The reaction was studied in a circulatory apparatus under a variety of conditions. The sole primary process occurring is C—Cl bond scission. The Cl atoms formed in the primary step, through an abstractive attack on the substrate, generate chlorodifluoromethyl radicals (CF2Cl) All principal reaction products, CF2H2, CF2Cl2, CF2ClCF2Cl, CF2HCF2H, and CF2HCF2Cl, can be accounted for by the combination–disproportionation reactions of the CF2H• and CF2Cl• radicals. The observed strong dependence of the primary quantum yields on the incident light intensities has been ascribed to a rapid substrate-reforming step.

Process Studies

The specific nature of the primary process in the reaction of 202Hg 6(3P1) atoms, photoexcited in natural mercury vapor by a cool 202Hg electrodeless discharge source, with CH3Cl has been examined in detail. Primary C–Cl bond scission occurs with unit efficiency. Quantum yields (φ) for the two primary modes of decomposition[Formula: see text]were found to have values of 0.71 (b) and 0.29 (a). The effect of various reaction parameters on the 202Hg enrichment in the calomel product has been investigated and the importance of isotopic mercury depletion in the reaction zone demonstrated by the use of intermittent illumination.A brief study of the reaction of ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, t-butyl, and n-amyl chlorides has revealed a relation between the molecular structure of the alleyl chloride and the efficiency of the monoisotopic route (a) to calomel formation. Thus, while the reactions of all the normal alkyl chlorides have φa values between 0.29 and 0.32, φa (isopropyl chloride) is only 0.22 and φa (t-butyl chloride) is 0.17.

Function Of Several Variables

The photolysis of methyl sulfide vapor has been investigated as a function of substrate pressure, exposure time, and temperature in the wavelength range 2000 to 2300 Å. The effects of added propane, sulfur hexafluoride, and 2-methylpentane have been studied. The principal products of the decomposition are CH4, C2H6, CH3SSCH3, and CH3SH. The data indicate direct C—S bond scission in the primary process giving rise to "hot" CH3 and CH3S radicals. A mechanism in which disproportionation of methylthiyl radicals is a very minor process is proposed.The reactions of CH3 and CH3S radicals with methyl sulfide have been examined also by photolyzing CH3SSCH3 and CH3COCH3 in the presence of CH3SCH3. Quantum yields at 2288 Å have been determined as a function of several variables. A number of rate parameters for the reactions of methyl radicals and methylthiyl radicals have been calculated.

High Sulfide

The triplet mercury photosensitized decomposition of ethyl sulfide vapour has been studied at 25 °C. The reaction products include C2H4 (Φ0 = 0.075), C2H6 (Φ0 = 0.043), C4H10 (Φ0 = 0.011), C2H5SH (Φ0 = 0.068), 4-methyl-3-thiahexane (Φ0 = 0.011), and C2H5SSC2H5 (Φ0 = 0.175). The overall decomposition quantum yield is 0.38 at high sulfide pressures. The initial decomposition gives principally ethyl radicals and ethylthiyl radicals; a second step which yields ethylene and ethanethiol may account for up to 20% of the primary process. Comparison of the direct and sensitized decompositions indicates that both likely originate in the triplet manifold of ethyl sulfide.Primary decomposition quantum yields have been accurately redetermined for the direct, 254 nm, photolysis of methyl sulfide (0.51), methylethyl sulfide (0.46), and ethyl sulfide (0.49).

The photolysis of ethyl sulfide vapor at 2537 Å has been investigated as a function of substrate and CF4 pressure, time, and temperature. Reaction products with quantum yields in parentheses are ethyl disulfide (0.178), ethane (0.138), butane (0.086), ethanethiol (0.096), 4-methyl-3-thiahexane (0.034) and 4-methyl-3,5-dithiaheptane.Ethyl and ethylthiyl radicals are formed in the primary process and the product yields indicate a net primary decomposition quantum yield of 0.48. A reaction mechanism involving subsequent reactions of the primary fragments is proposed and explains the observed products and the observed variation in rates. Excited radicals and hot radical combination products play a minor role in this system, in contrast to the behavior of lower molecular weight sulfides. Secondary photolysis of the disulfide produced and consumption of ethanethiol are important factors in determining the time dependence of reaction rates in this system.

The vacuum ultraviolet photolysis of gas phase bromoethane at 193.1 nm (6.42 eV) was studied over the pressure range of 1.1–303.2 Torr at room temperature using a carbon atom lamp. The pressure effect with and without inert gas, i.e., He or N2, was investigated. A scavenger effect of the reaction was also observed by adding NO as a radical scavenger. The principal reaction products were C2H6, C2H4, 1,1-C2H4Br2, and n-C4H10. The quantum yields of C2H4 and C2H6 were found to increase slightly with the reactant pressure. When the pressure of He or N2 was varied at a constant pressure of C2H5Br, however, the quantum yields of C2H4 and C2H6 were found to be pressure independent. Addition of NO completely suppressed the formation of C2H6, C2H4Br2, and C4H10, and partially reduced that of C2H4. These results were interpreted in terms of two channel competition between the molecular elimination and the formation of radicals. Two different decomposition modes were 82% radical reaction and 18% molecular elimination.

The mechanism of the HgH A22Π3/2 → X2Σ+ emission detected in the Hg(63P0) photosensitized decomposition of H2 and some of the lower alkanes, RH, was investigated. It was concluded that ground state HgH was formed in the primary process Hg(63P0) + RH(or H2) → HgH(X2Σ+) + R(or H). The HgH A22Π3/2 → X2Σ+ emission and presumably the A12Π1/2 → X2Σ+ and B2Σ+ → X2Σ+ emission, also observed in the above systems, result from secondary excitation of ground state HgH on collision with Hg(63P0). Studies of the emission made possible the estimation of relative quantum yields for the above primary process.

AbstractPeripherally and non-peripherally tetrasubstituted-[(N-methyl-2-pyridylthio)]phthalocyaninato magnesium (II) (5 and 6) and chloro aluminium (III) (7 and 8) tetraiodide have been synthesized and characterized. The photophysical properties of the complexes in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and aqueous medium in the presence and absence of cremophore EL have been studied. These complexes show high solubility in aqueous medium though they were aggregated. The triplet state quantum yields (FT) and the triplet lifetimes (tT) were found to be higher in DMSO with ΦT ranging from 0.32 to 0.51, while tT ranged from 282 to 622 ms in DMSO, compared to aqueous medium (pH 7.4 buffer) where ΦT ranged from 0.15 to 0.19 and tT from 26 to 35 ms. Addition of cremophore EL in aqueous solution resulted in partial disaggregation and increased photoactivity. The fluorescence lifetimes of the complexes showed strong dependence on their immediate environment. The ionic magnesium(II) and aluminium(III) phthalocyanines strongly bind to bovine serum albumin (BSA).
