Abstract

The investigation presented in this paper explores the mechanistic aspects and synthetic potentials of PET activation of organoselenium substrates. Fluorescence quenching of lDCN* by a number of organoselenium compounds (RCHZSeR, 1-41, correlation of the fluorescence quenching rate constants with the oxidation potentials of 1-4, and the dependence of photodissociation quantum yields of 1-4 on their concentration suggests ...
