Abstract
Phosphorescence of methyl acetate formed by isomerization of electron- excited dimethyldioxirane is observed upon excitation at the wavelengt h of the absorption band of dimethyldioxirane in acetone at 77 K. The quantum yield of the photodecomposition of dimethyldioxirane at 296 K is equal to 13.1+/-0.7 mol Einstein(-1). The high quantum yield of pho tolysis is evidence for the chain mechanism of decomposition of dimeth yldioxirane.
