The transient biradical generated from the photochemical reaction of a
xanthone-xanthene bifunctional chain molecule was observed by means o
f ESR and the spin trapping techniques. The product yield (spin adduct
of the biradical) increased with increasing magnetic fields (less tha
n or equal to 5000 G). The yield in the magnetic fields around 3350 C
was reduced by the simultaneous irradiation of microwave during photol
ysis. All the results were discussed within the framework of the radic
al pair model.
