Em. Glebov et al., PHOTOREDUCTION OF IRC1(6)(2-) COMPLEX IN ALCOHOL-SOLUTIONS AND ITS REACTION WITH HYDROXYALKYL RADICALS, International journal of chemical kinetics, 30(10), 1998, pp. 711-719
The photochemistry of IrCl62- complex in simple alcohols have been stu
died using laser-flash photolysis. Single electron transfer from the s
olvent molecule to the light-excited complex has been shown to be the
primary photochemical process. Quantum yields of the photoreduction of
IrCl62- complex and the rate constants of its reaction with hydroxyal
kyl radicals were determined at 200-330 KI Deviations of the rate cons
tants from Debye-Smoluchowski equation for diffusion-controlled reacti
ons are discussed. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
