Resum

Fluorescence quenching experiments are essential mechanistic tools in photoredox catalysis, allowing one to elucidate the first step in the catalytic cycle that occurs after photon absorption. Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) photocatalysts, however, yield nonlinear Stern–Volmer plots, thus requiring an adjustment to this widely used method to determine the efficiency of excited state quenching. Here, we derive an extension of the Stern–Volmer equation for TADF fluorophores that considers quenching from both the singlet and triplet excited states and experimentally verify it with fluorescence quenching experiments using the commonly employed TADF-photocatalyst 4CzIPN, and multiple-resonance TADF-photocatalyst QAO with three different quenchers in four solvents. The experimental data are perfectly described by this new equation, which in addition to the Stern–Volmer quenching constants allows for the determination of the product of intersystem and reverse intersystem crossing quantum yields, a quantity that is independent of the quencher.
