1-Amino-4-(N-methylamino)anthraquinone
Solvent : Benzene

wave length (nm) at maximum, extinction coefficient = 575, 27000

Triplet state population method: Pulse radiolysis (coupled with energy transfer)
Extinction coefficient estimation method: Energy transfer
Lifetime = 3.6 micro sec.
ET = 97 - 123 kJ mol–1.
Triplet energy transfer rate constant = 4.2 x 109 L mol–1 sec–1.
Comments: *Triplet ET from biphenyl; epsilon relative to biphenyl in benzene assuming ground state dimerization

* Evidence supporting the assignment of the transient triplet state.
