The very sensitive and selective redox reaction between bismuth hydroxide and alkali stannite giving metallic bismuth (page 134) may be applied for the rapid and reliable detection of bismuth in alloys. The sample can be dissolved or it may be subjected to attack with bromine vapors. Bismuth, as well as other components of alloys, are thus converted into bromides. This step, as well as the transformation into Bi(OH)a and the reduction of the latter to dark, finely divided metal, can be carried out without visible damage to the specimen.

Based on the two equations, it is estimated that the apparent quantum yield should be smaller than the total quantum yield because not all the incident photons can be absorbed. However, this method is not often applied to evaluate selective organic transformations since the number of reacted electrons for these selective redox reactions is often difficult to be exactly determined, particularly for selective oxidation reactions, due to the relatively complex reaction process and...
