Abstract: The photoinduced hydrogen transfering reaction in phenothiazine/1,4-naphthoquinone/ethylene glycol system has been investigated by time-resolved electron spin resonance technique. From the measured emission CIDEP signals of neutral 1,4-naphtho semiqinone radical NQH·*, it is concluded that the rate of hydrogen transfering reaction between ethylene glycol and 1,4-naphthoquinone is much faster than the rate of electron transfering reaction between phenothiazine and 1,4-naphthoquinone. The broadened CIDEP spectra obtained in acidic solution of 1,4-naphthoquinone/ethylene glycol systems indicate that a fast proton exchange process must exist between the spin polarized radicals NQH·* and NQH·2+*.
