Photodissociation hydrogen cyanide

VI-2.2 Energy Partitioning in Photodissociation of H,S. 205 VI-.7 Hydrogen Cyanide (IICN), 206 VI-3.1 Photochemistry, 206 VI-4 Cyanogen Halides, 206... 

Cyanogen Halides, Hydrogen Cyanide, and Cyanogen.—Studies of energy disposal in the near u.v. photodissociation of ICN have had a chequered career. In an early flash photolysis experiment it was concluded that CN was formed in its ground electronic state with little or no vibrational excitation. Subsequent theoretical treatments all agreed that this was a respectable conclusion but new... 

Studies of vibrational (and rotational) energy disposal in the vacuum u.v. photodissociation of cyanogen, hydrogen cyanide, and the cyanogen halides, were reported by Mele and Okabe and the estimated vibrational distributions in the dissociations... 

Total cyanide determination requires appropriate destructive procedures to be implemented in order to decompose the sample matrix and liberate hydrogen cyanide. To this end, alternative approaches have been applied, e.g. microwave-assisted digestion [34] and photodissociation [35-37].
