Measurement of molar triplet extinction coefficients of organic molecules by means of cw laser excitation

Abstract

Triplet–triplet (T–T) absorption spectra of organic compounds (e.g., dyes) are conveniently obtained by the steady-state method employing an ultraviolet/blue cw laser as an excitation source. The large depletion of molecules in the ground singlet state allows accurate determination of molar triplet extinction coefficients T without the knowledge of additional kinetic parameters. An approximation method is presented, which allows reasonably accurate determination of the concentration of triplet molecules [and consequently T(λ)] at the onset of the singlet-singlet (S–S) absorption. This method is of interest in cases in which strong S–S and strong T–T absorption overlap. The T of brilliant sulphaflavine in the region from 4700 to 6520 Å was measured. As the excitation source, the 4416-Å line of a 50-mW He–Cd cw laser was used. A 45% depletion of the singlet-ground-state population was observed.
