Laser-flash photolysis was employed to determine absolute rate constants for quenching of 5-deazariboflavin triplet excited state by amines and phenols in methanol solution. The observed reactivity order for triplet quenching by aliphatic amines parallels very well the corresponding trend in oxidation potentials for these reducing agents; quenching by aromatic amines is significantly more efficient. In the case of phenols, quenching rate constants render a Hammett reaction constant (ρ) value of −1.2 ± 0.1. This negative ρ value is in accord with a mechanism in which hydrogen-atom transfer from phenols to 5-deazariboflavin triplet excited state takes place via an electron–proton transfer sequence.
► Absolute rate constants for triplet-state quenching of 5-deazariboflavin by amines and phenols are reported.
► Aromatic amines are shown to be more effective quenchers than aliphatic amines of comparable oxidation potential.
► Quenching rate constants for phenols render a negative Hammett reaction constant ρ value.
