The characterization of the excited states of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (PQ) and its derivatives substituted in the 3 and 6 positions with methoxy (PQ1), chloro (PQ2), methyl (PQ3) and fluoro (PQ3) was carried out using steady-state UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy and phosphorescence emission spectroscopy at room temperature and at 77 K. Nanosecond laser flash photolysis was used to obtain the time resolved spectra from the triplet emission decays. The compounds presented phosphorescence in benzene, chlorobenzene and acetonitrile solutions at room temperature and at 77 K. The phosphorescence of the methoxy derivative, however, was observed only at low temperature. The derivatives showed a slightly higher triplet energy than PQ. The Hammett plots were applied to correlate singlet and triplet energies with or values that account for resonance and the radical character. It is observed that singlet and triplet energies increase with electron donating groups. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
