The reaction mechanism for photosensitized reduction of methylviologen, MV²⁺ through the triplet-triplet energy transfer from organic dyes to 9-anthracenecarboxylate, AC^- was investigated.From the kinetic analysis on MV^+. formation, it was estimated that both efficiencies of the energy transfer and of the electron transfer from ³AC^- to MV²⁺ were close to unity.
