Metalloporphyrins are ubiquitous in their applications as triplet photosensitizers, particularly for promoting sensitized photochemical upconversion processes. In this study, bimolecular excited state triplet-triplet quenching kinetics, termed homomolecular triplet-triplet annihilation (HTTA), exhibited by the traditional triplet photosensitizers-zinc(II) tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP), palladium(II) octaethylporphyrin (PdOEP), platinum(II) octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP), and platinum(II) tetraphenyltetrabenzoporphyrin (PtTPBP)─were revealed using conventional transient absorption spectroscopy. Nickel(II) tetraphenylporphyrin was used as a control sample as it is known to be rapidly quenched intramolecularly through ligand-field state deactivation and, therefore, cannot result in triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA). The single wavelength transients associated with the metalloporphyrin triplet excited state decay─measured as a function of incident laser pulse energy in toluene─were well modeled using parallel first- and second-order kinetics, consistent with HTTA being operable. The combined transient kinetic data enabled the determination of the first-order rate constants (
