Abstract
Photosensitized by poly (sodium styrenesulfonate-co-2-vinylnaphthalene) (PS SS-VN) oxidation of cyanide in an aqueous solution was studied. The reactio n was found to occur via photoinduced electron transfer from CN- to the pol ymeric chromophores. The process leads to formation of NCO- (C) 1999 Elsevi er Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
