This report summarizes conventional methods for UV irradiation of air sensitive organometallic compounds at ambient or subambient temperatures. Of the irradiation sources available (l ) the medium pressure Hanovia 450 W arc lamp systems (2) are of moderate price, reliable, and versatile in our experience. Caution Powerful arc lamps can cause eye damage or blindness within seconds and UV protective goggles (available from most scientific supply houses) must be worn. Never look directly at the radiation source. For safety of other workers lamps should be enclosed in a vented box with baffles. If Pyrex transmits enough UV radiation for an efficient reaction, as for photochemical reactions of metal-metal bonded complexes (3), then conventional Schlenkware can be used for photolysis and no special glassware is needed. Since a 2 mm thick wall of Pyrex transmits only 10% of the UV light at 300 nm, UV transparent quartz reaction vessels are often needed for photoreactions of mononuclear organometallic complexes. 

With the controlled atmosphere heated sample holder, it was a simple matter to connect a thermistor-type thermal conductivity cell to the system and, by means of an external multichannel recorder, record the DRS and the evolved gas detection lEGD) curves simultaneously (17). This modification of the apparatus is shown in Figure 9.4. The cell was connected to a Carle Model 1000 Micro-Detector system by means of metal and rubber tubing. The thermal conductivity cell was enclosed by an aluminum block which was heated to 100 C bv means of a cartridge heater. The block was connected to a preheat chamber, also operated at 100 C, which was used to preheat the helium gas stream before it entered the detector. The output from the detector bridge was led into one channel of a four-channel 0-5 mV Leeds and Northrup multipoint strip-chart potentiometric recorder. The temperature programmer from a Deltatherm III DTA instrument was used to control the temperature rise of the DRS cell. Output from the Beckman Model DK-2A... 

The temperature of the guarded hot plate was kept at 35°C (ie, the temperature of the human skin) and for the determination of f th of the fabrics, the standard atmospheric conditions (65% relative humidity (R.H) and 20°C) were set. The test apparatus was enclosed in a climatic chamber, and the air speed, generated by the airflow hood, was set to 1.1 0.05 m/s. The test section was in the center of the plate, surrounded by the guard and lateral heater that prevented heat leakage. For the R test, the fabric sample was placed on the porous metal plate surface and the heat flux from the plate to the environment was measured. After the system reached steady state, total thermal resistance of the fabric was calculated using Eq. [19.6].
