Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.70.2269

In the photosensitized electron transfer reaction of 6,6-diphenyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane in methanol (MeOH), the quantum yield is increased by the use of 2-methylbenzene-1,4-dicarbonitrile (2-methyl-BDC) or 2,5-dirnethylbenzene-1,4-dicarbonitrile (2,5-
