The Case of Two Reactive and Intercommunicating Excited States.

Abstract

The exact kinetics of a pulsed laser experiment producing two potentially reactive and potentially intercommunicative states is examined in detail, with special reference to aqueous Cr(en) sub 3(3+). The various possible regimes of rate constant values in all cases but one lead to physically questionable absolute values. The acceptable regime is that in which the first doublet thexi state is directly chemically reactive. A challenge to the reading of earlier results on the monitoring of the rate of appearance of the primary photoproduct is discussed, and dismissed.
