Photochemical and photophysical behaviour of vitamin E: Interaction of its long-lived transient photoproducts with carotenoids

Multi-channel, flash kinetic spectroscopy with microsecond time resolution has been used for investigating the interactions between carotenoids and the following photoproducts of α-tocopherol (EH) in hexane, methanol, acetonitrile, and dimethyl sulfoxide: (a) the lowest triplet, (b) the tocopherol...
