Photolysis mapping

A much more sophisticated version of the photolysis mapping technique was developed later by Bersohn and co-workers, who replaced the thin film...

Aliphatic Carbonyl Compounds.—The photodissociation of formaldehyde, acetone, acetaldehyde, and propionaldehyde was studied by Solomon, Jonah, Chandra, and Bersohn, using the photolysis mapping technique. " For each molecule, broadband excitation in the (/> -> n ) band led to an anisotropic distribution of the... 

Pt particles were in situ generated by photolysis 563 of K2PtCl4. Vesicle-incorporated methylene blue (MB) or 10-methyl-5-deazaisoalloxazine-3-propanesulfonic acid (MAPS) were catalytically reduced by bubbling H2 through Pt-containing vesicles subsequent extravesicular addition of Fe3+ led to Fe2+ and MB or MAPS reformation these steps could be repeated several times... 

The double-pump flash photolysis technique has been used for two different applications the photogeneration of products different from those obtained with the pump and probe flash photolysis technique anda mapping of the potential surfaces of electronic excited states positioned above the lowest electronic excited state. For example, the flash irradiation of the metallophthalocyanine, M(pc)X (M = Rh(III), A1 (III) and X = C1 or Br) in the presence of Co(bpy)j+ produces the cyclic process described in Equations 6.60-6.62.28... 

The photochemical properties of titania surfaces are of interest for several reasons. They determine the stability of pigmented paint systems [76], the rate at which pollutants can be degraded in systems designed to purify air and water [77], and are the root cause of poorly understood phenomena such as water photolysis [78] and super hydrophilicity [79]. Using thin rutile epilayers with five low index orientations, it has been shown that the relative rates of photochemical reactions catalyzed by titania depend on the surface orientation [80]. In this chapter, experiments used to map the complete orientation dependence of the relative photochemical reactivity of TiO are described [81-83]. In this case, the relevant reactions are carried out at room temperature and this gives us the opportunity to fix both the surface morphological structure and stoichiometry. For the reactions described here, all of the surfaces were... 

The irradiance may not be homogenous or uniform throughout a test chamber. Samples placed in regions of low intensity may therefore be underexposed unless appropriate time corrections are made. Mapping of the test chamber (i.e., measure of irradiance at various locations in the chamber) should be performed every time the photolysis source is replaced. The mapping should include the UV and visible regions (see the following for calibration procedures). 

A Laue data set was recorded during the first 5 min after photolysis of the crystalline p21 caged GTP complex. The major species present at the active site was GTP as confirmed by the electron density map which showed clearly discernible phosphate peaks (figure 10.15(h)). Around the essential Mg2+ ion an expected water molecule was not apparent. 

A second Laue data set was recorded 14 min after photolysis and revealed the GTP/GDP state. In the electron density map corresponding to these data there was much less electron density at the y-phosphate position (figures 10.15(c) and 10.16). It is also of interest to note that the... 

The veloeity and angular distributions of NO produced by UV photolysis of nitrosobenzene have been determined by velocity-map ion imaging. With light of A = 290.5 (S2 state) and 226 nm (5n (n > 3) states), completely isotropic velocity distributions were observed, leading to the conclusion that photodissodation occurs on a timescale much slower than rotation of the parent molecule, and after redistribution of the excess energy into the vibrational modes. 

Kinetic Overview. The observations may best be introduced in summary by the kinetic map depicted in FIGURE 1. The kinetic behavior of the sample may be resolved into four distinct regions, temporally. Two (II, III) have been spectrally characterized and match those observed by Fischer et al (6). Third, there emerges (IV) a featureless "black" background transient absorbance, which may be traced from its origin in early nanosecond to its decay in the later microsecond domain. The final component (I) remained inaccessible to detailed study on both flash photolysis systems used owing to its appearance in an awkward tine domain.
