P. Jacob et al., FEASIBILITY STUDY OF RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPY AS A TOOL TO INVESTIGATE THE LIQUID-PHASE CHEMISTRY OF ALIPHATIC ORGANIC PEROXIDES, Applied spectroscopy, 51(1), 1997, pp. 74-80
The described investigations are focused on peroxides occurring as pro
ducts in atmospheric chemical processes, namely, hydrogen peroxide, me
thylhydroperoxide, hydroxymethylhydroperoxide, bis-(hydroxymethyl)pero
xide, 1-hydroxyethylhydroperoxide, bis-(hydroxyethyl)peroxide, and hyd
roxymethylmethylperoxide. The compounds are identified and determined
through the position and intensity of their characteristic O-O stretch
ing bands in the range between 767 and 878 cm(-1), Time-resolved Raman
spectroscopy of peroxide solutions permits the in situ investigation
of pathways and kinetics of reactions between peroxides and aldehydes.
