Abstract
The effect of the addition of biacetyl on the quantum yield of photoreduction of acridine in methanol, ethanol, n- and iso-propanol has been studied under the aerated and deaerated conditions. From the analysis of the results, the quantum yields for four mechanisms ΦMS(S means that a reactive state is singlet excited states, S*, and M denotes a molecular mechanism), ΦMS (R denotes a radical mechanism), ΦMT (T indicates that a reactive state is a state other than S* and T(π–π*), most likely T(n–π*) and ΦRT have been decided, assuming that oxygen does not deactivate T(n–π*). The values are
