Abstract
The 1,3-diene unit in trans-beta-ionol exhibits extreme 'nonvertical' behaviour in accepting triplet energy from a series of donors, a resul t strongly supporting a mechanism herein presented, which depends on t he modes of single-bond torsion available to non-planar molecules and the relative dispositions of their S0 and T1 surfaces with respect to such torsion.
