Singlet-triplet intersystem crossing of methylene in perfluorohexane solution has been investigated by CIDNP.Evidence of this process is shown by the polarized absorption 1H-NMR signal of Cl3C-CH2D, a triplet product, which is obtained upon direct irradiation of diazirine in perfluorohexane solution containing saturated deuteriochloroform.These results are confirmed by product analysis as a function of dilution by perfluorohexane.The rate constant for intersystem crossing for singlet methylene to triplet methylene is evaluated as ca. 8E8 1/s from the data.
