Preparation, Analysis and Photolysis of

Dissolve 1.0 g Csl and 1.81 g Agl in 60 cm acetone. Filter if this seems necessary and evaporate on a hot plate to yield the product. Analyse as above. 

Spread a thin layer of the dried preparation on a Petri dish and expose to a low pressure mercury lamp until a noticeable colour change is seen. Mix the irradiated powder, after grinding well, with KBr and run the reflectance spectrum over the range 400-750 nm, using KBr as a blank. Carry out identical procedure with the original preparation and compare the two spectra. 

The cation of the previously prepared Cu(Il) complex is precipitated as the iodoargenate by mixing the solutions of the reactants. The product can be easily analysed gravimetrically as Agl after heating with nitric acid. 

Irradiate a thin layer of your preparation as above for the Cs [Ag2l3] complex. Irradiate separately thin layers of Cul and of Agl. 

Weigh out accurately about 0.2 g of your preparation. Heat gently at first on sand bath in the fume cupboard and then in an oven at lOS C to constant weight. Note the colour

A similar, but bimolecular, photoinduced reaction was observed on the basis of the nickel complex (28), p-toluene thiolate, and thioanisole reactants to generate methane and disulfide. The thiyl radical and Ni(I) complex was prepared by the photolysis of the Ni(II) complex (28) and j -toluene-thiolate anion in acetonitrile solution. Upon irradiation (A, = 350 nm) of the mixture of complex (28), j -toluene-thiolate ion, and thioanisole in acetonitrile under argon, gas chromatography-mass spectral analysis showed the formation of methane, ditolyl disulfide (TolS)2, and a mixed disulfide TolSSPh. The proposed catalytic mechanism is depicted in... 

The new compound SFCl was prepared by UV photolysis of FC(0)SC1 in argon matrix and by UV photolysis of CI2/SF3SF in the gas phase and characterized by detailed vibrational analysis in the matrix (436). 

Preparative Photolysis. The preparative photolysis of an aqueous solution (pH=8.5) of AETSAPPE (2.5 M) was conducted in a 1-inch diameter quartz test tube in a Rayonet Reactor (Southern New England Radiation Co.) fitted with 254 nm lamps. Within two hours the solution gelled and the reaction was terminated. Upon acidification the solution cleared, and the product could be re-precipitated by addition of base. This indicates loss of the thiosulfate functionality. The product was dissolved in dilute HC1, precipitated with acetone, and filtered. This process was repeated three times, and the final precipitate was washed with water. The product (20 to 30 mg) was dried in vacuo for 24 hours and stored in a dessicator until use. Comparison of the13 C NMR spectrum of the product with the starting AETSAPPE 13C NMR spectrum clearly shows that the thiosulfate methylene peak shifted upfield, from 39 ppm to 35 ppm. The complete 13 C NMR and IR analysis of the product were consistent with the disulfide product. Further, elemental analysis of the product confirmed that the product was the desired disulfide product 2-amino (2-hydroxy 3-(phenyl ether) propyl) ethyl disulfide (AHPEPED) Expected C 58.39, H 7.08, N 6.20, S 14.18 actual C 58.26, H 7.22, N 6.06, S 14.28. 

Different isomers of C qO have been prepared by photooxygenation [48], by MCPBA-oxidation [48], by ozonolysis [49] or they were extracted from fullerene soot [11, 50]. Isolation from fullerene soot and analysis of the product of photooxygenation and thermal ozonolysis yields only [6,6]-closed epoxide structures. As already observed for CgoO, ozonolysis and subsequent photolysis of the ozonide C7QO3 gives different [5,6]-open oxidoannulene structures [49]. 

As an example, a recent intercomparison (37) included three N02 measurement techniques aTDLAS-based system and two chemical-based systems— the photolysis-ozone chemiluminescence system diagramed in Figure 7 and an instrument based on N02 plus luminol chemiluminescence. Above 2 ppbv the three instruments gave similar results, but at sub-ppbv the results from the three techniques became dissimilar. Tests on the prepared mixtures showed that the luminol results were affected by expected interferences from 03 and PAN. No interferences were found in the TDLAS system, but near the detection limit the data analysis procedures calculated levels of N02 that were too high. The outcome of this intercomparison was close to the ideal the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and precision of each instrument were objectively analyzed previous data sets taken by different systems can now be reliably evaluated and each investigator was able to perceive areas in which the technique could be improved. 

Subsequently, following the successful isolation of stable phosphaalkene-con-taining polymers 156, the use of the same substituent for the preparation of a related polymer featuring P=P moieties was attempted. It is known that dipho-sphenes M can be prepared by dimerization of transient phosphinidenes J generated by photolysis of phospha-Wittig reagents L (Scheme 4.43) [80e]. Photolysis at room temperature or thermolysis (neat, 250 °C, 2 min) of bifunctional compound 155 does indeed result in the formation of polymer 157 in near quantitative yield (Scheme 4.43) [80d], This soluble material was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and GPC analysis, which revealed a rather low molecular weight (Mn = 5900). The UV-Vis spectrum of 157 shows a jt-jt transition (435 nm) accompa-... 

In a laser flash-photolysis study, 2-phenyladamantene was generated in benzene at room temperature from 3-noradamantyl(phenyl)diazomethane. This strained cycloalkene decays with second-order kinetics to give a dimer, and reacts much faster with O2 and Bu3SnH than with methanol, thus revealing a substantial radical character. Diphenyldiazomethanes possessing stable /er -butylaminoxyl and Ullman s nitronyl nitroxide radicals, e.g. (25), have been prepared by photolysis of the parent diazomethanes. Analysis of ESR fine structures showed that the carbene and radical centres couple ferromagnetically in these molecules, as expected. 

Photolysis studies were performed on freshly prepared solutions of the photoinitiator, (4xlO-3g/mL in hexane), the stabilizers (lxlO 3g/mL hexane), and combinations of the photoinitiator and stabilizer solutions. Solutions were degassed with dried N2 and photolyzed for 27 s with a broad band, high pressure Hg lamp (200-400 nm 0.030 J/s-cm2). The photolyzed samples were analyzed within 4 h on a DuPont Model 850 HPLC System equipped with a CN column. The solvent systems, CHCl3/hexane or IPA/hexane, were pumped at 1.5 mL/min. Products were detected at 280 nm with a minimum of five injections used for each analysis. 

Cyclobutadiene can also be prepared by photolysis of several different precursors at very low temperature in solid inert gases.These methods provide cyclobutadiene in a form that is amenable for spectroscopic study. Analysis of the infrared spectrum of the product and deuterated analogs generated from labeled precursors have confirmed the theoretical conclusion that cyclobutadiene is a rectangular molecule. ... 

From an analysis of product ratios they obtained 36/( 35 19) = 0.31, / i9a/ i9b = 8.9, and k-2nlk g = 0.021 AT" -sec. These values can be compared with the respective values of Heicklen and Johnston (1962a), which were 0.14, 9-12, and 0.020 ilf -sec, where the CH3O2 radicals were prepared from the steady-state photolysis of CH3I-O2 mixtures. However, in Heicklen and Johnston s work no direct calibration was made for CH3(X)H. This could account for the factor-of-2 discrepancy in the two reported values for. ...
