The study of rates and radical yields in charge-transfer (CT) interactions between organic triplets and simple anions has been extended to triplets of 1-sulfonate, 1,5-disulfonate, and 2,6-disulfonate derivatives of 9,10-anthraquinone and of fluorescein dianion. New information is also presented on 1,4-naphthoquinone. For comparison, H-atom-transfer reactions of the anthraquinone triplets with 2-propanol were also studied. The new triplet-anion results, together with many previously reported data, are analyzed in the framework of a simplified Marcus theory by which the activation energy of formation of the pure charge-transfer exciplex, DELTAG, was calculated and correlated with the rate constant k(q). Plots of log k(q) vs DELTAG(calcd) for the various systems reveal three groups of roughly linear correlations. The energetically favored interactions (mostly for I-, N3-, SCN-, and NO2- with DELTAG-degrees CT less-than-or-equal-to 0.2 eV) display the theoretical slope-1/(2.3RT). For endoergic interactions, two additional straight lines appear with successively smaller slopes that relate both to the respective magnitudes of DELTAG-degrees CT and to specific anion effects. This behavior is interpreted in terms of partial charge transfer in the reaction complex. Our comparative study bears also on the question of npi* vs pipi* reactivity in charge-transfer interactions. No intrinsic difference in CT reactivity between these two electronic configurations is found either in their quenching kinetics or in the quantum yields of resulting radicals. The reactivity of the organic triplet depends essentially on its thermodynamic properties (reduction potential and triplet energy). That of the anion depends also on specific properties, including its (large) reorganization energy (affecting the quenching kinetics) and spin-orbit coupling within the incipient inorganic radical (affecting the bulk radical yield). For anions that contain H-atom (such as HCO2-), the possibility of H-transfer is suggested in some cases. Also discussed, in light of the new results, is the difference in reactivity between 1- and 2-sulfonated derivatives of anthraquinone, representing respectively ''weak'' and ''strong'' sensitizers.
