The excited states of UV absorber, ethylhexyl methoxycrylene (EHMCR) have been studied through measurements of UV absorption, fluorescence, phosphorescence and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra in ethanol. The energy levels of the lowest excited singlet (S(1) ) and triplet (T(1) ) states of EHMCR were determined. The energy levels of the S(1) and T(1) states of EHMCR are much lower than those of photolabile 4-tert-butyl-4'-methoxydibenzoylmethane. The energy levels of the S(1) and T(1) states of EHMCR are lower than those of octyl methoxycinnamate. The weak phosphorescence and EPR B(min) signals were observed and the lifetime was estimated to be 93 ms. These facts suggest that the significant proportion of the S(1) molecules undergoes intersystem crossing to the T(1) state and the deactivation process from the T(1) state is predominantly radiationless. The photostability of EHMCR arises from the (3) ππ* character in the T(1) state. The zero-field splitting parameter in the T(1) state is D*(*) = 0.113 cm(-1) . © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
