Abstract

Mixed crystals of potassium hydrogen phthalate containing 3,6-diaminoacridine were photoexcited with visible light and the resulting triplet excited states were analyzed by time resolved EPR spectroscopy. Spectra from discrete growth sectors were compared with powders and polycrystalline glasses prepared at various pHs. The data yield the predominant protonation state and orientation of the triplets in each of a pair of growth sectors bounding the positive and negative ends of the polar crystal.
