T. Sumiyoshi et al., PULSE RADIOLYSIS-LASER FLASH-PHOTOLYSIS STUDY OF XANTHENE IN 1,2-DICHLOROETHANE CARBON TETRACHLORIDE/, Chemistry Letters, (11), 1997, pp. 1167-1168
The photochemistry of 9-xanthenyl radicals produced by pulse radiolysi
s of xanthene in 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) and CCl4 was studied by
means of successive laser flash photolysis. Photobleaching due to chlo
rine atom transfer from solvents to the excited 9-xanthenyl radical wa
s observed with quantum yields of 0.04 and 0.29 in 1,2-DCE and CCl4, r
espectively.
