Abstract
It has been found that addition of alcohols (~0.1 M) to some liquid ketones and esters results in well-pronounced oscillations in the decay of the delayed fluorescence intensity from irradiated solutions. The analysis of the time-resolved magnetic field effects (TR MFEs) in the recombination fluorescence has shown that these oscillations are a manifestation of singlet-triplet transitions in spin-correlated radical ion pairs (RIPs) created by irradiation. Comparison with literature data indicates that the transitions are due to hyperfine couplings (HFCs) in the solvent radical anion (RA), stabilized due to the presence of alcohol molecules. In acetone, this stabilization effect has been observed for methanol, ethanol, 2- propanol, and, to a smaller extent, for tert-butanol. Similar effects have also been observed in diethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, and methyl propionate but not in methyl tert-butyl ketone and ethyl trimethylacetate. The results obtained indicate that the interaction between the radical anions (RAs) of carbonyl compounds and alcohol molecules is of importance in pulse radiolysis studies of organic liquids and their mixtures.

Appendix A
When the fluorescence time is short, the intensity of recombination fluorescence in nonpolar solutions is proportional to the recombination rate of the RIPs, F(t), multiplied by the singlet state population of RIPs ensemble [15], [16]:
where ρss(t) is the time dependence of the singlet state population of the initially singlet-correlated RIPs. θ is a semiempirical parameter to take into account the fact that in a multiparticle radiation spur only a fraction of recombining RIPs is spin-correlated, whereas some of them are composed of radical ions originating from different primary ionization events. The second term in the brackets takes account of such spin-uncorrelated RIPs.
In this approximation, the TR MFE curve,
depends only on the singlet state populations of the spin-correlated RIPs, ρss(t), in non-zero and zero external magnetic fields as indicated by superscripts B and 0, respectively. The ρss(t) dependence can be evaluated taking the paramagnetic relaxation into account as previously suggested [15]:
where 1/T1,2=1/T(a)+1/T(c)1,2 are the sums of the longitudinal or phase relaxation rates of the RIP partners, and T0 is the parameter to describe phase relaxation of the RIP in a zero magnetic field in the same manner. Subscripts “a” and “c” point to the parameters of RA and RC, respectively.
The analytical solutions to G0,B(t) are known only for some particular cases: the case of groups of equivalent magnetic nuclei and the case of a large number of nonequivalent magnetic nuclei. For a large of magnetic nuclei having different HFC constants that is the case of radical ions of para-terphenyl, in the framework of the semi-classical approximation, the functions G(t) are (in magnetic field units for σ and a) [29],
where σ2 is the second momentum of the radical ion EPR spectrum, γ is the electron gyromagnetic ratio.
For n magneto-equivalent protons with the HFC constant a [22],
