107 M−1 s−1. The time-resolved ESR spectra of the anthraquinone anion radical are strongly influenced by a degenerate electron exchange with a rate constant kex = 107−108 M−1 s−1 depending on the solvent.
