5. Examples illustrating the investigation • of photoreaction mechanisms: • - photochemistry of 1,3,5,-trithianes in solution
TT (1,3,5-trithiane) TMT (2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-trithiane) ISOMER b (cis-cis), ISOMER a (cis–trans) TPT (2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-trithiane) ISOMER b (cis–cis), ISOMER a (cis–trans)
Trithiane structures TT TMT TPT
Isomers of the trithianes a-form (cis-trans) b-form (cis-cis) R = CH3, C6H5
Stable products (GC, GCMS, HPLC, UV) For TT: primary product secondary product
313 nm photolysis of TT in MeCNpreirradiated at 254 nm for 12 minutes
Stable products (GC, GCMS, HPLC, UV) For -TMT: -TMT primary product primary product secondary product

Table: Quantum yieldsa of trithiane disappearance (fdis) anddithioester formation (fprod) in various solvents a All quantum yields were extrapolated to zero irradiation times; estimated error is equal to 10%. b Sum of 0.34 + 0.12 for RC(=S)SCH(R)SCH2R and RC(=S)SCH2R, respectively.
Decay time (tdecay) of intermediate I, growth time (tgrowth) of the dithioesters absorbing at 310 nm, and rate constant (kII) of I with CH3OH a Previously measured [9]. b No growth observed. c Determined from a growth/decay fitting function d The decay lifetime of the shorter component of a biexponential decay. e Previously measured [6].
266 nm laser flash of b-TPT in MeOH 60-100 ns 600-700 ns 1.4-1.6 ms 6-8 ms
266 nm laser flash of b-TPT in MeOH = 1.3 ms
