M. Fadly et M. Dawy, EFFECT OF GAMMA-RADIATION ON THE ELECTRONIC-SPECTRA OF POLY(METHYLMETHACRYLATE) DOPED WITH SOME DIVALENT ND(10)-CATION DITHIZONE, Physica scripta. T, 51(1), 1995, pp. 126-128
The electronic absorption spectra of dithizone (H(2)DZ) and its metal
complexes of Hand Cd and Zn doped in poly(methylmethacrylate) PMMA has
been investigated before and after gamma-irradiation. It is found tha
t the complex formation resulted in significant changes in both the po
sition and the intensity of the electronic bands of H(2)DZ. Gamma radi
ation causes remarkable decreases in the intensities of most of the ab
sorption bands of the metal complexes. The rate of decrease depends on
the nature of the metal ions.
