a

Absorption peak wavelength (molar absorbance).

b

The first singlet state energy was determined from the UV-Vis absorption spectra onset wavelengths.

c

Emission peak wavelength.

d

Photoluminescence lifetime determined through nonlinear least-squares fitting to a mono-exponential decay model of decay traces after picosecond pulsed 345 nm excitation.

e

Photoluminescence quantum yield was determined using 9,10-diphenylanthracene as a standard (toluene, ΦPL = 1.00).

f

Radiative rate constant, kr = ΦPL/τobs.

g

Nonradiative rate constant, knr = (1 − ΦPL)/τobs.

h

Intersystem crossing rate.

i

Spectral overlap is integral between the absorption spectrum of the substrate and the photocatalyst emission spectrum.

j

The bimolecular quenching rate constant was determined from pseudo-first-order kinetic analyses of the photocatalyst fluorescence quenching rates with the substrate.

k

The rate constant for the bimolecular photoinduced electron transfer rate was determined through the relationship kPeT = −(kQ × kdiff)/(kQkdiff), where kdiff is the 1,4-dioxane diffusion rate constant at 298 K, estimated from the Stokes–Einstein–Smoluchowski equation.

l

The rate constant for charge recombination within the radical ion pair [PC˙⋯1˙+] to form 31*.
