I. Lampre et al., TRIARYLPYRYLIUM SALTS - DYNAMICS OF THE MONOMER-DIMER EQUILIBRIUM VIAA TRIPLET ABSORPTION STUDY, Chemical physics letters, 293(5-6), 1998, pp. 423-428
Dimers formed by triarylpyrylium tetrafluoroborates in toluene and pol
ystyrene were studied at room temperature by nanosecond flash photolys
is. The time evolution of the differential absorption spectra observed
for toluene solutions was interpreted in terms of a monomer-dimer equ
ilibrium in the ground state; the association (similar to 10(9) l mol
- 1 s(-1)) and dissociation (similar to 10(4) s(-1)) rate constants we
re derived from the concentration dependence of the transient signals.
