The inversion of magnetic field effects (MFEs) observed in the photoreduction of decafluorobenzophenone was studied in the absence and presence of a paramagnetic Gd3+ ion. The MFEs appearing at both low (B less than or equal to 2 T) and high (2 T < B less than or equal to 10 T) fields were simultaneously quenched by the addition of Gd3+. For the present reaction, it is concluded that the inversion of the MFEs is due to the relaxation mechanism.
