a Reported as kr (=kf + kp); however, kp is negligible. b Reported as knr (=kISC + kIC); however, it was noted that the CT S0 internal conversion was negligible and that the CT T1 recombination was the most important non-radiative decay process, c Degassed conditions d Indirect measurement at 510 nm/indirect measurement at 540 nm//direct measurement at 505 nm, e same value in toluene (Tol), cyclohexane and MeCN.
